£79.50Convergence - Roland Barrett
Explosive fanfares and woodwind flourishes set the pace for this high-energy work that celebrates the boundless spirit created by the convergence of cultures, beliefs, and ideals. The main theme is first stated by piccolo before reiterated by full ensemble. Oboe or English horn is showcased in the lyrical section that features intimate chamber playing and sweeping melodic lines. As the final section builds, the opening fanfare returns under a fierce woodwind ostinato. Outstanding!

This elaborate and colourful orchestral version has never been widely performed, but has now been brilliantly transcribed by Alastair Wheeler to provide a miniature dance poem for grade 5 level concert band. Bridge's lively treatment of one of England's most famous traditional dance melodies will make a fitting end to any concert, with the strains of introduced by Bridge as a nod towards Sir Roger de Coverley's traditional function as the final dance of a Christmas Ball, as it was in Old Mr. Fezziwig's party in Dickens' .
