MUSIC FOR THE COMMON MAN
(In memory of Theodore Cooney)
Commissioned by the Swiss Brass Band Association and the Music Association of Norway for their National Brass Band Championships.
The theme, stated at the outset, is largely reflective in mood, albeit with underlying moments of tension. Fragments of it re-emerge between the fast section which all derive from the
opening material. The theme returns triumphantly near the end, and after a series of changing moods, serenity and repose are re-established.
The title has a three-way aptness. it indicates the unpretentious nature of music, it alludes to a universally known fanfare and symphony, and it makes a fitting tribute to my uncle who died while I was writing the music, and who did much to encourage me as a composer.
