Pie Jesu is the famous aria for soprano and orchestra from Gabriel Fauré’s Requiem, opus 48. Fauré (1845- 1924) composed the work in 1887, two years after his father’s death and only a short time before his mother passed away. Fauré’s Pie Jesu is richly atmosphere and peaceful, and Robert van Beringen perfectly captures the essence of Fauré’s beautiful music in this arrangement for brass band.

John Rutter's music is known across the world for its simplicity and memorable melodies. The 'Pie Jesu' from his requiem is certainly no exception. First performed in Dallas, Texas in 1985, the 6 movements completed Rutter's setting of the Roman Catholic Mass. The third movement (the 'Pie Jesu') is typical of the composer, featuring a strong melody line with subtle accompaniments. Now arranged for Solo Cornet by Adam Rutter, this slow melody allows the soloist to shine in one of the finest and most famous settings of the work to date. A great addition to any concert & soloists repertoire.

Salvation Army suite
Attempting to recreate the atmosphere of mediaeval pilgrims, this suite comprises three separate, yet linked movements. I. Based on John Bunyan's poem 'He Who Would Valiant Be', the music reminds us of the words 'No foes shall stay his might, though he with giants fight, he will make good his right to be a pilgrim'. II. A transcription of the composer's own setting of 'God be in my head'. III. The original themes in this movement express feelings of joy and excitement of present day pilgrims journeying on the Christian path.

1. Pines of the Villa Borghese; 2. Pines Near A Catacombe; 3. Pines ofthe Gianicolo; 4. Pines of the Appian Way
Howard Snell writes: Pines of the Villa Borghese - Children are at play in the pine groves of Villa Borghese; they dance round in circles. They play at soldiers, marching and fighting, they are wrought up by their own cries like swallows at evening, they come and go in swarms.
The Pines close to a Catacomb - Suddenly the scene changes -- we see the shades of the pine trees fringing the entrance to a catacomb. From the depth rises the sound of a mournful chant, floating through the air like a solemn hymn, and gradually and mysteriously dispersing.
The Pines of the Gianicolo. There is a thrill in the air: the pine-trees of the Janiculum stand distinctly outlined in the clear light of the full moon. A nightingale is singing.
Pines of the Appian Way - Misty dawn on the Appian Way: solitary pine trees guarding the magic landscape; the muffled, ceaseless rhythm of unending footsteps. Trumpets sound and, in the brilliance of the newly-risen sun, a consular army bursts forth towards the Sacred Way, mounting in triumph to the Capitol.
This version is still in manuscript but because it is so much in demand all over the brass world we felt it better to hold its place in the main catalogue.

Ottorino Respighi( 1879 - 1936) was a composer of flamboyant orchestral scores much copied by Hollywood. A master of orchestration he employed virtually every musical device known at the time in his rich tone pictures. His inspirations came from many sources and in Pines of Rome (written in 1924) he evokes atmospheres created by the great avenues of pine trees found in various places around the Eternal city. In this final movement Respighi transports us back to the days of ancient Rome. It is dawn and in the distance we hear the tramping feet of a battalion of Roman soldiers returning from a triumphant campaign, and as they draw closer they lift their enormous carved trumpets (buccini) in a blazing victorious fanfare.

This new version published in September 2015 includes :
1. The Pines of the Villa Borghese 2. March - The Pines of the Appian Way.
Foreword
Ottorino Respighi composed his Pines of Rome (Pini di Roma) in 1924 as the second part of a Roman trilogy. Fountains of Rome preceded it and Roman Festivals followed it. A complete version of Roman Festivals is also available in an arrangement l made for a commission by the National Youth Band of Great Britain. This edition consists of two movements of Pines of Rome, the 1st and 4th. The complete Pines of Rome scored for Brass Band is also available.
Each of the four movements is based in four different Roman landscapes in Rome where pine trees dominate the landscape.
The 1st Movement, Pines of the Villa Borghese, draws a vivid, brilliant picture of children playing their games under pine trees, lively and noisy in the sunshine. The 4th Movement, Pines of the Appian Way, offers the starkest possible contrast, of a misty Appian Way in the early morning, the military road leading into Rome from the South. Among the Pines that shelter the road we see the Roman Army marching towards Rome, its leader assured of "A Triumph," that ultimate accolade awarded only 300 times or so, as far as is known, during the Roman Empire of more than 1,000 years. As the sun rises we see the heroes in all their splendour as they march with blaring brass (buccine), in full ceremonial purple and gold, to be received on the Capitoline Hill by the Senate and the people of Rome.
This arrangement of Pines of Rome has been recorded by the Britannia Building Society Band (Foden’s Band) conducted by Howard Snell for Doyen Recordings.
Now including both the composer’s organ part and the arranger’s original seating plan for which the arrangement was conceived, this version has been revised in 2015. Both the organ part and the seating plan are optional. The arrangement can also be performed with reduced percussion at the discretion of the conductor.
