Description
Caprington Doubles: A Fanfare for Gilmorehill by Sally Beamish is a 4-minute work for Brass Ensemble. It was commissioned in 2001 by the University Court of the University of Glasgow in celebration of the Eleventh Jubilee (the 500th anniversary of the founding of the University). Intended for use at University ceremonial occasions in the new millennium, the fanfare takes as its starting point the five notes that can be played on the Caprington horn and subjects these notes to a series of variations or 'doubles', to use the old musical term. The work was first performed by members of the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Vassily Sinaisky, at the Bute Hall on 20 October 2001.
This edition is the Brass version (EP72815a). A version for Organ is available with edition number EP72815.
