Cerulian

'Cerulean' is a highly creative four-minute composition for 10-piece brass ensemble. The piece is a fusion of both jazz and classical concert hall music. It uses an array of harmonies to depict the colours visible in the scenic summer skies overlooking Cardiff bay, an area where the composer spent most of his free time whilst a student. Commissioned by Fabian Bloch and written for The AmBRASSadors, the piece recieved its premiere on the 4th November 2017, in Switzerland. To give maximum flexibility, transposing parts are available for horn, baritone, trombone, euphonium and tuba.
