An arrangement created by the composer from the third movement of 'Salt of the Earth', a Concerto for Tuba & Brass Band, commissioned by Les Neish, premiered by Les & Foden's Band at the RNCM Festival of Brass 2008, and recorded on the award-winning CDs 'Salt of the Earth' (World of Brass SFZ 150) & 'Double Trouble' (World of Brass SFX 152).
"In a way this arrangement for tuba and piano is a case of coming full circle with Salt of the Earth Finale, in that I have arranged it for Les Neish to premiere at ITEC in Linz, Austria, in June 2012, especially pleasing as Les commissioned and funded the original Concerto!" Andy Scott

"The CD 'A World Within' (SP&S DOYCD 276) is a recording that documents the music that I wrote for Foden's Band, as the bands Composer in Residence, from 2008-2010. 'Salt of the Earth' had been released on the 'Double Trouble' & 'Salt of the Earth' CDs but I wanted to somehow make reference to the piece that established my connection with Foden's Band. The Finale of Salt of the Earth was an obvious choice; almost like a latin big band, the two-part contrapuntal coda and unison cornet introduction have real impact. In place of the original tuba cadenza mid-piece are a series of riffs and solo breaks. I'm delighted that in 2010 Mike & Foden's have used this piece as their regular encore at concerts!" Andy Scott
