The rag, popularized by Scott Joplin and others of his time, is a musical form still enjoyed by the audiences of today. Neil Hunter has cleverly captured the spirit, rhythms and colour of the rag in Pine Ridge Rag for brass quintet. There have been many arrangements of Joplin's pieces for brass quintet but very few original rags have been written for this versatile ensemble. This is a guaranteed audience pleaser and could be used as a signature tune or an encore piece.
