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.
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.
Crowning Glory was written for Denton Brass as their march for the annual Whit Friday March Contests. This bright energetic march has all the hallmarks of Kevin’s march writing with obbligatos for the Soprano Cornet and Solo Horn.
A great concert opener for all standards of bands.
