A note from the composer...
Diamond Fanfare is written for a special occasion; hidden within the festive music are two separate versions of part of the National Anthem. Rhythmic drive and momentum is sustained by the percussion throughout whilst celebratory motifs are passed around the brass section, racing to a sparkling flourish at the finish.
Diamond Fanfare was commissioned by Lydbrook Band for the Royal Forest Jubilee on 2nd June 2012, conductor Ian Holmes, at The Speech House, Coleford and performed as part of the Brass The Baton relay race, a 2012 cultural Olympiad project for brass bands.
