Grimethorpe Band/Clarke - Nigel Clarke: Mysteries of the Horizon - Dial 'H' For Hitchcock, Swift Severn's Flood, Earthrise

Nigel Clarke has always been fascinated by virtuosity and timbre � it is the brass band genre that has lent itself most to his passion for musical athleticism. Dial �H� for Hitchcock is an imaginary film score in the film noir vein, complete with classic and chilling sound effects, while the heroic, brooding and violent Swift Severn�s Flood was inspired by a line from Shakespeare. Cornet concerto Mysteries of the Horizon examines the atmosphere of paintings by Ren� Magritte, and Earthrise celebrates one of the most iconic photographs in history and the drama of the Apollo 8 mission.
