The Red Shield - Score and Parts - Henry Goffin
Program NotesPossibly one of The Salvation Army's most popular marches, both as a street march and a concert item, The Red Shield was written to acknowledge The Salvation Army's work with Her Majesty's Armed Forces. Red Shield Clubs have for many years been an integral part of service life, both in the UK and abroad.This is a superbly crafted march that contains all the essential ingredients one expects from the genre. Although the thematic material will be largely unfamiliar, it has real energy and character and will surely prove to be as popular in this wind band version as it continues to be in its original band form.

£44.55Freedom Forever
Dedicated to the "citizen soldiers" of our country, the men and women of the National Guard and Armed Forces Reserves. Featuring a contemporary style that balances the percussive and energetic aspects of a march with a contrasting lyrical style, this stately march is propelled by an active snare drum part and the use of dotted-eighth-note/sixteenth-note rhythms in the melody. Very unique and distinctive!

The fanfare then provides the primary melodic material of the piece. Stunning! Duration: 2.45

£204.00The Light of Resistance - Franco Cesarini
Franco Cesarini was commissioned to write The Light of Resistance by the Filarmonica di Villadossola APS (Piedmont, Italy) for its 125th anniversary. The Villadossola revolt was an uprising that took place in November 1943 in the homonymous municipality during World War II. The partisans, with the support of local workers, managed to temporarily liberate the town from nazi-fascist forces. It was one of the first acts of armed resistance against the German occupation in Italy but was harshly repressed by nazi-fascist troops who regained control of the territory. Although it was suppressed, the uprising remained a symbol of courage and determination.The slow introduction of the composition creates an atmosphere of latent tension, which gradually intensifies until it explodes in a rapid movement, symbolizing the struggle. Two contrasting musical themes collide, embodying the conflict between opposing forces. In the central section, a prayer rises delicately, then evolves into a heroic parade celebrating the temporary triumph of the revolt. However, this victory is fleeting; dissonant harmonies interrupt the scene, representing the brutal repression of the insurrection. In the finale, the heroic theme reemerges, evoking sacrifice as a spark of unshakeable hope. A moment of contemplation closes the composition, honouring the lives broken and reaffirming hope for a future of peace and regained freedom.The premiere of The Light of Resistance took place on 30th March, 2025 in Villadossola, performed by the Filarmonica di Villadossola, Franco Cesarini conductor.
