The Cornet group (plus Flugel Horn) is the focal point of this arrangement, both musically and visually. The sound travels back and forth across the group in the continuous melodic line of which Bach was the ultimate master.
Written for Black Dyke's tour of Japan in 1990. Meiso ( which means contemplation) takes the unusual form of a duet for Eb. Horn and Bb. Baritone. The opening is based on two ideas : the upper brass depict the bells of the Shinto temple calling followers to gather for "meiso", and the lower brass play out a Shinto chant which was introduced to Peter Graham by a Japanese friend, Masaru Kawasaki. This work calls for long intertwined melodic lines from the soloists, covering the full instrumental range, while the band responds with soft, sustained and sympathetic playing throughout.
A short mp3 audio extract and an image of the Solo Part are provided here to give you a sample of this work.
