Dundonnell from Hymn of the Highlands, Philip Sparke

Hymn of the Highlands is a suite of seven movements all named after locations in the Scottish Highlands. It was written by Phillip Sparke and commissioned by Prof. David King for the Yorkshire Building Society Band. It was first performed in the 2002 European Gala Concert. Dundonnell forms the finale of the suite and has two contrasting sections. Dr Robert Childs included this in the programme tonight to represent Geoffrey Brand’s connection with the NYBBS.
The National Youth Brass Band of Great Britain under the direction of Guest Conductor Dr Robert Childs.
