Lords of Velvet

Lords of Velvet is a piece for concert band with optional choir and is dedicated to the royal family of Spain. The work has a solemn and majestic character, similar to a hymn. It begins with a brief introduction of the main motif along with the (optional) chorus. Then there is a brief transition without the chorus to finally crenellate back to the main theme, this time majestically, together with the (optional) chorus and with minor variations with new rhythmic motifs in brass and percussion, among others.

This composition was created with the help of a contribution from the Music Investment Fund, an initiative of Buma/Stemra in cooperation with Voi(C)e, the Copyright Interests Federation and the Ministry of Education, Culture and Science in the Netherlands.
