COMMEMORATIONS (Programme Concert Band) - Ellerby, Martin

Commemorations was written during Martin Ellerby's tenure as Composer-in-Residence to the Regimental Band of Her Majesty's Coldstream Guards. The idea behind this particular commission was to write a work commemorating various events in the Regiment's history. The resulting work was an amalgam of such pieces written for specific occasions - hence the work can be performed as a whole or as individual movements. The movements are: Fanfare and Royal Procession; Hougoumont (March in Memoriam); Jacob the Goose (Scherzando Militaire); Elegy, 1944 (Anthem for a Regiment); Blue, Red, Blue (March in Celebration). Duration: 17:30. Recorded on Polyphonic Concert Band CD QPRM158D Legacy of Dreams.

Commencement (Concert Band - Score and Parts)

This dramatic overture is formally based upon the classic sonata-allegro form although the melodic and contrapuntal lines use contemporary resources and the harmony effectively uses fourth and fifth structures to exploit the tonal brilliance and unique sonorities of the concert band.
