Faber Music
 

Faber Music has just produced a short video featuring interviews and excerpts from the recording of the new album of composer Nigel Hess, featuring the Central Band of the RAF.

New London Pictures

Entitled, ‘New London Pictures’ on the Chandos label, it features many of his latest compositions, including ‘Ladies in Lavender’ and the music from the ballet inspired by Princes Charles’s book ‘The Old Man of Lochnager’.

Nigel said; "It’s an opportunity to hear the music played by a fantastic band. Hopefully it will inspire other wind bands to perform the pieces."

All the music is now available through Faber Music at: http://www.fabermusic.com/
