Canterbury Chorale - Jan Van der Roost

This quiet piece with its broad tones was originally written for brass band on request of Robert Leveugle, chairman of the composers own band: Brass Band Midden Brabant (Belgium). The direct cause was a visit to the beautiful cathedral of theEnglish city Canterbury, in which so many fine compositions sounded throughout the centuries. Later on, Jan Van der Roost rescored this piece for symphonic wind band, exploring the full richness of colours of this formation. Besides solo phrases forseveral instruments, there are some massive tutti passages making the wind orchestra sound like a majestic organ. By the way: an "ad libitum" organ part adds an extra richness, colour and power to this piece, making it sound even more broad andgrand.

Canticle of Celebration - Timothy Johnson

Jubiloso, maestoso, tranquillo, lyrico, dynamic detail, captivating rhythms, woodwind choir, brass choir and more! All the elements of a great grade 3 festival piece are here. Tutti sections contrast with subtle and delicate scoring as this melodic masterpiece weaves its magic around the beautiful hymn What Wondrous Love is This? Careful attention has been paid to cross cueing so that bands that are missing an instrument here or there can still do a credible interpretation. Memorable!
