Divertimento Op.9 for Brass Quartet

“John Addison wrote his Divertimento for me in 1951. We studied together at the Royal College of Music where he won a composition prize with his trumpet concerto. This encouraged me to ask him for a Brass Quartet. The resulting work, consisting of five sharply contrasting miniatures, has remained a favorite in our repertoire ever since.” - Philip Jones, 1975
