Thanks, Simon! On the strength of this upload, this year’s HCMF is a mouthwatering prospect indeed! Funnily enough, I dipped my toe in the waters of last year’s composer-in-residence for the first time only yesterday, via another piece for wind ensemble, Mémoire, horizon. And are you familiar with Kalevi Aho’s 9th Symphony, during the final movement of which the trombone soloist is asked to play chords? Regardless of whether his choice of idiom(s) is one’s cup of char, Aho is undeniably a wizard when it comes to instrumentation.
