About

Composed over a period of fourteen years, John Pickard's Gaia Symphony and Eden are scored for the standard ‘British’ brass band, with expanded percussion in the case of 'Gaia'. Both works in different ways mirror concerns regarding the world and nature, and their relationship with the human species.

The two demanding scores are here performed by Eikanger-Bjørsvik Musikklag from Norway, one of today’s leading brass bands and the first non-British band to claim the European brass band title.

Reviews

November 2014

For all the technical resource evident in knitting these disparate elements so convincingly together - and this is a hugely convincing, gripping symphony - the expressive intent is grippingly achieved, comprising overlapping cycles of the seasons and four elements.
