A virtuosic cornet solo by Dan Price.
The Moody Mallard is an up-beat solo for cornet and brass band in a Latin-American style. The work is percussive throughout and the opening theme takes inspiration from the mambo whilst the second introduces the stylistic elements that we associate with the tango. There is a haughtiness present in most Latin music which is reminiscent to the persona of many birds but most noticeable in the duck known as the Mallard. To most people, the male or drake is the most recognisable of common ducks with his squat, inverted neck, white collar and glossy green head.

First Light was written for Kirsty Abbotts and Carlton Main Frickley Colliery Band.
A slow lilting melody is presented in the cornet solo and passed between the band and the soloist to create images of the tranquil night before the piece reaches a climactic moment which is meant to represent the beams of light emerging as the sun rises. The theme is then presented in a tutti forte section before arriving at a tranquil finish.
First Light is featured on the Kirsty Abbotts and Carlton Main Frickley Colliery Bands CD, A Search for Peace.

Composed for Tom Hutchinson of Cory Band, this is a virtuosic cornet solo in the tradition of Harry James, Tico Tico and Charivari. Composed with a Latin groove, the music is in turns sultry then sizzling hot!

A virtuosic cornet solo by Dan Price
The Sultry Swan is a slow melody for cornet and brass band and has two clearly defined musical ideas in its construction. The introduction and first theme are lyrical in texture and evoke images of the river bank, the water gently ebbing to and fro whilst the swan glides gracefully across its glassy surface. Although there are no other birds as elegant as the swan in water there are also none as comical out of it, and in contrast to the first theme the second theme reflects the natural ‘waddle’ of the swan when it is on dry land. A laid back solo for a lazy Sunday afternoon.
