Commissioned as a signature march for the Greater Manchester Youth Brass Band, 'Cottonopolis' takes its title from the unofficial name given to the city of Manchester that in the 19th century was regarded as the world's foremost centre of the global cotton industry.
Industrial heritage
It's an upbeat march that cleverly incorporates Ewan MacColl's well-known folk tune 'Dirty Old Town', which itself reflects on the proud industrial heritage of the area.
Esme Harper is a young composer and conductor who has gained widespread critical acclaim for their wide-ranging series of compositions.
