The brass music of Wilfred Heaton has always been forward looking, and it was not really until the 1970's that the band world was ready to accept his exciting and uncompromising language. His earlier pieces are now being re-discovered, and the true genius evaluated. Toccata was first conceived as a brass sextet in the 1940's and later adapted for full band. It is full of wit and humour of Rossini, and is really a showcase for brass - the absence of percussion being an express intention f the composer. The work is based on the Salvationist hymn " Oh the Blessed Lord" which is in turn adapted from J. Bland's "Oh dem Golden Slippers". duration 6.16

Exceptionally useful! This collection of 24 etudes is specifically designed to help develop good individual and ensemble tone production and intonation. Citing tone production as one of the most important facets of good playing, Jim Curnow starts beginning players with material they have learned in their beginning method books, and then moves on to new and more advanced concepts. A great aid for your program!

Starting with a Scottish style dance, this piece explores the versatility of the Brass Band. From Scherzo to Swing, this piece has them all, an "audience pleaser" and one for the entire band to stay alert in, and the conductor to add their own interpretations, The percussion section also has a busy part to play (although the Timpani & Xylo/Glock parts can be omitted). An ideal concert item for all concerned.

All performers love a showpiece, and if there isn't one available, they write their own. American born Louis Moreau Gottschalk was a child prodigy and became famous for writing and performing his own piano compositions. Now it's the turn of your band to show off to the crowds with a performance of the 'Tournament Gallop'. Arranged by Adam Rutter, the piece is largely marked 'Presto', though in reality, the idea was that Gottschalk would perform the work as fast as humanly possible! A purely entertainment special and one audiences will love.
