Spangled Unicorn
''Spangled Unicorn'' is a composition for brass ensemble by the British-born composer Anna Clyne. The work was commissioned by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, for which Clyne was then composer-in-residence. It was first performed on March 21, 2011 at Symphony Center, Chicago by the brass section of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra.
==Composition==
Clyne was inspired to write the piece by the "powerhouse" brass section of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. She later described the experience as "an opportunity to take a stab at writing for such an ensemble for the first time."〔
The title of the work comes from the book ''Spangled Unicorn'' by the poet Noël Coward, which Clyne spotted while shopping at a Chicago bookstore. Clyne wrote in the score program notes, "I scooped it up, but alas, none of the poems made even the slightest of references to a unicorn of a spangly nature. So, I instead turned to the young writers Helena McBurney (age 11) and Charlotte McBurney (age 9) who created their very own stories about this magical beast. I then spliced their two stories and reassembled them to form one story..." A tape of the girls reading this story can be played as an optional accompaniment to the piece.〔
