A brass sextet originally written for an ensemble of music students aged 16 to 18, but that is suitable for competent musicians of any age. The piece is attractive and accessible to any audience and is full of rich, exciting brass sounds with a tender middle section for solo horn. It provides an opportunity for the unusual grouping of sextet rather than the traditional brass quintet. The piece is also available in a version for brass band instruments, which allows flexibility of instrumentation and of clefs.

Review: Andromeda for Brass Sextet by Dick Blackford is written for brass quintet plus a third trumpet. The outside sections are very angular with lyrical music in the middle. Each part plays throughout, and the dynamic variations will be enjoyable for students." – The Instrumentalist, October 2000.

Review: "For better brass ensembles, this would be a fun romp!" – New Issues March 2000

Biography

Blackford, Dick

He was Head of Music at Nunthorpe Grammar School in York for over 15 years and then at York Sixth Form College for 10 years, before taking early retirement in 1995. This early retirement was prompted by a desire to spend more time on composition. His works include pieces for brass and woodwind.
