    A Moorside March (Flexible Ensemble - Score and Parts) - Holst, Gustav - Brand, Michael

    Holst composed A Moorside Suite for Brass Band in 1928. It is in three movements, this March being preceded by a Scherzo and Nocturne. It is an extraordinary mature work for band from a master composer. There is very little fortissimo writing and there are no semiquavers at all. Instead, Holst has written clean melodic lines with each part being woven into a texture based on the modal lines of English folk music; but these represent its stylistic origin rather than using actual folk tunes as in Holst's earlier band writing. The March is stirring and flowing and is an ideal standalone piece to open or close any concert or festival programme. Duration: 4.15

    Capriccio (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Holst, Gustav - Boyd, John

    Holst composed this short, light-hearted but tuneful work in 1932, while on a visit to the USA, for Nathaniel Shilkret's concert jazz band. He was asked to use a folk tune but invented one of his own. The piece was not performed and remained in manuscript. This version for wind band was arranged by John Boyd with the approval of Imogen Holst. Duration: 5.00

    Illumination - Gene Milford

    In 1906, Ralph Vaughan Williams, editor of the English Hymnal, asked his friend and colleague, Gustav Holst, to write these hymns. This work combines the melodies in a richly-colored concert setting of fanfare, canon, chorale and processional. A noble Holst tribute!

    Hampshire March (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Holst, Gustav - Wagner, Douglas E.

    Based on the original opening of the original introduction for Second Suite in F for Military Band, Holst replaced this section with the now-familiar morris dance tune, "Glory Shears." The 38-measure passage (crossed out in the autograph score) draws upon the English folk song, "Young Reilly," and presents an alluring work in itself for younger players. Serious band literature for your developing band.Duration: 2:15

    Based on the lovely melody from the fourth movement of Holst's most performed work, Jupiter has been carefully prepared for your beginners concert at the end of their first year. Although scored to compliment the end of Band Expressions Book One, this classic work would work well with any beginning class on their concluding program. A worthy teaching and performance choice.

    In the Bleak Midwinter (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Holst, Gustav - Bullock, Jack

    The beautifully haunting sounds of this Holst classic appear first in the lower brass to launch this highly atmospheric scoring for concert band. Shifting tonalities and sonorities include a chorale section stating the melodic material with safe and traditional treatment. Technical demands are minimal, and even though the work is positioned for a young ensemble, it should not be overlooked by advancing groups in search of a quality arrangement. Duration: 2.45

    Dances From Morning Of The Year (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Holst, Gustav - Brand, Geoffrey

    Much of the thematic material for this lovely work by Holst is derived from the opening legato melodies provided by soli horns. The themes morph into several different dance feels throughout the remainder of the piece always keeping you guessing what will come next. Brand, Geoffrey has done a masterful job of adapting the score for the modern concert band.

    A Fugal Concerto (Flute, Oboe And Small Wind Band) (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Holst, Gustav - Brand, Geoffrey

    This work was originally written for flute, oboe (or two violins) and String Orchestra in 1923. This arrangement was premiered by the Stockholm Symphonic Winds in September 1993, conducted by the arranger. The style of A Fugal Concerto is very much neo-classical - all the rage at the time, although whether Holst had heard Stravinsky's examples is not known. In so far as the work is fugal, the adjective applies more to the texture than the form, although the second movement is canonic. The contrapuntal texture is not straightforward as phrases are displaced across barlines and cross rhythms are a feature. Nothing is allowed to settle until the folk tune is introduced toward the end. Yet, within this musical web, fascinating patterns and cross references reveal themselves.
