This haunting melody from the pen of G. F. Handel was used in a 2002 television advert for a well-known brand of jeans. A great addition to your concert programme.

England’s oldest known Christmas Carol.
This atmospheric arrangement takes the Carol back to it’s original form and melody which is slightly different from the modern day version.
Again, not a traditional march but a great opener. Stargazer is the third of Kevin’s space trilogy. Again, this piece shows all the hallmarks of Kevin’s writing with a great melody and plenty of energy with a little twist, as in the middle section the title is spelled out in the cornets using Morse code. A must for any band.
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.
