Through the Gates of Clos Lucé 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.
Clos Lucé was the French home of renowned artist, Leonardo Da Vinci. Located in the stunning town of Amboise, deep in the Loire Valley, this would be the place where many of his masterpieces were to be created.
This Soprano Cornet solo is a demanding test for any player's stamina and high register, which also gives the player the opportunity to switch between light, jazzy and passionate melodic styles.

This Soprano Cornet solo is a 'song without words'. There is no specific word association; the music alone attempts to create an atmosphere of calm and serenity, and transport you to another place in the way only music can.

The precise origins of the folk song "When the Saints Go Marching In" or "The Saints" is unknown but it is believed to originate from Belgium and is thought to have been used originally as a hymn tune.
Since the late 19th Century, it has become a jazz standard of the American song-book and has been performed and recorded by a wide variety of artists. From the great jazz performers Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald through to the silver screen by Judy Garland and to the popular music scene by performers such as Elvis Presley, Dolly Parton and more recently Bruce Springsteen.
The melodies biggest advocate has to be the thousands of world-wide jazz bands playing in the New Orleans style, which is as popular today as it was at its inception.
It is in this New Orleans style that Paul Duffy has arranged this ageless classic for soprano cornet and brass band. A swinging solo line, which gives you the opportunity to show off your improvisational skills, is accompanied by approachable ensemble writing which captures the flavour and excitement of carnival time.
