Beskrivning

The four movements of Northern Landscapes provide musical mood pictures of various aspects of Northern working life.

1) Industry opens the suite with the bustle of factory machinery, followed attacca by
2) Seascapes which evokes the calmness of local waters during a fishing expedition.
3) Earth Dance references the mining industry where the blackness of the environment is mirrored by the darkness of the music while 4) Flight evokes the path of an aircraft on its maiden journey in this tribute to the aircraft industry.

Northern Landscapes has its origins in music written for the Ulster Orchestra Brass Quintet. This revised and updated version for brass band was commissioned by the Boarshurst (Greenfield) Silver Band, with National Lottery funds, supported by the Arts Council of England. It was set as the 2003 National Brass Band Championships Area Third Section Test-Piece.
