  • The Terracotta Army of Mount Li

    The Terracotta Army of Mount Li

    £20.00

    Composed by Steve Robson specifically for our Flexi-Collection World Tour Series.  Inspired by this wonder of the world, the piece embraces the Chinese style of music which often uses the pentatonic scale.

  • What's The Matter Horn?

    What’s The Matter Horn?

    £20.00

    Composed by Steve Robson and scored specifically for our Flexi-Collection World Tour Series.  Steve has been inspired by fond memories of hearing Alpine Bands and seeing knee slapping dancers performing in Switzerland for this piece.

There are various ways to convey the yodeling through instruments, but a bit of vocal yodel practice could be a novel new addition to the band’s warm-up routine!
