Strange New Worlds (Peter Graham) - Krohnengen Brass Band conducted by Nicholas Childs

Strange New Worlds was commissioned by Nicholas Childs, with funds provided by Arts Council England, for "virtual" performance by the NCBB of Great Britain during the COVID-19 pandemic. The virtual premiere was streamed live on RUclips on August 7, 2020. The live premiere was given on September 27 that year during a socially distanced concert in Bergen Norway by The Krohnengen Brass Band, conducted by Nicholas Childs.
The work is in 5 movements with a narrative dictated by the individual movement titles. Although I consider the piece an analogy reflecting events in 2020 listeners will decide the story (or message) for themselves.
The five movements are:
0:15 I - Things to Come
1:53 II - Descent to Darkness (to be played without a break)
3:59 III - Resistance
5:32 IV/V - Aftermath/A New Hope
Notes by Peter Graham
