Bad news, Dave. MA was certainly one of a kind.

Saddened,

Oh that is a bit of a blow!

He was a really nice man and a good friend and composer to the brass band movement. He had not written much for brass in the last few years and his music is not performed too often now but he was/is ripe for a revival.

'Little Suite For Brass' will always be a brass classic as, I suppose will 'Padstow Lifeboat'.

He lived to a good age, but still a sad day for all brass enthusiasts.......

A great loss to the British Music establishment.

I had the privilege of playing under Sir Malcolm a couple of times and found him very encouraging - even when something had not gone quite perfect he ended the run through with "that's JUST how I wanted it, it will be superb this evening."

This gives a great excuse to dig out the Concerto and Fantasy - wonderful pieces that deserve to be played a great deal more.

RIP Sir Malcolm - Vastly under-rated - a contemporary composer who believed in a good tune.

Sad news indeed. I played his Quintet in college, and the Scottish Dances just last fall with the wind ensemble. RIP.
