Jacques Offenbach’s beautiful Barcarolle from Act II of Les Contes d’Hoffmann.
Duet parts played by Kevin Ackford
Score & Parts
The first piece of Kevin’s space trilogy which was originally written for the Poynton Youth Band. This piece is a great opener with its strong drum rhythm at the beginning and its flowing melody throughout.
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.
Eb Tenor Horn or Eb Soprano Cornet with piano accompaniment
Benjamin Godard’s Berceuse de Jocelyn has been a favourite for many years especially on the slow melody contest circuit. This arrangement stays faithful to the original by Godard with the different rhythms in the first and second recitatives.
