Category: SOLOS - B♭. Cornet/Trumpet with Piano Composer: Philip Wilby
for Roger Webster
Duration 19.00
At a time when we are being encouraged to survey the recent past, its title aims to catch a flavour of that spirit of optimistic vision which coloured the British psyche at the end of the Second War, at once heroic, elegiac, and confident. The concerto’s three movements are arranged in a circular pattern around a reflective slow movement. At the heart of that movement is a Cadenza, marked to be played off-stage, where the soloist is surrounded and supported by an additional group of fanfare players. By contrast, the outer movements are energetic and brisk, at times heroic, and at times virtuosic.

Difficult cornet solo. Duration 5.21
This piece is full of wild emotion and bravado, and gives the soloist the chance to show off technique, high register and musicianship. The band parts offer any band a reasonable challenge also.
