Canning City Band from the suburbs off Perth in Western Australia is to commission a new work to recognise the Centenary of Anzac Day in 2015.

Commitment

In association with the local government of City of Canning, composers are asked to write a brass band work of between 6 to 8 minutes in duration that embodies the commitment made by Australian and New Zealand Armed forces in conflicts and battles throughout the world.

These may include such conflicts as the Boer War, Vietnam, Gallipoli, as well as more modern battles such as Timor, the Gulf and Afghanistan.

Theme

The use of classic Australian and New Zealand wartime songs, variations in style, an overarching theme or story based on that of the ANZAC and the inclusion of traditional ANZAC marches and hymn tunes are part of the desired criteria.
