PREMIER PERFORMANCE OF NEW FANFARE.
Our brass quintet, St. James' Brass Ensemble, is playing a newly composed fanfare written specially for the wonderful new arts centre at Sturminster Newton called the Exchange.
The occasion for the premier performance is the Exchange's 1st anniversary which is being celebrated on Fri. 29th Aug. in the evening in the main Stour Hall.
The music was a collaboration between myself and Karen Wimhurst (friend, composer, musician) and is bold, exciting, contemporary and uplifting.
I contributed the main musical themes of about eight bars, but the real talent is with Karen in creating such an exciting arrangement that is many more bars than eight.
It lasts about one and quarter minutes and should blow any cobwebs and dust away from all corners of the building. We will follow with a light programme of fun pieces for the gathered people to enjoy.
