'A Phoenix in Brass' was commissioned by the Fred Longworth High School Brass Band to celebrate the rebuilding of the band with youth players following the events of the Covid-19 pandemic.

​

The concept was to create a joyful and celebratory piece which evoked the idea of a phoenix rising from the ashes (hence the title!)

​

The work is dedicated to Josh Hall, an FLHS alumnus and former member of the band, who was a very close friend of the composer and who tragically passed away at the age of just 21. He was a fabulous musician and a true friend - hopefully this piece goes some way in celebrating his memory.

'A Phoenix in Brass' is available to listen and to purchase score & parts from Larch Music Publishing.
