Lyric Competition

In October 2024 Cathays Brass will be celebrating 10 years of positive community music activity.

To celebrate the occasion, we are commissioning composer Michael Triggs to write a work for Brass Band which features a section that can be performed with a choir/vocalist. This is where we need your help!

We’ve asked our members what Cathays Brass means to them and created a Word Cloud to display the answers. We’d like this to be the basis for the lyrics used in this project.

The lyrics must include English & Welsh words, however how these appear is at your discretion. For example, direct translations, separate verse & chorus writing, alternative lines may all be considered.
