Respectfully Yours - Andy Scott Euphonium and Piano |
||
|
New from Andy Scott and Astute Music an engaging, thought provoking and emminently playable piece !
Respectfully Yours was commissioned by Fabian Bloch, and is scored for euphonium and piano (and can be heard on his Drive CD, also available on this site.)
The world premiere was given by Fabian Bloch (euphonium) & François Killian (piano) on the 6th of September 2015, and recorded on the CD ‘Drive’. Andy Scott had the privilege of collaborating on a number of occasions with composer/pianist Richard Rodney Bennett, and composed Respectfully Yours in memory of RRB, who passed away in December 2012.
The composer writes;
“I was delighted when Fabian approached me to commission a new work, and it felt appropriate to write a piece that was melodic with jazz-influenced harmony that I think of as a simple ‘thank you’ to Richard Rodney Bennett, for being an inspirational musician and kind and generous person. I know that Fabian is a virtuosic and sophisticated musician, and felt that a new work with this underlying sentiment would be in very capable hands.
