Concertino Catalonia is a movement from my Continental Concerto. The concept of the Concerto was to take a whistle-stop tour, anti-clockwise, around the various musical cultures and places of interest in Europe. Starting in the UK we work through France, Spain, Central Europe and Norway before finally returning back to the UK to finish.
Composed for the Flowers Band's winning 2013 entertainment set at the Butlins Mineworkers contest, this fiery paced Spanish showpiece stays true to the ‘concertino' name by featuring many sections within the band. Percussion gives the piece its rhythmic drive, whilst there are a number of individual contributions, starting with euphoniums and baritones, before moving to flugel/solo horn and finally through to the cornets.

In Concerto d’Amore, a maestoso opening is followed by a quick and energetic movement that leads to a magnificent adagio. A motif from this adagio can be heard in a swinging movement, after which the piece comes to a close with the return of the adagio. This arrangement for brass band certainly brings this beautiful music to life.

As with all modern cities, London is over-crowded with motor vehicles. London is the first major city in Europe to adopt a 'Congestion Charge', and this piece (with its stop and go traffic lights) is both racy and comical. Here are Londoners attempting to go about their business in the face of overwhelming odds.....
This piece is the final movement Nigel Hess' New London Pictures which represents elements of London in the 21st Century. The other two movements are Millennium Bridge and London Eye .
