just some brass cheer because this is stuck in my head tonight!
stavanger brass band, conducted by selmer simonsen, performing "g酶ytilsjenta" (in an arrangement by robin dewhurst).
this was recorded live at the SIDDIS brass entertainment contest 2005.

Cheerful folklore-type dance in a meter of 2.
It sounds a bit like something that might be danced in a group, in a circle or a line. Or like something played during the credits of a happy movie.
The arrangement is fairly simple, switching keys between verses. Tiny modulations. Playful use of both B and B-flat.
Unusually, there's a piano involved, adding some colour. I think this is what makes me think of movie credits.
There are some interruptions where the meter is suspended.
More percussion joins in towards the end.
Cheers and applause at the end!
The image is the SIDDIS brass logo, which I think is a stylised depiction of Stavanger konserthus, with three valves added on top.
