Composed by Andy Scott and arranged by Jim Fieldhouse for Foden’s Brass Band. Premiere recording by Foden’s Band, conducted by Mike Fowles, on the CD “A World Within” (World of Brass DOYCD276).
Programme Note Roar! is a short punchy piece, with minimalist tendencies combined with jazz influenced harmonies. A bold opening statement gives way to a theme that develops with added layers of texture. These two ideas form the basis of the structure of Roar!
Originally commissioned from Sandbach School as a work for Wind Band, Andy was subsequently approached to arrange Roar! for Lions Youth Brass Band. It was then expertly arranged for Foden’s Brass Band by good friend and colleague, Jim Fieldhouse.

Percussion: 4 players Drum Kit, Tam-tam, Triangle, Congas, Timpani, Tubular Bells, Bass Drum, Vibraphone, Tambourine
