SKIRLL

Skirll - a shrill, wailing sound
Skirll was commissioned by WorldBrass in Spring 2010, as a piece suitable for their New Year Tour and Concert in the Dark series. Written to open the second half of their programme, Skirll (Scottish for a shout, a scream, an exclamation) begins boldly with a 4-trumpet fanfare which is enveloped in thick trombone chords. A strong forward momentum and rhythmic drive is quickly established, with thick doublings and jagged, angular textures that are punctuated by a descending fanfare motif that hooks the work together. The first performance of Skirll was on October 1st 2010 by WorldBrass in the Dark Concert Series in Hangar 51, Detmold Germany.
Scottish composer Tom Harrold (b.1991) is a Masters student at the Royal Northern College of Music, where he is a Radcliffe Trust Scholar under the tutelage of Professors Gary Carpenter, Adam Gorb and Dr David Horne. Tom's music has been performed worldwide at venues which include the Cadogan and Berlin Philharmonic
