Composed by Duncan Stubbs. Score. Duration 3:30. Tradewinds Publications #TW01060. Published by Tradewinds Publications (CN.TW01060).
Born in Stoke on Trent, Duncan Stubbs began his musical career at an early age playing bassoon in local orchestras and shows. He was also organising concerts and arranging music for his friends from the age of 14. He was awarded his music degree at York University, specialising in performance, followed by a year's postgraduate study in Birmingham specialising in music education. He joined the Royal Air force in 1983 as a member of the Central Band of The RAF and was commissioned as a Director of Music in 1990, being one of the youngest ever commissioned Directors of Music in all three Services. In November 2001 he was appointed Director of Music of the Central Band of the Royal Air Force, a post he held for five years. During this time he was responsible for performances of several National and International premiers, also the first ever performance, with the "Royal Air Force Squadronaires", by any military group in the world famous Ronnie Scott's Night Club. In addition to his RAF commitments Duncan has continued his own musical studies, becoming the first musician to achieve the Fellowship of the Royal Schools of Music (Directing - Wind Band). More recently he completed a Master of Music Degree where he received both the William Primrose and Albert Thomas Howard Composition prizes for composition. The composer of this march enjoys visiting the Lake District in the north of England and this attractive, toe-tapping march has taken its name from the precarious final approach to the summit of Helvellyn, the third highest mountain in that area.
