Fully Scored | Ep. 78 – Robert Redhead: The Composer

About this episode

This episode explores the musical contributions of Robert Redhead and their impact on the Salvation Army, featuring insights from a panel of composers.

Following on from last month’s episode about Colonel Robert Redhead, we now look at his musical output and the impact it has made on the current-day Salvation Army since his first piece was published over 50 years ago. Matthew is joined by a panel of esteemed Salvation Army composers who all know Robert Redhead’s music and the techniques he employed. We’re grateful to Martin Cordner, Richard Phillips and Marcus Venables for sharing their knowledge of Robert’s vast catalogue of fine music and how his music has influenced their own writing. Two new features for Series 7 – ‘Player Profile’ and ‘The Doctor will see you now’ – complete this new-look episode.
