Christmas In Da House

The composition was created for the Helston Town Band and features elements of House music, layering small elements of well known Christmas Carols as the textures slowly build up through repeated sections. The finale sections attempts to recreate a side chain effect, whilst the vibraphone at the end tries to simulate a delay effect on the final chord. You will hear parts of Jingle Bells, God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen, Hark the Herald Angels Sing, Joy to the World and Away in a Manger. This composition will definitely liven up your Christmas Concert.

Christmas in St Louis

This is a reworking of the carol by Lewis Redner, which is the American version of O Little Town of Bethlehem, as opposed to version most used in the United Kingdom, "Forest Green", a tune which was collected by Ralph Vaughan Williams. This solo allows a Bb player to take the lead with the original version being written for a cornet, but it could be played by flugel, euphonium, baritone or trombone. There are several episodes throughout the music which allow the soloist to demonstrate different skills across this very lyrical setting. View More

Marianne

Flugelhorn Feature

Written in 1974, Marianne is a beautifully lyrical flugelhorn ballad by Martin Bunce, now newly arranged by the composer for brass band. Originally written during a particularly romantic period in Bunce’s life, the piece was first performed on the BBC Two television programme In Concert by the National Youth Jazz Orchestra, with Martin himself featured as the flugelhorn soloist. A recording was subsequently released by RCA on 45rpm, and Marianne gradually became an established and much-loved part of the NYJO repertoire. It has since appeared on several of the orchestra’s recordings, including the four-CD collection The Very Best of NYJO. The melody has also found a home in the brass band world, notably through Maurice Murphy’s recording with the Leyland Band on The Lighter Side of Maurice Murphy. This new brass band arrangement places the flugelhorn’s distinctive warm and mellow tone firmly at the heart of the music, supported by sympathetic and accessible scoring throughout the band. Neither the solo part nor the accompaniment is excessively demanding, making Marianne an excellent choice for a wide range of bands and an ideal contrast item for concert programmes. Warm, expressive and immediately appealing, it offers the flugelhorn soloist an opportunity to shine while giving audiences a memorable melody to take away. A charming addition to any brass band library, Marianne is particularly well suited to concerts, solo features and lighter programmes. View More

Isle of Music

Three Manx Songs

This piece was written for the Friezland Band tour of the Isle of Man in 2025. It was performed as part of all three concerts the band gave in Douglas, Onchan and Castletown. It consists of three Manx traditional melodies which begins with a setting that incorporates driving energy into the song 'Arrane ny Niee', followed by the more plaintiff and reflective 'Arrane Oie Vie', before a lively finale of 'Hunt the Wren'. Duration c. 5 minutes View More

Aberystwyth

This arrangement is based on the famous Welsh hymn tune Aberystwyth by Joseph Parry. Composed in the late nineteenth century whilst Parry was Professor of Music at Aberystwyth University. The tune is a powerful example of the expressive style of Welsh chapel music. Most widely known today as the setting for Charles Wesley’s hymn “Jesus, Lover of My Soul,” the melody is notable for its haunting minor key, sweeping phrases and dramatic climax. These qualities translate naturally to the warm, resonant and warm timbre of the brass band. This setting seeks to capture both the solemn dignity and emotional depth of the original tune. Rich harmonic textures and the sonorous colours of the brass band highlight the melody’s expressive contours, building towards a broad and noble climax while preserving the reflective and haunting character of the hymn.

David of The White Rock

David of The White Rock or Dafydd y Garreg Wen is a haunting Welsh folk song that suits the melancholic, yet sonorous, timbre of the euphonium. It is said that as David Owen (1712–1741), a Welsh harpist and composer, whose family farm was called White Rock, lay on his death-bed, called for his harp and composed the tune. View More

Baking Day

Part of the series: 'What on Earth Evolved?' - in praise of Yeast

Baking Day is a fast, foot-tapping duet which will challenge your Euphonium and Eb bass players. It also features 'kitchen percussion' - the percussion section is invited to raid the kitchen for things that thud and clang, although parts for ordinary instruments are provided! There are opportunities for your percussion section to ad-lib in the middle section between E and F, to show off their capabilities. There are also places where banter between conductor and players can take place, making this a fun-filled entertainment piece that both shows off your duetists' talents and raises a smile. This work forms part of a series inspired by Christopher Lloyd's book 'What on earth Evolved?' which ranks the species that have had the biggest impact on the history of Earth and humankind. The series thus makes up a modern 'Carnival of the Animals'. Baking Day celebrates Yeast, a microscopic fungus which brings us bread, buns, wine, Marmite and even biofuel. View More
