Songs from the North was originally commissioned by the Park Lane Group and composed by Edward McGuire for John Wallace on the occasion of his 65th birthday. The piece offers a mesmerising, delicate and playful collection of 5 songs for voice (soprano) and brass - each song adding an additional layer of brass sound, building towards the final movement which combines soprano voice with a full brass quintet. Provided with full score and parts for solo soprano voice, trumpet, F horn, trombone and tuba.
