10-piece
Duration 3.15
The English keyboard fantasia reached its peak of popularity in the late 16th and early 17th century. The music was normally based on a short musical extract that was embellished and developed. Often the music formed variations on the hexachord (a series of six notes which ascend step by step) in a polyphonic manner with a free and improvisatory nature. Ensemble fantasias gradually diminished in popularity up to around 1700, but their keyboard counterparts retained their importance. Arranger Elgar Howarth idiomatically transfers the original to the brilliant sonorities of modern brass instruments.

Henry Wood’s medley Fantasia on British Sea Songs was arranged in 1905 to mark the centenary of the Battle of Trafalgar. For many years it has been an indispensable item at the BBC’s Last Night of the Proms concert. Wood’s arrangement comprises nine parts, although this transcription has been somewhat truncated to make it more manageable for a brass band concert.
