The study score for the English National Brass Band Championships 2008

Robert Redhead is a Canadian who was born in Manchester, United Kingdom, in 1940. His introduction to music came through the local Salvation Army young people’s brass programme. He has been a Salvation Army officer since 1964 and has served in the UK, Canada, and New Zealand, both in musical development roles, as pastor of a church congregation, and in various executive leadership positions. His passion has always been to deepen the experience of Christians and their worship.
During the last two years prior to retirement in July 2005, he and his wife visited 32 countries on behalf of the General of The Salvation Army, assisting with the development of Worship and Evangelism through music and other creative arts. All his major works for brass band have been broadcast and commercially recorded. His previous commissioned test piece, Isaiah 40, was for the 1996 National Brass Band Championships of Great Britain, but has since been used at national championships in Norway, The Netherlands, Switzerland, and Australia, and was used again at the UK Championship Section Regionals in 2007.

He now resides in Orillia, Canada, with his wife Gwenyth. They have two daughters and three grandchildren.
