BrookWright Music: Humble Hero (Fendall Hill)

The latest release from BrookWright Music is a lovely melodic solo from the pen of Australian composer Fendall Hill.

Humble
  The solo is available with brass band or piano accompaniment

'Humble Hero' is a poignant solo with band or piano accompaniment written by Fendall Hill in tribute to Ken Bradley, one of Australia's best-known and respected brass musicians who passed away in 2022.

The work was also a finalist in the 2022 BrookWright International Brass Band Composition Competition 2022 and has quickly become one of BrookWright's most popular solo titles. It is available for soloist in Bb, C, Eb or F with piano, and soloist in Eb with brass band.
