Prelude on 'Lavenham' (Concert Band - Score only) - Nobes, Geoffrey

Prelude on 'Lavenham' was written for the 130th anniversary, in 2014, of Lavenham Corps in Suffolk and was first performed at their anniversary concert in the village's beautiful Parish Church by Kettering Citadel Band. It's an arrangement of a tune the composer wrote to the words, 'Lord, there are times', a lovely hymn by the Reverend Nick Fawcett. The arrangement is dedicated to the memory of Bandmaster Derek Wilding of Lavenham Corps.The music is serene and free-flowing and was written with the rich and warm acoustics of the lovely medieval church very much in mind. It should be played cantabile throughout, with close attention to contrasts in dynamics.
