New Release: Anchor For The Soul - Cornet & Euphonium Duet
£25.50
Commissioned by The City of Hull Band for their 2019 Brass In Concert programme, this evocative cornet and euphonium duet pays tribute to the trawlermen who lost their lives in three tragedies that took place in early 1968. The work comprises of two seafaring hymns, "Eternal Father Strong to Save" and "Nearer My God to Thee", using the tunes they are most commonly sung to in the 21st. The title of the work was inspired by the Hull seaman's mission, who in their literature describe themselves as an 'anchor for the soul' of the Humber shipping crews and their families.
In RemembranceIt was while looking out upon the twelve-thousand graves at the Tyne Cot memorial, of which over eight-thousand commemorate the lives of unknown soldiers, that the composer felt compelled to compose a piece which encapsulated the feeling of bothpeaceful serenity and great loss that one has when visiting such a place. Throughout the work, images of the 'Last Post' are heard in the distance, as the music reflects upon the catastrophic events which took place in Europe and around the world during the first part of the twentieth-century. Under this hauntingly familiar melody, a simple hymn-like chorale plays and is soon heard overlapped with the opening material in an attempt to unite the feeling of calm and of pain that a place of great remembrance such as Tyne Cot invokes within us all. *note – the opening Marimba part can be substituted for Xylophone/Vibraphone to create a sustained soundView More
Theme SongFirst broadcast in 1988, the popular BBC programme airs weekly visiting various locations reporting on rural, agricultural, and environmental issues in the United Kingdom. With millions of viewers around the world (as far as New Zealand), the Coutryfile Calendar remains one of the highlights of the year with sales from the calendar raising millions of pounds for BBC Children In Need. This driving theme tune from composer David Lowe is an audience friendly work that that will be recognised across the country by listeners and players alike. View More
Euphonium SoloThis new lyrical work gives the soloist a chance to showcase their slow melody playing in a great new original piece for Brass Band. Focussing on the phrasing and shaping of the melody lines, the soloist can perform the music that encapsulates the listener and draws them into their performance. Composed in 3/4 time throughout, delicate accompanying parts are also important in building the overall picture the music is trying to convey. A fantastic new addition to any soloist’s repertoire and one that is a pleasure to perform.View More
BrassFestUK 2019Two years after the inaugural BrassFestUK event comes the anthem for 2019, 'The Essence of Brass'. Composer Gavin Somerset has revisited many of the ideas contained within the very popular work written for the inaugural BrassFestUK, The Spirit of Brass two years ago, to deliver once again, an uplifting original work for Brass Bands that will keep both players and audiences entertained. The piece opens with the work’s heroic theme which has a genuine feel-good factor throughout, making this year’s anthem a sure hit with all bands once again. NB. A Youth Band version is also available which works as a standalone item or alongside the senior band edition. View More
Eb Bass SoloPossibly the most well-known Mozart work of all time is now available as a fun Eb Bass Solo. With tongue-in-cheek accompaniment, this new tuba solo gives the soloist plenty to do in this fast paced concert showcase. Composed in 1787, this is the first movement from the popular Serenade, more often referred to in English as, A Little Night Music. This is a perfect solo item which wouldn't be out of place on either the bandstand or concert hall.View More
Bass Trom/Eb Bass SoloOriginally sang by Robin Williams in the 1992 animated film Aladdin, Friend Like Me is high octane fun for all the band to play as well as the soloist. This highly entertaining work will get feet tapping as the organised chaos of the music flows around the soloist throughout the duration of the piece. The arrangement stays faithful to the original and with Disney’s re-release of Aladdin coming next month with Will Smith in the starring Genie roll, this new fun filled solo is the perfect solo choice for all bands this year.View More
Cornet TrioThis new take on the much loved children’s Nursery Rhyme is a great way to showcase your band’s cornet players with a playful, yet in parts, challenging cornet trio. Nobody knows for certain to whom the song refers, however several candidates include Prince Frederick (Duke of York and Albany), Richard (Duke of York) and James II (formerly the Duke of York). Suitable for either the bandstand or concert hall, this is a great entertainment item that spans the generations whilst giving the soloists a chance to shine. View More
Trombone SoloThis novelty song is known worldwide following multiple recordings by Billy Jones, Billy Murray, Arthur Hall, Irving Kaufman, and others. Benny Goodman and his Orchestra also recorded the work which has helped keep up the songs popularity since its initial release in 1923. Writer Frank Silver may have been influenced by an actual shortage of Gros Michel bananas in the early 20th century. Now arranged as a trombone solo, this arrangement has two parts; the first being accessible to most soloists with an optional continued section, which is more intricate for more advanced soloists to enjoy. A great audience pleaser and repertoire item.View More
