New Music Wind, Brass and Percussion

From the wind band containing all three instrumental groups to dedicated ensembles of brass, from wind and percussion to Harmoniemusiken, and from small-scale chamber combinations of mixed timbres and solos with and without accompaniment, there is a wealth of material to explore within Nigel Morgan’s current portfolio. The rich spectrum of colours and articulations possible in modern wind playing perfectly complements the composer’s intricate yet democratic play of instrumental forces. Performers associated with this new repertoire include the RNCM wind orchestra, Forsvarets Distriktsmusikkorps Nord-Norge, the brass section of Opera North, Woodnotes Quartet, wind soloists from BBCNOW, Tom Redmond of the Halle, and jazz musician Tony Coe.
