Triumphant Brass, as the title suggests is all about Cory Band's contest triumphs during their 125th anniversary year of 2009.  

On the Shoulders of Giants was the band's own-choice test-piece selection when they won the European Brass Band Championships in May. Titan's Progress was the test-piece when Cory triumphed at the British Open Brass Band Championship in September. From Ancient Times was the set test-piece at the European Brass Band Championships in May and although Brass Triumphant was written for the band's 125th anniversary concert and premiered at St David's Hall Cardiff in June, the beautiful third movement, Mist in the Afan Forest was included in the band's winning performance at the World Brass Band Championships in July.
