Stargazer
£28.50Add to basketScore & Parts
Again, not a traditional march but a great opener. Stargazer is the third of Kevin’s space trilogy. Again, this piece shows all the hallmarks of Kevin’s writing with a great melody and plenty of energy with a little twist, as in the middle section the title is spelled out in the cornets using Morse code. A must for any band.
