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.
Said to have been written by S. S. Wesley while sat under a tree in a park in the town, this beautiful melody has been brought up to date by Kevin and was arranged for the Holsworthy Town Band to celebrate their Centenary. With its modern feel and lilt this is a great addition to your concert programme.
A stunning ballad for band which has all the ingredients need to send shivers down the spines of audiences. Its beautiful melody and pure emotion make this piece a must for any concert programme
