London Bridge was originally written for brass quintet and later scored for 6 trumpets. This is a terrific novelty piece that shows off the ensemble and quotes famous pieces. This is the composer recalling the quintet versions premiere. A few days after the first draft was finished I took it to a clinic for high school band members at a local school. The clinic was put on by the Canadian Brass. They sight read it at the clinic. I even asked them to autograph the parts. They did. I did not have the nerve to ask them what they thought about it, and they offered me no opinion. That may have been good.
