Echoes of Goff - Gavin Somerset. Brass Band

Echoes of Goff - Celebrating the Music of Goff Richards

Composed by Gavin Somerset

There is little doubt in anyones mind that Goff Richards music enriched the Brass Band repertoire with his colourful and imaginative arrangements and compositions. Composer, Gavin Somerset was encouraged when younger by Goff, to write for Brass Bands after they had worked on an arrangement together. Following the passing of Goff back in 2011, this melodic, yet powerful work that reflected upon two of Goffs popular compositions for band, Pastorale & Country Scene, was composed. Seven years on, this work is only now being released and provides an emotional music tribute, which both players and audiences will enjoy over and over again.
