Background

In December 2013, Manotick Brass Ensemble released its third CD which was recorded to celebrate the ensemble’s tenth anniversary in 2013. Titled “Joyful Reflections” the CD contains 18 musical selections which reflect many of the milestones during the ensemble’s ten-year history.

Included are musical arrangements especially commissioned for the ensembles visits to Cuba in 2011 and Jersey UK in 2012.  “El Mambi” a traditional Cuban song was arranged for the Cuban trip and proved to be a hit with audiences wherever it was played in Cuba. Included on the new CD is a live recording from the final Cuban concert by Manotick Brass which captures the audience response as they sang from the heart. For the Jersey visit, Manotick Brass commissioned a medley of songs associated with the sea and the seaside.  This rollicking arrangement has been a hit with audiences everywhere. Some of the key events reflected on the CD are Manotick Musicale, Canada Day, the 150th anniversary of Watson’s Mill as well as the 150th anniversary of the founding of the village of Manotick and the Diamond Jubilee of HM Queen Elizabeth II. One track celebrates music making with friends and features an arrangement for brass and organ of “Joyful, Joyful, We Adore Thee” recorded at Glebe St. James United Church in Ottawa with organist Robert Palmai.
