The latest work to make sure you get in your concert pads is 'Leviathan'.
It began its evolution as a workshop work inspired by the poem written by Heathcote Williams entitled 'Whale Nation'.
At the time tentet brass repertoire existed of extremely well written original or arranged works of a lighter nature but there was a shortage of works with a greater emotional depth and edge, hence Leviathan's early conception as an atmospheric and emotive work.
Awe inspiring
It's a programmed work following the awe inspiring majestic might and beauty of whales through to a hunt scene, the chase and the ultimate demise of earth's largest mammal.
