Description
A Manchester Tale is a poignant and graphic musical description of the city of Manchester during the trials of World War II. Composed by Andrew Duncan, the work is a vivid “tone poem” that takes the listener through scenes of daily life, the tension of conflict, and the resilience of the city’s people. Duncan’s writing is evocative and dramatic, utilizing the full expressive range of the brass band to tell a story of history and heritage. It is a substantial and rewarding work for bands looking to perform a narrative-driven concert piece.
