With Standard Notation. Light Concert.
This piece is named after the Oxfordshire palace built in 1705 by John Churchill, Duke of Marlborough, on the estate given to him for his brilliant victories at the Battle of Blenheim during the War of Spanish Succession in 1704. It does not attempt to be descriptive of Blenheim but rather strives to capture the spirit of the Bristish band enthusiasts who have challenged out musical imaginations and dedication to music-making. A stunning, perfectly-formed, concert opener which gives players and audiences much to enjoy.
