ABOUT THIS WORK Having learnt that his Territorial Army band was to become The Salamanca Band and Bugles of the Rifles, the Regimental Band to the 6th Battalion, Major Chris Willis, their Director of Music, decided to visit the Spanish city during Easter in 2006. His curiosity regarding the site of the 1812 Napoleonic battle was well rewarded when, on the first morning of his visit he was awoken by the sound of a bell carillon drifting through his open hotel room window from a nearby church tower in the heart of the old city. The opening bugle call is an exact transcription – sounding the very same harmonic series! Thus was the inspiration from which the rest of the piece was composed.
