Symphony No. 1 - The Hellenic (Full Suite) - Symphonic Wind Band - LM892

COMPOSER : Nick Elwood

The Hellenic began in 1980 while I was a student at the Royal Military School of Music, Kneller Hall. I went back to the original score in 2018 and developed the work into a large scale composition. My inspiration derived from my interest in classical history and having completed a classics degree in 2015, my enthusiasm was fired.

The Hellenic comprises four movements each depicting an aspect or event crucial to the Athenian polis in the 4th century  BC.
