Description
Made world-famous by pan-flute virtuoso Gheorghe Zamfir and later featured in the film Kill Bill, The Lonely Shepherd is a hauntingly beautiful melody by James Last. Arranged for Solo Cornet by John Glenesk Mortimer, the piece focuses on the instrument’s capacity for ethereal and atmospheric storytelling. The band accompaniment is light and shimmering, allowing the soloist to float over the top with a clear and expressive tone. it is a stunning choice for a lyrical solo that brings a touch of cinematic melancholy to the program.
