A Monmouth Overture was composed in 2007 for the Haberdashers' Symphonic Winds as part of Philip Sparke's year as composer-in-residence at the Monmouth school.

The work is based around the 15th century Agincourt Song, written in honor of the victorious Henry V who triumphed over the larger but outdated French army.

Henry V was born in Monmouth in 1387, giving this wonderful overture its historical title. Bring a piece of history to life with a modern twist to your concert program.
