The seven-movement suite for brass band Hymn of the Highlands was commissioned by David King and the Yorkshire Building Society Band for first performance at the 2002 European Brass Band Championships Gala Concert in Brussels.

The idea was to produce an extended and themed piece, which can act as a half concert to feature a band's soloists.
