Short and showy solo written for Brett Baker.
Capriccio for Trombone was commissioned by Brett Baker, trombone soloist and member of the famous Black Dyke Band. It is a tribute to the late Mike Moor, close friend and colleague of both Brett and the composer. The piece aims to capture Mike’s good humour, his love for brass band music and the irrepressible, enthusiastic energy he involved in all things he did in his life.
