Edward Gregson - Gregson: Music of the Angels: Works for Symphonic Brass and Percussion

Edward Gregson began composing from a very early age, and his extensive output covers a wide range of musical sound-worlds. Music for film, television, and theatre sits alongside choral pieces and works for full orchestra. Having played in a brass band as a teenager, he has shown a special affinity in his compositions for brass throughout his career - both for brass band and for symphonic brass, which we celebrate with this album.
