Celtic Concertino - Bruce Fraser

This little concerto for clarinet was written for Peter Holligan , a friend of its composer, and the Fife Youth Concert Band (Scotland). The work was based on traditional Celtic music, and consists of three movements. 1. Reel - a fast dance ending in an atmospheric but virtuoso cadenza. 2. Lament - a slow and melancholy song hinting at the sound of bagpipes. 3. A fast and virtuoso dance in 6/8 time with Irish influence. The work is a wonderful audience-pleaser and an absolute 'must' for all clarinet-players. The band too is called upon and by all means does have its part to play in the piece. Band grade 4, soloist grade 5. Dit Concertino voorklarinet werd geschreven voor Peter Holligan , een vriend van de componist, en de Fife Youth Concert Band (Schotland). Het werk is gebaseerd op de traditionele Keltische muziek, en bestaat uit drie delen. 1. Reel - een snelle dans die eindigt in een sfeervolle, maar virtuoze cadens. 2. Lament - een trage en melancholische melodie die het geluid van doedelzakken verbeeldt.3. Een snelle en virtuoze dans in 6 / 8 maatsoort met Ierse invloeden. Voor het publiek een heerlijk werk om naar te luisteren en een uitdaging voor de solist(e)! Het orkest ondersteunt deze om het tot een kleurrijk geheel te maken! Orkest graad 4, solo graad 5.

Celtic Crest - Christoph Walter

Celtic Dance - Douglas Court

You'll be "a-wearin' the green" with CELTIC DANCE by Douglas Court. The unmistakable "Galway Piper" opens the piece, and through artful variation, playfully comes a-visitin' now and again, while original thematic material leads us on a tour of a lovely emerald musical countryside. The energetic joy of Irish dance and the internationally appealing flavor of Irish folk music come together in CELTIC DANCE to form a jewel of young band literature. Court's unerring sense of young player's abilities makes this one a "pot o' gold"!

Celtic Dragon Fantasy - Kirby

A Scottish showpiece for every section of your band! A catchy little trumpet melody is tossed all around the band, accompanied by bustling woodwinds, the sounds of bagpipes, and wild drumming! This happy parade is momentarily interrupted by a bittersweet tune, featuring several band soloists. But the rudimental drums bring everyone back for a big Highland Finale! Hoots Mon!

Celtic Dream - Ivo Kouwenhoven

Celtic Dreams - Mike Forbes

Beginning with a haunting bell solo to set the mood, Celtic Dreams takes the listener on a musical journey through the British Isles. The piece is original but has all of the signature qualities of Celtic music, from drones and soaring folk-like melodies to the sounds of the Bodran in the percussion parts. A welcome addition to the young band repertoire.

Celtic Echoes - Larry Clark

This piece is built on original melodies that capture the essences of Celtic folk songs. This ballad is lush, richly scored and contains beautiful countermelodies. The expressive playing in this piece will provide contrast to the uptempo selections during a concert or festival performance.
