Broadland Day was composed to celebrate Andrew Jackman's move to Norfolk in 1980. The music is an evocation of dawn till dusk on a day in high summer and is an attempt to write a piece of music of genuine symphonic breadth and depth for brass band.

The stillness of the broad in the opening bars slowly gives way as the sun rises over the reeds , awakening the birds, animals and insects. The flugelhorn solo leads into the second more active section where the pace of life on the broad gathers momentum as the day advances. The trombone solo signals the return of the opening music as dusk quickly deepens into nightfall. Stillness returns.
