Who was Wilfred Heaton? With Paul Hindmarsh and Murray McLachlan
?Anyone who plays in a brass band around the world will tell you that Wilfred Heaton (1918-2000) was one of the finest and most original composers of band music of the 20th century. Several works have achieved ?classic? status ? a march called Praise composed when he was 18 in 1937, Toccata (1939) and Contest Music (1973).
However, some years ago, while I was researching Heaton?s life and work, I was shown a pile of unpublished and unperformed manuscripts that revealed a treasure trove of music for brass, orchestra, piano and voices, including some experimental, highly original concert music from the early 1950s ? a Partita for Orchestra (1950), Rhapsody for Oboe and Strings (1952), a major work for cornet (completed in 1990) and an epic 25-minute Piano Sonata, which he did not quite finish. I have spent much of the last 15 years editing this work and enabling performances. The task is completed with a performing edition of this major discovery for Heaton?s own instrument.?
