King of Prussia, PA – Theodore Presser Company is pleased add a new Carter Pann work to the wind ensemble repertoire entitled My Brother's Brain (A Symphony for Band) (415-41141L - Large Score - $80.00). On the heels of his Slalom, which has enjoyed numerous performances as a new staple for bands, Pann has created a major three-movement magnum opus, a "triptych of sound paintings," as he has descibed it. My Brother's Brain encapsulates a lifetime appreciation of both uniqueness and similarity in his younger brother, through three stages of growth (child, facing demons, grace). My Brother's Brain was a joint commission by two dozen universities, which itself is high praise, indeed. Watch a performance here on YouTube, and see sample pages here. For advanced ensembles. Dur.: 30'
