Shine is my second large scale work for solo tuba, following on from my concerto Episodes and Echoes. Like the concerto, Shine was commissioned and premiered (with the Grimethorpe Brass Band, conducted by Howard Evans) by Les Neish – the title being an anagram of the soloist's surname.
Although in one movement, Shine has 3 broad sections, each requiring virtuosic skill and dexterity from the soloist. The opening section features lots of bright, metallic sounds – especially in the percussion section – providing the accompaniment to soloist as they demonstrate the range and flexibility of the tuba.
