Partita for Band
Postcards from Home
Like many composers writing for brass band today, the sound and culture of banding is part of my childhood, and this short Partita seeks to commemorate those childish memories in the musical terms of today’s currency. Although the music makes the real technical demands on the players (as required by brass band test-pieces), the composition is nevertheless designed to involve rather than impress its audiences,


There are four movements:
01. Towers and Chimneys
Two pieces of contrasting music, one heraldic and one mysterious.

02. Churches: Lord of the Dance
An arrangement of the famous melody made popular in Martin Shaw’s hymn of Jesus’ life and ministry.

03. Pastorale: Sunday Afternoon
The afternoons of childhood, which seemed so long and langorous, in the days before television.

04. Coronation Day Parade
A community celebration with a brass band at the centre of the procession, and leading to a reprise of the opening fanfare music
from the first movement.
