Description
SKU: WO.0160SC
Composed by Philip Wilby. Major work for brass band. Serious Concert. Full Score. With Standard Notation. Duration 12:00. Winwood Music #0160SC. Published by Winwood Music (WO.0160SC).The sound and culture of brass bands was part of Philip Wilby’s childhood, and this short Partita seeks to commemorate his childish memories in the musical terms of today’s currency. Although the music makes technical demands on the players the piece is, nevertheless designed to involve rather than impress its audiences. There are four movements:‘Towers and Chimneys’ which is both heraldic and mysterious; ‘Churches: Lord of the Dance’ is an arrangement of the famous shaker melody made popular in Martin Shaw’s hymn of Jesus’ life and history; ‘Pastorale: Sunday Afternoon recalls those long and languorous days before television, and ‘Coronation Day Parade’ – a community celebration with a brass band at its centre.
