Originally composed for euphonium and trombone quartet, Funk Theory became an instant success following its première in 2003, featuring the all female Bones Apart trombone quartet and David Childs.

The music is based on two simple chord sequences; the first is heard in the first 7 bars and the second is an 8 bar sequence heard throughout the piece. The melody continually varies and develops becoming increasingly busy and difficult. It could almost be considered a small set of ‘funk’ variations.

Funk Theory is great fun to play and creates a little ‘light relief’ during any concert.

This version is with piano and or CD accompaniment.
