Cantus (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Wagner, Douglas E.

The starkness of a 12th-century plainsong begins Cantus. The pace quickens as the textures thicken and become increasingly complex. The conclusion finds a meditative chorale with echoes of the opening, symbolic of the cyclical quality of our own lives! The composition is a highly evolved statement for the young ensemble and a vital new work in this genre.Duration: 3:15

CANYONS (Novello Symphonic) - McCabe, John

Score & Parts. Canyons is a response to the imposing landscape of the American South West, an exploration of musical ideas. The piece falls into four main sections. Following a build-up in the brass and woodwind, there is a slowish first section with massive chords, percussive pounding and some contrapuntal development of the work's main thematic idea. This is followed by a brief scherzo and then a slow movement which again derives from chordal material and another contrapuntal development. The fourth section is an extended Allegro Vivace, dominated by a dance-like theme introduced by the trumpets and an important motif heard at the start by the brass and percussion. After the final climax, the Adagio epilogue leads the music to a quiet close, the solo piccolo restating the cornet figure heard at the opening of the work. (Grade 4.5) Duration: 15 mins. Recorded on QPRM127D GUILDHALL SYMPHONIC WIND ENSEMBLE

Canzona di Bacco (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Waespi, Oliver

This piece comprises a series of variations on the melody of Ami, dans cette vie (Friend, in this life), an 18th century French song. Like the famous poem Canzona di Bacco by Lorenzo de Medici, this song invites the listener to enjoy life, friendships, love and wine while there is still time to do so. The epicurean nature of this text contrasts with a deeply melancholic melody, a contradiction which is explored in the present work. After a somewhat turbulent first part, the original melody is revealed in a serene and pensive middle section which highlights several soloists. In the last movement, the atmosphere is transformed to become increasingly exuberant, like a Bacchus incantation. The piece concludes with a final dazzling statement of the original theme.Duration: 11.15
