"The Volunteer" is a pastiche brass band contest march and was the winning category one entry in the British Bandsman March Composition Contest.

The music is composed in dedication to the many volunteers who work tirelessly to make the Whit Friday March Contests possible.

The work is written with upper section bands in mind and aims to be a complete showcase for a band’s contest performance. In doing so, the music follows the form and style of contest marches popularised by great march composers George Allan, Thomas “T. J.” Powell and William Rimmer.

All sales of the march support the various Whit Friday volunteer committees.

PROGRAMME NOTE: 

'Minibeasts' is a three movement work for saxhorn quartet commissioned by Katrina Marzella for Saxhorn Fest 2019. The work is written for a quartet of two tenor horns and two baritones with a piano accompaniment. 

The music is based on the bestiary; an early compendium of various common, exotic and mythological animals. Bestiaries date as far back as the second century and became popular in England and France during the middle ages, particularly in the Christian churches. Often the images would be accompanied by a moral lesson.

'Minibeasts' takes the concept of a bestiary in the form of musical work. The piece is inspired by three miniature creates and aims to capture their behaviours and characteristics in three moments: 

1) Spider: The Webspinner 

2) Mantis: The Prophet

3) Dragonfly: The Pond Dasher

The first movement features the tenor horns with the second featuring the baritones. All four soloist combine as a full quartet in the final movement.

'Minibeasts' received its premiere at Saxhorn Fest 2019
2nd February, St. Mary's Church, Richmond.
