Description
“Hailstorm” is a legendary Cornet solo composed by the march king himself, William Rimmer. As a cornerstone of the solo repertoire, this piece is a supreme test of technical virtuosity, featuring rapid triple tonguing, wide interval leaps, and brilliant cadenzas. William Rimmer’s writing epitomizes the “golden age” of cornet solos, demanding a performer with both immense technical skill and a bright, singing tone. Using the Solo Cornet part for the conductor, this work is a thrilling centerpiece for any concert, allowing a star soloist to demonstrate the pinnacle of brass virtuosity in a professional and historically significant setting.
