Taking inspiration from the lakes of northern New York state, as well as Niagara Falls, Falling Water is composed in the form of a fantasia, featuring multiple sections of varied textures, restless tonality, and dramatic energy. Breaking free from some of the usual conventions of traditional concert band writing, this work is fresh sounding and a welcome addition to the repertoire for young bands. Duration: 4:45.

'Still Falls the Rain' is perhaps Edith Sitwell's greatest poem. Maconchy set the poem for double choir, unaccompanied, with some antiphonal writing. The recurrence of the phrase 'still falls the rain' throughout the poem is echoed in the music and helps to give shape and coherence to it. After the impassioned and tragic character of the main part of the poem, it ends on a calmer, even hopeful note (the Dawn after the Night raids perhaps). It was commissioned by the Chelmsford Festival and first performed there on 22 May 1985 by the BBC singers, conducted by John Poole, in Chelmsford Cathedral.
