Wright & Round: Born Free (John Barry arr. Alan Catherall)

A classic for film goers and tenor horn players... and perfect for any concert.

Born Free
  The iconic John Barry theme has been enjoyed by brass band audiences for many years

Composed for the iconic 1966 film starring Virginia McKenna and Bill Travers, John Barry's Oscar winning score captured the beauty, freedom and emotion of the much-loved wildlife classic.

Academy Awards

The title song also won an Academy Award, cementing its place as one of cinema's finest soundtracks — one that brass band audiences will immediately recognise.

Alan Catherall's superb arrangement (with its own iconic tenor horn led opening!) has warmth, energy and cinematic sweep.
