The carnyx was a long Celtic trumpet made of beaten bronze and held vertically so that the sound travels from more than three metres above the ground. The best survivng part of a carnyx was found in north east Scotland. The end of the instrument is in the form of a wild boar's head, and it has a movable tongue and lower jaw. This recording is the first in a series on the British Music Label representing a cross-section of my work as a performer and composer.
These CD issues represent my own efforts to generate new repertoire, which I am now passing on to players of the next generation. It is very appropriate that the first of the series should be by Scottish composers.
