Score and Parts. A Concert overture, inspired by both the stress and vibrancy of twenty-first century life. The harsh and dissonant opening passage is contrasted by a mellow second subject theme in the saxophones. The percussion come to the fore in the middle section, and, at the close of the work then harmonic tension reaches an exhilarating breaking point before resolving on the tonal centre of A. (Grade 6) Performance time 8’ 14’’ Recorded on Polyphonic QPRM151D TIME LINES

Parts only. Score sold separately. This is not a straight forward concerto, but rather a symphonic drama for violin and ensemble. It uses the soloist as both protagonist and ensemble player, much as Berlioz treated the viola in his symhony 'Harold in Italy'. Black Fire is written in one movement though it has three clear sections (slow, fast and slow). The music reflects the various shades of darkness and suffering that dominate the atmosphere of the early part of the poem. The violinist takes the role of Satan, reflecting his moods, from righteous indignation to sorrowful remorse. A motif from Wagner's opera 'Gotterdaemmerung' (Twilight of the Gods) is used throughout the work to represent Satan's brooding hatred. At the end of the work you will find Satan in the form of the solo violin heroically travelling towards Paradise to corrupt 'Mankind'. Duration: 26:00

The main idea of the Allegro is an energetic theme for full band which is interspersed with contrasting sections of the band. Eventually the opening fanfare returns but is interrupted by a short, but lively, coda. Recorded on Polyphonic QPRM151D TIME LINES (Great British Music for Wind Band Vol.12)

Parts only. The opening ‘Carousel’ takes a leaf out of the American minimalist composers’ book and is energetic and resourceful throughout, conjuring up images of a fairground ride that is not too much of an intrepid adventure! The central ‘Cameo’ presents and re-presents a delicate, highly legato, melisma for the soloist. A somewhat brooding central episode provides both a moment of contrast and the opportunity for the soloist to deliver some free cadenza-type material before returning to the security of the opening calm. The closing ‘Charabanc’ is a freely developed rondo-style finale embracing influences from jazz and other light music forms. Listeners are encouraged to use their own imagination, as it is intended to be whatever you want it to be! Performance time 15’16” (This work was commissioned by and is dedicated to Linda Merrick and is featured on the recording QPRM137D LINDA MERRICK, Linda Merrick and the RNCM Wind Orchestra)

Score and Parts. Phase 1 (Mystery) – the fascination of nuclear power; the strangeness of its invisible radiation and enormous unleashed energy which may be beneficial to the human race, but which can also cause violence of colossal magnitude. Phase 2 (Imaginations) – Anxiety begins and nervous doubts increase as thoughts intrude of what might happen if things went wrong: warfare, mechanical failure, uncontrolled fission, explosion, melt-down, firestorms, fallout, burns, contamination, disease, mutation, the desolation of a nuclear winter. Phase 3 (Reality) – Time is ticking on. We accept the benefits of nuclear power, tinged with unease and incomprehension. The piece ends with doubt and uncertainty – only time will tell if we are right or wrong. Performance time 16’56” (Recorded on QPRM115D GREAT BRITISH MUSIC FOR WIND BAND, Western Band of the Royal Air Force)

Score and Parts. Of all dragon species, the habits of the ice dragon, hidden away in its mountain fastness, are the least known. Spending most of their lives deep below ground in vast caverns they venture abroad very rarely. Fiercely territorial, encounters with others of their kind precipitate conflict, both immediate and violent. Those few people who have witnessed such encounters, and survived them, liken them to a kind of frenetic dance, hence the title of the piece. Heavily armed, intelligent creatures, the contests are highly ritualised. The frantic pace and intensity of the encounters mean they tend to be brief, ending with one, or often both beasts, crashing into the mountain side, causing a huge avalanche that invariably marks the end of the encounter.

Parts only. Score available separately. These two works may be performed individually or, as published, together. Fanfare to Planet Earth - the Fanfare opens dramatically with heraldic trumpets answered by sforzando strikes on deep percussion. The Fanfare embraces the splendour and grandeur of our planet Earth, molto grandioso, and culminates in a chordal cluster – a blaze of brass and percussion in G major, describing feelings of optimism at the start of the 21st century. Performance time 1’50”. Millennium March – constructed along classical lines, the theme of Millennium March is catchy and not without humour. Its recurring motif on trumpets, con brio, develops the opening bars of the Fanfare. The March gathers momentum through several dramatic key-changes and ends with a surprise flourish of chromaticism, marked Tempo Apocalyptic. Cannons and fireworks are optional!

Parts only. Score available separately. A symphonic portrait, in one continuous movement, in honour of the Grenadier Guards’ great history. Though the work is, in the main, optimistic, the central section portrays the recent military operations undertaken by the regiment. Fields of Remembrance is based on one of the most important pieces of music associated with the Grenadier Guards, the regimental slow march The Grenadier’s Return, which is performed at memorial and funeral services of Grenadier Guardsmen. It is also performed when the regiment returns to camp or quarters after tours of duty, at ceremonial occasions such as the Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace, Windsor or St. James’ Palace and, perhaps most famously, by the Brigade of guards at the Queen’s birthday parade “Trooping the Colour”.

Score and Parts. This concert march emulates the type of march – overture which you might encounter in an epic war movie, and is, therefore, cinematic in style.

The title of this march is a small contribution, from the composer, to keeping their memory alive.

Score and Parts. This work takes inspiration from photos taken at the Karman Line (an invisible line 100 kilometres above sea level and is the boundary where the atmosphere of Earth ends, and outer space begins). It portrays the vastness of Space, the mechanics of Space (including shuttles and astronauts), as well as stunning views of the Earth. The main thematic material for the piece is modal, and is developed from key pitches and intervals that define the character and nature of the mixolydian mode. These are gradually introducted as accented notes over the opening ostinato. This modal music is gradually juxtaposed with a more conventional minor scale originally creating conflict and tension, but eventually harmony between these two sound-worlds. Duration: 6'24 Recorded on Polyphonic QPRM 155D Schenes from Childhood.

Score and Parts. Commissioned by Kenneth Bell, principal flute of the Central Band of the Royal Air Force, this delightful work is challenging but approachable and the perfect vehicle for your star flautist! (Grade 5) Performance time 13’31”. “Good flautists will find this a good piece to add to their repertoires, as it presents different challenges to the standard solo fare. The solo line is particularly well set against the band as it rarely travels to the lower register of the flute. The work opens with an extended section of lyricism followed by skittish dance. The central '‘andante con moto'’ is particularly delicate before the final section heads off and ends in a thoroughly unexpected conclusion!” Winds Magazine (Recorded on QPRM129D VENETIAN SPELLS, Central Band of the Royal Air Force)
