Composer Gavin Higgins with a playlist that packs a musical punch

Composer Gavin Higgins opens up a colourful selection of music from the inside - revealing familiar and unfamiliar works in a new light.

From a young age composer Gavin Higgins was immersed in the brass band culture of the Forest of Dean where he grew up. His musical roots are reflected in a selection of pieces that celebrate the brass family by composers including John Ireland, Schumann, Beethoven and Bernstein.

Gavin is also captivated by the cosmic sound world of composer Kaija Saariaho and the haunting and nostalgic melodies of Herbert Howells. And Harry Potter also makes an appearance.

A series in which each week a musician explores a selection of music - from the inside.
