BATTLE SYMPHONY

?La Battalia?
 
 
 
Woodwind and saxes only, technically undemanding and offering flexibility of player-strength, this is another of those marvellously inventive Gorb recreations. Here he takes a fresh look at the highly fashionable 17th Century battle romps, all fanfares, drum-rolls and martial scrimmaging. Ten sections in ten minutes, the action never flags for a moment in this breathtaking blend of baroque pastiche and something more subversively contemporary.
