Northern Lights, Philip Wilby. Brass Band Set+Score

Philip Wilbys Northern Lights was commissioned by Black Dyke as part of their anniversary celebrations and was conceived as an interactive project involving both musicians and dancers.
As a Yorkshireman Wilby knows his roots. The musical material is based on the hymn tune Deep Harmony which eventually emerges through the texture towards the end of the work.
