Composed by Josiah Walters as a solo for cornet with piano accompaniment, this solo work was commissioned in 2012 by Gregory Chaplain, principal cornet of the Carnoustie & District Youth Band at the time. The piece was written to highlight the skill and virtuosity of Gregory’s playing whilst demonstrating his all round musicality with the moving lyrical elements which dominate the piece. Also available with brass band accompaniment.
Eriskay Love Lilt is a traditional Gaelic melody from the Western Isles of Scotland, sensitively arranged here by Andrew Duncan as a cornet solo with piano accompaniment. This arrangement was written in 2001 for Phillip McCann and was first played by him with the Hepworth Band at the 2002 Leek Music Festival in Derbyshire, England. It has also since been recorded by Eleanor Ferguson on Reflections of Freedom. Also available as a solo with brass band or as a solo with brass ensemble (10-piece).
