Inspiration behind Shackleton's Cross
Shackleton's Cross for Trumpet or Cornet and Brass Band Score is a musical masterpiece inspired by a painting created in 1957 by the English artist Edward Seago. The title refers to a cross that was erected to the memory of Sir Ernest Shackleton, who led a number of explorations to the Antarctic.
The Story behind the Cross
Shackleton died in 1922 whilst on a Polar expedition, and the cross can be found on a promontory at the entrance to the bay at Grytviken Whaling Station in South Georgia. The painting is owned by HRH The Duke of Edinburgh, and was part of an exhibition at Buckingham Palace from October 2011 to April 2012.
Musical Arrangement
Originally scored for oboe, trumpet, and small orchestra, Daniel Hall's sensitive arrangement for trumpet or cornet and brass band follows the composer's alternative version for solo trumpet and organ, created for Crispian Steele-Perkins (trumpet) and David Goode (organ).
Perfect for Music Enthusiasts
This score is a must-have for music enthusiasts and collectors of rare scores. With its unique blend of melody and harmony, Shackleton's Cross is a masterpiece that will leave you in awe.
