SKU: BT.RSM1980

Composed by Derek Bourgeois. Set (Score & Parts). Composed 1981. R Smith and Co Ltd #RSM1980. Published by R Smith and Co Ltd (BT.RSM1980).

The dictionary definition of Blitz is any sudden, overwhelming attack, particularly from the air. It is shortened form of the German word Blitzkrieg, literally meaning a lightning war.
The piece is a test of skill, nerve and stamina, culminating in an aural ‘Blitz’ of great ferocity.
The tempo markings in this piece are intended merely as a guide to performers. The composer is particularly anxious that they should not be considered inviolate.
Commissioned with funds provided by the Arts Council of Great Britain for the finals of National Brass Band Championships held in the Royal Albert Hall, London, on the 3rd October, 1981.
