Flowerdale from Hymn of the Highlands by Phillip Sparke.
This is an Eb soprano cornet solo that I have performed several times with the Chicago Brass Band prior to my moving to Silicon Valley. I am re-preparing it to perform with the Silicon Valley Brass Band at a concert in San Jose on December 4th, 2010.
My cornet is a Schilke Eb soprano cornet with a copper bell, and my mouthpiece is a Warburton 1D with 12* backbore shank.
I recorded this using a pair of Radio Shack PZM microphones feeding a Sony miniDV camcorder.

Hi, Bart!

Thanx!! I heard Peter Roberts' playing it in my head while I played it. I think some of his style came through! ;-)

Thanx again!!!

HI, Dave! The music I'm played from came from Justmusicuk (just music uk dot com) as I recall. It's part of the set for brass band. hope that helps!

Thanx, tarmin!! I think it went pretty well. A couple of blips, but I'm relieved! ;-)

The videos of the concert are up.  Do a search for guyjclark and SVBB and Flowerdale to find it, since Youtube doesn't allow URLs in the comments!
