Origins

"Origins" was a project Craig undertook with the Championship section Ila Brass Band of Trondheim, Norway in April 2018. Band and conductor undertook a five day rehearsal period and concert project, which explored the development of brass band repertoire from the early marches & transcriptions, through some of the first major works for band, works by iconic specialist composers, and even a little Norwegian Arctic Funk. The full repertoire from the concert is listed below, together with the performance of Philip Wilby's "Paganini Variations" and a full playlist of video excerpts from the event
