Written on Berkley Street in Birmingham this traditional fanfare is full of life and colour, and the perfect accessible item for any intermediate quintet. Performed by the Charterhouse School Brass Quintet in 2018, it features classic fanfare motifs, triplet and crisp dotted rhythms, a beautiful soft contrasting middle and rousing punchy finish.

This composition would suit expansion for larger ensembles. It works well as a processional, announcing or special one-off item for any important occasion. Get in touch if you think it could work for your school/music service line up!
