Want a sneak preview of "Concorde"? Of course you do!!! A soundbite of "Droop Snoot" is playing - it's synthesised, but gives you an impression of just a small part of this fantastic new piece of music.
Surrey Brass recorded this piece on 6th May 2007 and a DVD is available from this site containing the music and a slideshow of images from the life of Concorde.
Product is delivered as ZIP/PDF digital download containing Score and Parts. Programme Notes and other information are available in the Premier Concert Programme which is also added to the delivery.
