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.
Transcribed from Kevin’s Brass Band composition for the Symphonisches Blasorchester Beilngries this beautiful melody is a winner at concerts.
The title Celtic Dreams comes about as the melody was going around inside his head whilst dreaming one morning just before he woke.
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.
