Again, not a traditional march but a great opener. Stargazer is the third of Kevin’s space trilogy. Again, this piece shows all the hallmarks of Kevin’s writing with a great melody and plenty of energy with a little twist, as in the middle section the title is spelled out in the cornets using Morse code. A must for any band.
“Kojo no Tsuki” (Bb Cornet Solo) Rentarō Taki composed this song in 1901 for students. Bansui Doi’s lyrics evoke Japan’s past wars and ruined castles. Inspired by a warrior’s poem, Kevin’s Bb Cornet arrangement captures its haunting beauty.
Watching The Wheat (Eb Tenor Horn) is a traditional Welsh love song “Bugeilio’r Gwenith Gwyn” which translates as “Shepherding the White Wheat.”
Kevin arranged this version for his 50 Years A Bandsman concert.
