Programme notes
Slate, Sea and Skyfeatures a musical landscape and journey in three integrated and continuous sections, led by the cornet soloist alongside ensembles broadly representing the title's elements: ‘slate’ (flugelhorn, tenor horns and trombones); ‘sea’ (baritones, euphoniums and basses) and ‘sky’ (comets). These alternate throughout with the full band, travelling towards
and through a storm, and emerging into bright skies at the end.
The title Slate, Sea and Sky is inspired by Norman Bissell's evocative poem of the same name, found in a book of poetry given to me by a close friend, to whom the work is dedicated.

Martin Ellerby writes : The work is intended to be a bright, optimistic and lyrical concerto, accessible to players and audiences alike and completes my set of five concertos designed for key chairs of a brass band : in order of writing - Tuba ( Eb Bass ) Euphonium Tenor Horn Trombone Cornet.
The work falls into three contrasting movements :
01. BRILLANTE - A traditional sonata form is adopted and adapted, the two subjects being firstly a lively fanfare type figure followed by a second cantabile theme. These ideas are worked out until eventually a cadenza section is reached which is followed by a coda which, though concluding is light in dynamics.
02. ARIETTA - The emphasis is placed on legato phrases and an overall singing quality from both soloist and accompanist who share the material in lyrical partnership.
03. RONDINO - Another traditional form, rondo, is employed for the finale and here attention is turned to rhythm with contrasting changes of metre creating a restless journey towards a dynamic, and this time certain conclusion.

Five classic trumpet tunes for those special occasions. Dedicated to John Gracie
Includes :
01. The Prince of Denmark's March by Jeremiah Clarke 02. Cebel by Henry Purcell 03. Rondeau by Marc-Antoine Charpentier 04. Trumpet Tune by Jeremiah Clarke 05. Trumpet Voluntary by John Stanley
During the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries, trumpet tunes-pieces based on the notes of the natural harmonic series (the notes available to the valveless trumpet)-were highly popular. The origins of the genre can be traced to France, where Jean-Baptiste Lully included movement of this type in several of his operas. Trumpet tunes abound in sources of London theatre music , and while on occasions they would of been performed on trumpet, they were also routinely played by other instrumental groups.During the eighteenth century numerous trumpet voluntaries for organ, based on the notes available on the trumpet, were composed in England.
The Prince of Denmark’s March by Jeremiah Clarke, which was long attributed to Henry Purcell, was included in a collection of harpsichord pieces published in 1700. An earlier version for trumpets, oboes, bassoon and strings appeared in the ‘Suite de Clarke’.
Henry Purcell’s Cibell, in the form of a gavotte, was based loosely on a chorus praising the goddess Cybele from Lully’s opera Atys (1676). The piece exists in several versions, one of which, dating from shortly after Purcell’s death, is scored for trumpet and strings.
Marc-Antoine Charpentier’s Rondeau serves as a rousing prelude to his Te Deum in D and is by far his best known work. Uncertainty surrounds the identification of the composer of the Trumpet Tune attributed here to Jeremiah Clarke. As with The Prince of Denmark’s March, this was previously attributed to Purcell. It is found in manuscript scores of the semi-opera The Island Princess (1699), on which Clarke collaborated with Daniel Purcell, Henry’s younger brother, and Richard Leveridge.
The Trumpet Voluntary by John Stanley is the only piece in this collection that we can be fairly certain was not written with performance on the trumpet in mind. It derives from the composer’s second collection of ten voluntaries for organ or harpsichord, published in 1751.
