£55.00Masque. - Kenneth Hesketh
A Masque (short for Masquerade) has been defined by Historians as 'A revel in which Mummers or masked folk come with torches blazing into the festive hall and call upon the company to dance and dice'. The chaos of this dramaticdance is depicted in this 'Masque' by Hesketh. The main theme is bravura and is often present, in the background. The form of the piece is a simple scherzo-trio-scherzo. Colourful scoring (upper wind solos, trumpet and horn solosalternating with full bodied tuttis) with a dash of wildness may tease both player and listener to let their hair down a little! 'Masque' has been transcribed for wind band by Kenneth Hesketh from his 'Scherzo forOrchestra',commissioned by the National Children's Orchestra in 1987.

Of Distant Memories - Edward Gregson
Parts only. Of Distant Memories pays homage to the brass band composers that form the backbone of the brass band repertoire and their music, and in the process summons up a kind of subconscious memory bank of the musicallanguages, styles and forms used by them. The music is conceived in the form of a 'traditional' tone poem, reflecting certain aspects (e.g. melodic, harmonic, textural)of those early test pieces. Although fairly traditionalconcepts have been kept in planning the architecture of the work, certain aspects of the instrumentation, or scoring, are more contemporary in colouristic terms, as befits a composer writing in the 21st century. However, thepercussion requirements are fairly modest, similar to those used in the works of that period. The brass band tradition owes much to the composers of that period, for through their music they established a truly homogenous'British' brass band sound which has spread throughout many parts of the world. That tradition flourishes today and remains important for today's composers, even if their musical language is far removed from that of theirpredecessors. Of Distant Memories is the composers own way of repaying that gratitude.

Toccata e Fantasia - Thomas Doss
Toccata e Fantasia was inspired by the composers' love of Anton Bruckner's fantastic wind instrument scoring in his symphonies. Within Toccata e Fantasia Thomas Doss has used several of Bruckner's motifs. In addition to these obvious references you will also find hints of Eastern music with the small motifs being repeated again and again in a sort of Indian guru's mantra, and an improvised blues section with a Big Band feel! A unique concert work that will thrill your audience.

£55.00The Sirens - Brass Band - LM984
COMPOSER: Chris AllenThe Sirens was written for the 2019 University of Birmingham Music Society Composition Competition, and performed for the first time by the University's Brass Band in November 2021. The piece aims to reflect the state of being mesmerized by the mythological singing enchantresses, which lure sailors to their deaths with their beautiful song. Inspired by the work of John McCabe,the music consists of many small sections, presenting similar material indifferent guises to produce a mosaic form. Also characteristic is the useof small-group scoring, cadenzas and colourful harmonies.A quiet opening featuring a flugel solo depicts a ship rocking unsteadily in sparse, choppy waters, before the introduction of mysterious tune in the basses. Following this, the mood shifts rapidly and frequently to represent the dual, dangerously attractive nature of the sirens.The piece is launched towards its conclusion from letter K as the tempo picks up and the musical gestures become more aggressive, climaxing at letter Nwith a brillante triple-tongued closing passage.Chris Allen, December 2021
