Occasional Overture
Benjamin Britten composed his Occasional Overture, Op.38, for

the opening of the BBC Third Programme on 29th September
1946, when it was performed by the BBC Symphony Orchestra
under Sir Adrian Boult. It was not heard again until 1982,
when the composers Executors decided that it should be
revived. Given the dominance of brass and woodwind in this
concise but exciting work, versions for brass band and wind
band have been prepared for Brittens centenary year.

The Keystone Kops was a series of silent comedies featuring an

incompetent group of policemen. They first appeared in the
1912 film Hoffmeyers Legacy but it was the 1913 feature The
Bangville Police that confirmed their popularity. The Keystone
Kops were renowned for making mistakes, particularly with
a great deal of energy and activity, and all done with a major
lack of coordination. Carl Daviss energetic theme provides a
fitting musical portrait of a silverscreen phenomenen.

Lyonesse was commissioned by the Brass Band Heritage Trust

a dance. This is Dobsons interpretation of the imagined
future music that Huxley dreamed of.

Penlee
To some, the tragic story of the Penlee lifeboat, Solomon
Browne, would need no introduction, and to some the pain
felt is still very much a reality. The composer, born just a few
weeks before that fateful night on the 19th December 1981,
has created this work as a musical homage to the bravery
of the souls who lost their lives and has dedicated it to their
memory. Penlee was commissioned by the Cornwall Youth
Brass Band using funds bequeathed by Michael Pickett.
The first performance was given by the Cornish Youth Brass
Band, conducted by Ian Porthouse, at St. Michaels Church,
Newquay, on 30th December 2008. Penlee was voted into the
Classic FM Hall of Fame 2011 at no.106. Not only is it the first
time a brass work has been featured in the Hall of Fame, but it
was also the highest new entry.

This up-tempo acid-jazz number draws inspiration from

song. The whole band joins in to play a huge ri that acts as

chase of Ichabod Cranes final ride on his horse, Gunpowder,
in the story by Washington Irving, namely The Legend of
Sleepy Hollow. Often an atmosphere of driven fear pushes
the music forward, only briefly stopping for breath. The work
closes with flourishes in rapid succession, perhaps with the
hapless Ichabod meeting his unfortunate end!

Masque
Masque has been transcribed for wind band from Heskeths
Scherzo for Orchestra, commissioned by the National
Childrens Orchestra in 1987. The main theme is bravura and
is often present, in the background. The form of the piece is a
simple scherzo-trio-scherzo, and has colourful scoring (solos
alternating with full bodied tuttis) with a dash of wildness!

Vranjanka
Premiered on 6th November 2005, at the RNCM International
Wind Festival, Vranjanka is loosely based on the traditional
folksong ano Duo. The melody is extant in two versions,
one in 7/8 and one in 3/4. Hesketh chooses the version in
7/8 and has extended the melodic ideas of the original with
new material. The musical form of the piece is as follows; a
fairly slow introductory section where the theme is only
hinted at but never heard and a faster second section cast in
a set of variations on the folksong. These are not variations
in the traditional sense, with clearly marked beginnings and
endings, but ongoing developments of the various melodic
material in the folksong with original material growing out
along side. Vranjanka was commissioned by Timothy and
Hilary Reynish in memory of their son William.

Whirlegigg
Whirlegigg is the middle English word for a contraption that
continuously spins. A great fascination with many inventors
of the medieval period was to develop a perpetual motion
machine constantly turning and giving o energy. This idea is
particularly apt for this piece. A simple ternary structure gives
ample opportunity for both boisterous and reflective material
with gyrating accompaniment figures never far away. The
machine almost stops near the end, but finally musters one
last burst of excitement and energy to bring the work to its
close.

A Thames Journey follows the river Thames from its origins, as

a few drops of water in Wiltshire, to the point where it meets
the open sea at Greenwich. Hess draws upon many musical
links along the Thames, such as an old Wiltshire melody,
morris dancing in Oxfordshire, boating songs from Berkshire
and street songs in London. With such rich and diverse sources
of music across several counties and centuries, this has quite
understandably become one of Hesss most popular works to
date.

Shakespeare Pictures
While Music Director and House Composer for the Royal
Shakespeare Company, Nigel Hess wrote music for over
twenty productions. Hess has taken music from three works
to form a 12-minute suite called Shakespeare Pictures. It begins
with the boisterous overture to Much Ado About Nothing,
followed by a contrasting slow movement depicting the
beautiful statue from A Winters Tale before displaying huge
pomp of Caesars Rome with The Entry to the Senate. This work
is ideal for bands that have played and enjoyed Hesss work
East Coast Pictures. This wind band suite was commissioned
in 2008 by Birmingham Symphonic Winds. The original music
is now expanded and re-orchestrated to form a new threemovement suite for symphonic wind orchestra.

Der Aufstand
Der Aufstand (German for riot) is not a descriptive work, nor
is it solely based on the riots of 2011. It does, however, draw
on the idea of opposing forces and escalating anger. The
work falls into two contrasting sections that are linked by
a series of repeated, screaming chords. A slow build drives
the first section from a single pitch to a blazing orchestral
tutti. The second section is a fast and wild series of fanfares
and driving rhythms that ultimately cannot be sustained. In
many ways this mirrors the first. Both sections open on single
tones (Bb and E) and grow to a climax of brass and hammered
chords. The first performance took place on the last day of the
2012 Olympic Games. Der Aufstand is a noisy antithesis to the
celebratory fanfare.
