Prelude and Scherzo

Prelude and Scherzo was composed for Jackie Greenstead, Solo Horn of the Thoresby Colliery Band. As the title suggests the piece is in two movements: the first is a lyrical melody, sparse at first that culminates in a radiant full band reprise. The second movement is a jaunty, light-hearted scherzo that shows off the technical ability of the soloist.
