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.
Written for Kevin’s Partner Barbara “An Huni a Garav” translates from the cornish language as “The one that I Love.”
This Beautiful melody will well into any concert programme.
Tenor Horn Legend Gordon Higginbottom described it as: “A lovely piece, a nice change to have a good melody not ruined by loads of twiddly bits, a real beauty.”
This Beautiful melody is a mixture of old and new. The solo starts in classical style before being brought up to date with the feel of a modern ballad then reverting to the classical style to finish.
A great addition to your Soprano Cornet player’s repertoire.
