Fire in the Blood

Our last piece, Fire in the Blood, was commissioned for the 120th anniversary of the International Staff Band of the Salvation Army.
The piece was composed for the celebration concert where the ISB were joined by several other staff bands from around the world to perform independently to a sell-out capacity crowd at The Royal Albert Hall.
The composer charge with writing this new work wanted to acknowledge music that had an impact on him through my Salvation Army upbringing, so when thinking of a title for the piece he decided to reflect and re-word the Salvation Army’s motto under their famous crest ‘Blood and Fire’.
The band recently performed this piece at the SCABA autumn contest, where we were placed 4th in the second section.
