A Dialogue of Transmogrified Souls... is a 12 minute extended composition [Test Piece] for brass band and percussion and winner of the 2019 European Brass Band Composition Competition.

The composition describes the dialogue between Antoine Gay & Francoise Chiquette, two people whom were believed to have been possessed by the demons Madeste & Isacaron. 18th Century France - Friar Marie-Joseph Chiron, who had founded a community that looked after the mentally disturbed, took an interest in Antoine Gay; believing him to be possessed. One day, Chiron brought Gay with him to the house of a woman nicknamed Chiquette, who was also allegedly possessed by a demon that Chiron reffered to as 'Madest'. Fr. Chiron claims that when Gay met Chiquette, their demons began to argue with each other: " A remarkably violent dialogue arose between the two fallen angels. The two devils sounded like mad dogs. They spoke a totally unknown language". Although the two humans had never met, the demons inside certainly knew of each other well. The feud lasted 6 days, after which Gay shortly died.

Rewritten for the 2020 RNCM Festival of Brass, Performed by Tredegar Town Band, conducted by Ian Porthouse.
