Bella Ciao Variations for Brass Quintet Written during the Covid 19 Pandemic, this arrangement of "Bella Ciao" was inspired by the scenes of music-making by Italian musicians during the darkest days of the pandemic. From rooftops, balconies and deserted piazzas, people continued to express themselves in testaments to the human spirit. I can't over-express my gratitude to Andy Sorg (Trumpet and audio production) and the fabulous Triton Brass for their performance and to Mark Emery the amazing videographer for this creation.
