Par HESKETH KENNETH. In Danceries , by Kenneth Hesketh, the melodies themselves are a mixture of old and new. Where the old occurs it has been adapted in mood and composition and is often interspersed with completely new material. The contemporary harmonies and rhythms bring a breath of new into these themes and add drama to the suite. The first movement, Lull Me Beyond Thee , is gentle and lilting, almost a barcarole, this movement is very much a reverie. The original tune had the name Poor Robin's Maggot , a rather disconcerting title. Maggot, however, in seventeenth-century parlance meant whim or fancy. The second, Catching of Quails , is a colourful, buoyant scherzo on an original melody. The thematic material is shuttled around the band to contrast with full-blooded tuttis. The last few bars fade to almost nothing, before a final surprise! My Lady's Rest is a tender pavane, also on an original melody, with Moorish leanings. Beautiful solo passages, expressive contrapuntal writing and warm tuttis provide an opportunity to show off the most lyrical of playing. The final movement, Quodling's Delight is a clever combination of the 17th century melody, Goddesses , with an original contrasting melody, creating a rousing and exuberant finale to the work. / Niveau : Assez Facile / Répertoire / Brass Band

Par HESKETH KENNETH. Un Masque (abréviation de Masquerade) a été défini par les historiens comme ' A revel dans laquelle mimes ou masqués folk viennent avec des torches blazing dans la salle de fête et appeler à la compagnie de danse et couper en dés '. Le chaos de cette danse dramatique est représenté dans cette ' Masque ' par Hesketh. Le thème principal est la bravoure et est souvent présent, à l'arrière-plan. La forme de la pièce est un scherzo-trio-scherzo simple. Notation colorés (solos de vent supérieur, solos de trompette et de la corne alternant avec plein de corps tuttis) avec un trait de caractère sauvage peut tease joueur et auditeur à décevoir leurs cheveux un peu ! ' Masque ' a été transcrite pour bande par Kenneth Hesketh de son ' Scherzo pour orchestre ', commandée par l'Orchestre National pour les enfants en 1987. Cette fine pièce peut être entendue sur le CD de la bande Leyland, photos de la côte est (numéro de catalogue 0-571-52109-6)./ Répertoire / Brass Band

Handel in the Band is a virtuoso set of symphonic variations on one of Handel’s best known keyboard dances the Sarabande from his Suite in D minor HWV 437 based on the Spanish traditional dance La Folia. Kenneth Downie’s work was commissioned by Brass Band Treize Etoiles for performance at the 2013 Swiss National Brass Band Championships where it was conducted by James Gourlay. The title is a reference to Percy Grainger’s popular Handel in the Strand and is indicative of the witty and theatrical nature of the music which is more playful than conventional competition pieces and as such offers different challenges to brass bands as well as beingthoroughly entertaining for audiences. Kenneth Downie is one of the most respected and experienced brass band composers. His music has been widely performed and published throughout the brass band world since the 1960s.

Par HESKETH KENNETH. The term Danceries can be found in a copy of Playford's Dancing Master which is an extensive collection of folk and popular tunes of the 17th Century (and no doubt earlier). The melodies themselves are a mixture of new and old (although where the old occurs, it has been adapted in mood and composition and is often interspersed with completely new material). The harmonies and rhythms bring a breath of the new into these themes and add to the drama of the set./ Répertoire / Orchestre D'Harmonie

A Masque (short for Masquerade) has been defined by Historians as 'A revel in which Mummers or masked folk come with torches blazing into the festive hall and call upon the company to dance and dice'. The chaos of this dramatic dance is depicted in this Masque by Hesketh. The main theme is bravura and is often present in the background. The form of the piece is a simple scherzo-trio-scherzo. Colourful scoring (upper wind solos trumpet and horn solos alternating with full bodied tuttis) with a dash of wildness may tease both player and listener to let their hair down a little! 'Masque' has been transcribed for wind band by Kenneth Hesketh from his Scherzo forOrchestra commissioned by the National Children's Orchestra in 1987.

When the Second World War began the British March King Kenneth J. Alford (pseudonym for Major F. J. Ricketts R.M.) was increasingly in bad health and had composed relatively little music recently. As Hitler's armies marched victoriously across Europe Britain was soon alone facing the Nazi peril. Alford's great contribution to the war effort was the composition of two of his great masterpieces ARMY OF THE NILE celebrating the first Allied victories over the Germans in North Africa and EAGLE SQUADRON. The latter of these marches celebrates American airmen who travelled to England during the early years of the war (before the entry of the United States into the conflict) tovolunteer for service with the Royal Air Force serving with great distinction during the Battle of Britain. Alford skillfully weaves a number of well-known tunes into the fabric of the music including the Royal Air Force March and The Star-Spangled Banner while also including a reference to the Siegfried motive from Wagner's Ring of the Nibelung. Mark Rogers' edition of this classic march includes a handsome full score and concert size set of parts.

Cette deuxième série de Danceries continue le format, établi dans les Danceries populaires (Set I), de l'utilisation des airs et des danses de Maître à danser Playford (17e siècle) pour former la base d'une suite de danses prolongée. Dans cet ensemble, les mélodies ont été plus abstrait et seul projet un écho lointain de leurs formes originales, mais comme avant, chaque mouvement est autonome, coloré et direct, avec son ambiance distincte. Les mouvements extérieurs - Bawbee Jennie et Galliarda Peascod de - partager un emploi de conduite de percussion écrit avec un air militaire. Toye Tom Tinker et facilité Heart (mouvements deux et trois) sont les deux paramètres de mélodies originales. Tous les mouvements sont plus étendues que dans le premier set, avec une utilisation plus libre et l'approche du matériau- mélodies se produisent maintenant dans différentes touches et sont soutenus par une plus grande variété de coloration harmonique. Le résultat est une plus riche, encore plus exaltante ensemble de danses./ Répertoire / Orchestre à Vent
