Composed over a period of 14 years, John Pickard's Gaia Symphony and Eden are scored for the standard ‘British’ brass band, with expanded percussion in the case of the 65 minute 'Gaia' symphony. Both works in different ways mirror concerns regarding the world and nature, and their relationship with the human species. 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, perform these two demanding scores.
