The recordings and scores for these works, written for every principal study instrument taught at the Academy, are now available, creating a new library of varied contemporary works by many of the world’s leading composers.

It Could Be You Or You Or You

Mayo - It Could Be You Or You Or You

Recorded at a Gala Concert of Organ and Brass, Lydbrook Band, Philip Wilby, Ian Holmes, Colston Hall, September 2012.

Commissioned by Lydbrook Band for the Royal Forest Jubilee June 2012, The Speech House, Coleford; first performed by Lydbrook Band, conductor Ian Holmes, as part of the Brass The Baton relay race, a 2012 cultural Olympiad project for brass bands.   

Diamond Fanfare is written for a special occasion; hidden within the festive music are two separate versions of part of the National Anthem.  Rhythmic drive and momentum is sustained by the percussion throughout whilst celebratory motifs are passed around the brass section, racing to a sparkling flourish at the finish.

Clausura

Listed by the Guinness Book of Records as the world's shortest opera, The Sands of Time was composed by Peter Reynolds to a libretto by Simon Rees in 1993 and first performed in the centre of Cardiff, UK, by soprano Rhian Owen and baritone Dominic Burns with members of the (then) Welsh College of Music and Drama. This is a recording of that performance which set a world record of 4.09'. A subsequent performance by the BBC set a new record of 3.34'.
