With the Heart premiere

With the heart is a fanfare full of energy and celebration. The title references a quote from the book The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry: “it is only with the heart that one can see rightly, what is essential is invisible to the eye”. This aesthetic links the passion of music to the giving ethos of the Rotary organisation, whose District 9800 commissioned the work for their 2024 District Conference.

With the Heart was premiered by the Victorian Youth State Brass Band (patron: Merlyn Quaife) directed by Phillipa Edwards in Bendigo in April 2024. It is published by BrookWright Music
