Style: Brass quintet, classical
Primary Emotions/Themes: Wonder, peace, tranquility, exploration, childhood innocence
Thoughts: This is the continuation of Brass Fantasia I, and everything said about the first entry can be said about the second.
The Ghibli movies are some of the best of this generation, and the music is a huge part of that. Arrangement albums like this help put those wonderful melodies into a new context. The way the brass is used still captures the wonderful experience that the original scores had, but they make it a bit simpler, a bit easier to digest.
Instead of a huge orchestra we get a five piece playing the best of the best. It's the perfect music to sit back with and wind down after a particularly challenging day. Or perhaps any time that I need to be reminded that there is still good in this pathetically disgusting world we live in.
