This volume brings together all the music Walton wrote for brass throughout his life, from the various fanfares, often written for ceremonial occasions, to the more extended work, The First Shoot, a piece which the editor of this volume, Elgar Howarth, was instrumental in bringing to life. The volume includes full critical apparatus and selected facsimiles of manuscript pages.

About William Walton Edition

In March 2014 Oxford University Press published the last volume in its magnificent William Walton Edition, the only complete critical edition of a 20th-century British composer's oeuvre. All 24 volumes are handsomely printed and bound. Walton's entire output is now available to scholars and performers in a definitive and fully practical edition, based on the form in which the composer ultimately wished his music to be performed. The general editor, David Lloyd-Jones - the eminent conductor, English music specialist, and founder of Opera North - invited a world-class expert to edit each volume. Carefully researched introductory essays place the works in their historical context and in the composer's oeuvre, and there are full critical notes.
