Beach Party - John Glenesk Mortimer

Beach Spring

Originating from The Sacred Harp songbook, the folk-like pentatonic melody of Beach Spring has inspired numerous hymns since 1844. Now expertly arranged for beginning band, this setting captures the song's timeless spirit. It is the perfect vehicle for students to gain experience performing beautiful music in 3/4 meter, with varied musical textures, dynamics, and articulations. (2:00)

Beating Beats - Jan Van der Roost

Beating Beats rhythmically is a rather special piece: more conventional metres are manipulated in such a way that the listener (without score) may be confused and even misled at various points! The 'regular four beat accents in a 4/4 measure for example are often not adhered to, giving the impression of a different metre altogether. However, at the same time it may be that some instruments do follow this "normal" 4/4 metre, thus confusing everyone - performers and listeners alike! On one hand, it is a "simple" piece with very playable and melodic themes, but their mysterious rhythmic makes it not only sound more complicated, but also makes for a greater challenge for both players and the conductor! As is mostly the case with Jan Van der Roost's works, the orchestration is both colourful and contrasting, with every section of the modern wind orchestra used equally. All in all, it's a work full of surprises with some unexpected harmonies and special melodic lines but above all, with metrical and rhythmical sure to catch you unawares!
