Programme Note
The Torchbearer was commissioned as the test piece for the 2009 National
Brass Band Championships of Great Britain and the FABB Open Contest
respectively and pays musical tribute to Eric Ball, considered by many to be the
20th century’s most influential composer of brass band music. The thematic
material is derived from the first phrase of the trio from Eric Ball’s Salvation Army
march, Torchbearers.
Follow the Flame is a main theme from the larger work, now fully
metamorphosised and mirroring in music a concept at the centre of Ball’s broader
philosophy, that of transformation.
This version for solo flugel horn was arranged for Lucy Murphy.
About the Composer
Born in Scotland, Peter Graham read music at Edinburgh and London Universities
(Goldsmiths’ College) and following spells in publishing in New
York and London he is currently Professor of Composition at
the University of Salford in Greater Manchester, England.
His music for brass and wind is performed across the globe,
from China, Taiwan, Japan, Korea and Singapore in the Far
East, across North and South America and in every major
European country. Awards include the American Bandmasters
Association/Ostwald Award for Original Composition for
Symphonic Winds and the Iles Medal of the Worshipful
Company of Musicians
Follow the Flame (duration c. 3:30 minutes)
