Bach-analia
By Martin Lass
Regular price
$60.00
For mixed ensemble c.5'40. Suitable for intermediate to advanced ensembles
Violin, cello, oboe, piano or harpsichord and flexible string ensemble.
The play on words in the title of this piece has the piece beginning with a homage to J. S. Bach, clearly derived from his C minor Prelude BWV 847. From there, the music drifts inexorably into something much more free and increasingly ecstatic, as though, through intoxication with music, the players have entered a time warp to the modern day. As the ecstasy subsides, we are back in Bach's time, but the lure of modern music cannot be resisted, and we find ourselves in a second round of ecstasy.
Composed 2003

Ballad of the Canterbury Pilgrims, The
By Diana Blom
Regular price
$30.00
Geoffrey Chaucer's classic set of stories, The Canterbury Tales is rich with characters from a range of England's social classes, each making a pilgrimage to Canterbury Cathedral to visit the shrine of Saint Tomas Becket. These characters allow solos, duets and trios with the piano supporting each character's personality and plays with a descending eight bell peal of Canterbury Cathedral. A ballad structure, the song focuses on five pilgrims - the knight, his squire, the nun, the cook and a good wife. The language is a mixture of Middle English and Modern English. Composed 2015

Balmoral Beach Rag (cornet)

Cornet and piano, c.5'0. Grade 7
The Rag is descriptive and performer and listener will not find it difficult to relate the chromatic scales, the grace notes, the running and walking music, to the ever-new shock of entering the cold water; the warmth of the sand underfoot and the droplets of water gleaming on the ocean or on arms and legs of people at the beach.
