Originally written for the St. Dennis Band in celebration of their successes in 2016, it tells the story of a journey through time gradually building before that journey ends and a new one begins as if time has gone back.

Takeda no Komoriuta (Lullaby of Takeda) is s beautiful Japanese folk song which tells the story of a young girl. The girl was forced to leave her family and village to go to work for a rich family on the other side of a mountain. As the girl worked carrying a baby on her back she thought about her family. Missing them she sang this song to comfort herself.
Playable by any standard of band this has proved to be very popular with audiences.
A slow dreamy opening followed by a pop/rock finish. Great fun to play, the percussion section can let their hair down and audiences love it.
Arranged to commemorate those who lost their lives in the sinking of the Titanic this is a very subtle and emotional arrangement beginning and ending with simulated ship’s bell and lone cornet.
