Brass Band
Dark Arteries Suite
Higgins, Gavin
Dark Arteries is a personal and at times highly wrought response to the Miners’ Strike and its aftermath. It is in
three movements, the first and last are expansive, with widely contrasting sound worlds, from dark, brooding
melodies and the haunting sounds of solo flugel horn to wild syncopations on cornets, suggestive of an
imposing, but often bleak mining landscape.

Destroy, Trample, As Swiftly As She
Higgins, Gavin
Destroy, Trample, As Swiftly As She is a dramatic, virtuoso score that contrasts episodes of visceral energy,
pounding rhythms, wild flutter-tonguing and brassy angular themes, with the ominous stillness of calmer
moments suffused with the unique sound of four flugel horns.
