for Katrina Marzella and the Black Dyke Band.
"With His First Breath" is the lovely slow melody taken from the middle movement of my larger work Breath of Souls. It has been composed for performance by any B-flat soloist within the ensemble - Cornet, Euphonium, Baritone, Flugel or Trombone.
Starting with a short introduction the soloist enters, performing the main theme with simple accompaniment from the ensemble. After a short interlude the main theme is performed again, this time in the new change of key and a lot quieter showing off the soloist’s dynamic control.
The contrasting middle section gives the opportunity for a counter melody by the soloist before a build to the return of the main theme. This time the soloist combines with the ensemble playing part of the main melody and then souring over the ensemble with the countermelody before bringing the piece to a peaceful close.
"With His First Breath" is dedicated to my son, Luca.

Seven Men of Moidart Charles Edward Stuart arrived on the island of Eriskay in the Outer Hebrides on 2nd August 1745. With him were seven men, four Irish, two Scottish and one English. They became known as the Seven Men of Moidart. On 19th August 1745 Charles raised the standard at Glenfinnan to lead the Second Jacobite Rising in his fathers name.
1. William Murray, Marquess of Tullibardine, was almost sixty. He had supported the Jacobites in both the ’15 and the ’19 and was deprived of his estates at Blair Atholl. Died in the Tower of London in 1746.
2. Sir John MacDonald, a cavalry officer in the French forces and Instructor of Cavalry to the Jacobites. Kept a journal throughout the campaign which historians found invaluable. Captured at Culloden but claimed French citizenship and was eventually exchanged for English prisoners.
3. Francis Strickland the only Englishman. Reputed to have died ‘of a dropsy’ in Carlisle.
4. Sir Thomas Sheridan, the Prince’s elderly tutor was over seventy years of age in 1745. Sheridan was sent back to Rome to keep King James up to date with events. Died of a fit in 1746.

6. Parson George Kelly who was sent to France with news of the Jacobite victory at Prestonpans. He joined the Prince in exile in Paris and died in 1762.
7. John William O’Sullivan, an Irishman who generates much debate about his influence over the Prince. Escaped to France and married Louise Fitzgerald. Died in the early 1760s.

Duration 4.30 From Hymn of the Highlands
The River Alladale provides the inspiration for this lyrical piece which has a lilting melody with an unmistakeable Scottish feel. The trio of Flugel Horn, Tenor Horn and Baritone provide a wonderful sense of flowing with the river which, as the piece progresses, broadens and grows stronger as it nears the outlet to the sea by the Summer Isles. Bring a touch of Scots magic to your concert with this delightful piece.
