Black Dyke Band have commissioned composer Luke Carver Goss and performance poet Ian McMillan to write ‘Pure Gold: a 4×3 Relay Race’ for full brass band (Black Dyke) with percussion, the Yorkshire youth brass band and the Halifax Choral Society. The piece will use the theme and structure of a relay race and will be divided into four three minute ‘legs’/sections: Power, Speed, Losing Ground and Triumph. Through these sections the writers will weave together words and music to tell the tale of triumph over adversity, team work and sporting pride. We expect the piece to be a joyous celebration of sporting and cultural Olympic spirits.
