Work Overview
Written for Oakleigh Brass in 2024, Train Sets is a group of three pieces that may be played
together or separately. Each is influenced by a bit of railway imagery, in particular the trains round
Melbourne, Australia.
1 - High Capacity
In a lively latin style, High Capacity reflects the new high-tech trains being rolled out on the
Melbourne system, and initially on the line that runs through Oakleigh.
2 - Branch Line
Some lines are rather less used than others, and meander through the countryside at their own pace.
Branch Line does just that - but sometimes has to face more "interesting" events.
3 - The Red Rattler
Melbourne's original suburban trains were nicknamed "red rattlers" and were initially steam hauled
before becoming electrified. This piece is modelled on a traditional march - but with its own quirks.
Listen out for the door slams and the steep gradients.
