Bethlehem Down (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Warlock, Peter - Lane & Noble

There are few instrumental pieces amongst the works of Peter Warlock who wrote chiefly vocal items. Several of his carols have become firmly established in the seasonal repertoire of singers and choirs; none moreso than Bethlehem Down. The string version by Philip Lane stretches the original four verses to five and seeks to make the piece as effective for strings as it is for choirs. No harmonic changes have been made although the voicing has naturally been varied for textural reasons. This adaptation by Paul Noble has added to the variance in instrumental textures to fully realize the tonal colours of the Concert Band. With key signatures of F/d minor, Bb/g minor, Eb/c minor, and Ab/f minor, numerous suspensions, and softer to louder dynamics, this chorale is a perfect warm-up and tune-up piece for the ensemble, while at the same time exploring worthwhile and programmable concert repertoire.

Between Earth and Sky (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Oare, Michael

Myths and legends of dragons have stirred our imaginations down through the ages. Between Earth and Sky is a programmatic work opening with mystical strains and haunting melodies. The pace quickens as our beast takes flight and soars over the countryside; musically propelled by a driving 3/4 pulse and powerful thematic statements. All beautifully paced with variations in textures and dynamics, this is an effective and appealing work for young players.

Between the Two Rivers (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Sparke, Philip

Between the Two Rivers was commissioned by Fanfare Prins Hendrik, from Aalst in the Netherlands. The title derives from the fact that the town of Aalst lies between two tributaries of the River Dommel. The community is a highly religious one, so the famous Luther chorale, Ein' Feste Burg, was an obvious choice for Philip Sparke to use as the theme for this new work. It takes the form of a theme with four contrasting variations. Variation 1 is a moto perpetuo, variation 2 has a slower march like feel, variation 3 is a sinister slow movement and the final variation is in the form of a lyrical fugue. Between The Two Rivers is sure to become a major work in modern concert band repertoire.Duration: 14:15
