Fuga in C - Krebs

One of Parry’s most famous choral works. This wonderful piece is quintessentially English and requires a lyrical style of brass playing.

My Soul, There is a Country - Parry

This work is based on a Manx folk tune and a traditional carol. The beautifully haunting folk tune from the Isle of Man “The Sheep Under the Snow” intertwines with the traditional “Sans Day Carol”. The work starts with a trumpet solo imitating a fiddle, with tuba and trombone later providing a drone. The work grows and culminates with a flexible improvisatory section which fades towards a poignant ending.

Russell Gilmour is a natural trumpet specialist and a skilled cornetto player. Performing on the natural trumpet, keyed trumpet, modern trumpet and cornetto, Russell has given live performances, as well as radio and television broadcasts, in more than 15 countries. He has also featured on several professional recordings in Europe, North America and Australia.

Russell has performed and recorded with some of the finest period instrument ensembles, including the Academy of Ancient Music, the Australian Brandenburg Orchestra, the Taverner Consort, the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment and the Wrocław Baroque Orchestra.

Recent performances have included Bach's Brandenburg Concerto No.2 at the Royal College of Music and works by Gabrieli and Zielenski on the cornetto in St. Mark's Basilica, Venice. Let the Bright Seraphim in Westminster Abbey and Haydn’s Trumpet Concerto on the keyed trumpet in Edmonton, Canada have been other notable performances.

Russell's enthusiasm for performing and researching Renaissance, Baroque and Classical music, particularly the music of Johann Sebastian Bach, was cultivated at the Royal Northern College of Music (Manchester), under the inspiring influence of David Staff. This fascination continued throughout his studies with Michael Laird at the Royal College of Music (London), where Russell gained the 'Master of Music in Historical Performance' qualification with distinction. 

On the modern trumpet, Russell has performed contemporary works including Paths by Takemitsu and a new work by Deirdre Gribbin entitled Island People, which he premiered at Dartington International Summer School with the Smith String Quartet and Evelyn Tubb (Soprano). As a chamber musician, Russell has given recitals with some of Britain's leading brass ensembles: including Chaconne Brass and the London Trumpet Choir.
