Karl Jenkins was inspired by the sixteenth century Italian architect Andrea Palladio, whose work embodies the renaissance celebration of harmony and order. Two of Palladio’s hallmarks are mathematical harmony and architectural elements borrowed from classical antiquity, a philosophy which reflects Karl Jenkins’ attitude to composition.

PALLADIO was originally written for string orchestra and it is in three movements :-
1. Allegretto
2. Largo
3. Vivace.

The Allegretto was adapted by Karl Jenkins and used in television commercials for DeBeers Diamonds in a worldwide campaign. It has since become very popular and is feature of many concerts and best-selling albums.

This arrangement by Tony Small was written for Penclawdd Brass Band’s 25th Anniversary Concert, held at the Brangwyn Hall, Swansea in April, 1998. It was conducted by the Band’s President - the composer Karl Jenkins.
