Prayer for Asia

"Prayer For Asia" is an original work for wind orchestra whose main theme was inspired by prayer. Simple and pure in its core, exponentially powerful harmonic and textural scoring make this work both music for the musician and soul food for a new generation of audiences here and abroad. The imagery of this musical entreaty tranquilly unfolds with a clarinet exposition that authentically captures the essence of an invocation that is adeptly passed to English Horn and masterfully developed via sectional highlighting, superlative percussion and a climax of elysian dimension. "Prayer For Asia" conveys reverence and paramount reflection that will, perhaps now more than ever, touch mature ensembles and audiences in a significant manner.

Predator (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Deleruyelle, Thierry

The Chase BeginsThe peace of a mountain village is shattered by a dreadful rumour: whether animal or something more disturbing, a creature is said to be prowling the area. After a quiet beginning, the music builds up with tense, nervous lines: fear sets in. The soundscape becomes fantastical, almost like a Halloween night.The villagers gather to hunt down the beast, with the orchestra conveying their determination through clear and energetic writing. The chase accelerates, breathless and spectacular, up to an uncertain outcome: the creature vanishes, without anyone having seen it. The initial chorale returns, calmer but not reassuring. The village regains its tranquillity, while retaining the memory of a mystery that has never been solved.Duration: 11.45

Prelude (from Suite Antique) (Flute Solo with Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Rutter, John - Noble, Paul

Suite Antique is a 1979 concertante work by John Rutter that is written for harpsichord, flute and string orchestra. Rutter composed the piece, in six movements, for a concert at which Bach's fifth Brandenburg concerto was to be performed, and so decided to write the piece for the same ensemble. This arrangement for Concert/Wind Band and Solo Flute adheres to the original presentation, but is expanded for a full band accompaniment to the solo flute. The harpsichord is optional, being cued elsewhere, but may be performed as in the original score by either harpsichord or an electronic keyboard with a similar setting. A jazz drumset is optionally included in the fourth (jazz waltz) movement, and other percussion discretely added in other movements. It is exciting to hear earlier musical forms brought into today's music appreciation, and this setting of a flute solo with band is especially refreshing for both soloist and band.
