Justin Hurwitz

Epilogue from 'La La Land'

Epilogue is taken from the movie 'La La Land', released in 2016. 'La La Land' won several important prizes that year, and especially the soundtrack written by American composer Justin Hurwitz received widely acclaim. Epilogue is a medley, presented in the original soundtrack, consisting of many of the most well-known themes from the movie. This arrangement was commissioned by Jaren Hornmusikkforening in 2018. The arranger has tried to transcribe the original music as closely as possible. However, some parts are slightly different from the piano-based original music. There are also some changes in keys to make the music more playable for brass band. The piece changes style and tempo often (as the original soundtrack), which requires good abilities for both flexibility and precision in the band. There are also several rhytmically demanding parts, as well as challenging parts for soloists.
