COMPOSED FOR BRASS BAND BY BEVERLY ANN STOLL In 1997, all of the students who were undertaking the BA Band Studies Course at Accrington & Rossendale College, were commission by the Slaidburn Band to compose a suitable piece of music to mark its centenary in 1998. As a result of the commission proposals, Beverly Ann Stoll, a third year student, wrote “A Slaidburn Festival overture]’ The work commences with a festival theme which portrays the thriving “Whit-Monday Festival.” This event has taken place in Slaidburn for over 100 years. It is one day in the year, when people travel back to the village of Slaidburn to join with friends and families and in particular, when past members of the band come back to play the famous march “Slaidburn” with the Slaidburn Band, in the village of Slaidburn!
As a tribute to William Rimmer and Joseph Hodgson, the overture briefly features the musical themes of the march “Slaidburn” and the unaffected poignant harmonies of the hymn tune “Burn Fell”.

Category: LIGHT CONCERT MUSIC Composer: Anton Dvorak Arranger: Philip Littlemore
Antonin Dvorak composed his first set of eight Slavonic Dances in 1878. Originally written for piano duet, the dances were inspired by Johannes Brahms’ Hungarian Dances, and were orchestrated soon after composition at his publisher’s request. The music is lively and overtly nationalistic, although the tunes themselves are all original and are not taken from any Slavic folk dances. It was indeed this first set of Slavonic Dances that finally launched Dvorak as a composer beyond his native Bohemia. Such were the popularity of the original dances, Dvorak wrote a second set of eight in 1886. Slavonic Dance No.1 is a highly spirited and cheerful furiant in 3/4 time, but is filled with cross-rhythms throughout that suggest duple time - an important feature of the dance

Although written in a 3/4 metre throughout, Dvorak creates cross-rhythms that shift this metre in to 2/4, which is an important characteristic of the furiant.
