The ballet "Coppelia" was first premiered in May 1870, unfortunately its successful run was interrupted by the Franco-Prussian war. Thankfully, the ballet still went on to become the most performed opera at the Opera Garnier in Paris. The ballet brought Delibes his first taste of success, encouraging him to carry on to other great works such as Lakeme, and Le Corsaire. Arranged by Barry Strickle, the Prelude and Mazurka from Coppelia will be instantly recognizable to most, and features regularly on Classic FM.

Prelude & Fanfare takes its inspiration from a piece of NASA video footage where a camera is attached to a piece of debris and jettisoned into space from the space shuttle. Initially, the camera captures images of the shuttle flying off into the distance and out of sight and images of Earth from outer space as the debris floats around. The Earth's magnetic field takes hold of the debris and it re enters the Earth's atmosphere, gathering speed and plummeting towards Earth.
The work is a musical reflection of this journey, starting with the weightless lontano section. A musical representation of the entry into Earth's atmosphere, and the brisk tempo and rhythm of the main theme, convey images of accelerated speed and excitement which eventually climaxes in the inevitable final thud of both the musical and documented journey.
