Flugel Horn & Brass Band. David Raksin was active in the music business for so many decades that he was thought by many to be the Grandfather of film music. Raksin created notable scores for films such as Forever Amber and The Bad and the Beautiful, though he is best known for the soundtrack to Laura, where the lead character is always represented by the same theme, an “idée fixe”. This haunting melody gets under your skin and stays there. It is totally suited to the plot where the investigating detective is haunted by the subject of his investigations. Here is a chance to feature your flugel soloist in this jazz ballad which has been given the ‘Freeh treatment’. Duration: 4:00 Grade: Medium

This piece for solo Flugel Horn and Brass Band was inspired by beautiful sunsets -the sky ceates a dazzling display of yellows, oranges, and reds, before turning a calm blue, then purple, and finally black. Duration: 3:30 Grade: Easy-Intermediate

Recorded by William Fairey Engineering Band on Polyphonic CD QPRL054D: Hymns Ancient and Modern
