Another fine example of Kevin’s skill as a melody writer. The full chording, subtle rhythm and beautiful melody pleases audiences of all ages. A fantastic addition to your Horn solo repertoire
Watching The Wheat is a traditional Welsh Song (Bugeilio’r Gwenith Gwyn)
Which translates as “Shepherding the White Wheat.”
This arrangement was for Kevin’s 50 Years A Bandsman concert being the melody that he performed on his first solo radio broadcast aged 9 years.
Written as the signature tune for Phillip Hunt’s BBC radio programme, with its energy and drive it is a perfect opener for your concert or entertainment contest programme.
Recorded by Black Dyke on the CD Essential Dyke Volume VI.
The first piece of Kevin’s space trilogy which was originally written for the Poynton Youth Band. This piece is a great opener with its strong drum rhythm at the beginning and its flowing melody throughout.
