The piece was composed in 2001 and premiered on March 16, 2002, by the Royal Symphonic Band of the Belgian Guides, conducted by Norbert Nozy. The composition consists of three movements, each representing a different color. The first movement, "Yellow", is characterized by its bright and energetic melody, which is played by the brass section. The movement also features a playful and rhythmic percussion section, which adds to the overall lively atmosphere of the piece. The second movement, "Blue", is more subdued and introspective. The melody is carried by the woodwind section, which creates a sense of melancholy and longing. The movement also features a haunting solo by the oboe, which adds to the emotional depth of the piece. The final movement, "Red", is the most intense and dramatic of the three. The movement begins with a powerful and driving rhythm, which is played by the percussion section. The melody is then taken up by the brass section, which creates a sense of urgency and excitement. The movement builds to a thrilling climax, which is characterized by its soaring melodies and thunderous percussion. Overall, 'Colors' is a dynamic and engaging composition that showcases Appermont's skill as a composer. The piece is notable for its use of color as a musical motif, which adds to the overall emotional impact of the piece.
