Score & Parts
One of the most popular Hymns of all time. This arrangement from Kevin has a touch of something different about it. A great crowd pleaser.
Listen (Computer Generated)
Written as the signature tune for Phillip Hunt’s BBC radio programme, with its energy and drive it is a perfect opener for your concert or entertainment contest programme.
Recorded by Black Dyke on the CD Essential Dyke Volume VI.
Watching The Wheat is a traditional Welsh Song (Bugeilio’r Gwenith Gwyn)
Which translates as “Shepherding the White Wheat.”
This arrangement was for Kevin’s 50 Years A Bandsman concert being the melody that he performed on his first solo radio broadcast aged 9 years.
Carnsmerry was written as the set march in the year 2000 for the 1st section at the West of England Bandsmen’s Festival contest held in the village of Bugle in Cornwall. Snippets of both the Floral Dance as well as the May Dance can be heard in this vibrant march, finishing with an obbligato for both the Soprano Cornet and Solo Horn this is a must for your concert programme.
