Within Blue Empires, Paul Lovatt-Cooper, Brass & Percussion

Within Blue Empires

Within Blue Empires was commissioned by Graham Taylor, a successful design consultant.  Graham was whale watching off the coast of Canada when he became inspired and fell in love with the great mammals.  The composition follows a programmatic brief, focusing on the sea, and in particular, the of whales.  The British Federation of Brass Band (BFBB) chose Within Blue Empires as the test-piece for the 2009 English National Brass Band Championships.
