Coldstream Guards Band ý)erform concert of British Music St. John's, Smith Square, London Tuesday 13th September Regimental Band of the Coldstream Guards under the baton of Director of Music, Major Graham Jones M. B. E. performed a wonderful and far reaching concert of music by British composers at St. John's Smith Square on Tuesday 13th September. The first half of the evening was dedicated to the music of the I Dr Gordon Jacob, fittingly with some of his family amongst the audience. The second half featured two works from one of the band world's leading composers (I use this term to encompass bands of all types), Martin Ellerby, plus Malcolm Arnold's H. R. H. Duke of Cambridge March. So the concert's title 'British Wind Band Music' was fully justified. The concert opened with Gordon Jacob's Concerto for Band, a three movement work - Allegro, Adagio and Allegro, written for 3the US Navy Band and premi&red in 1968 conducted by Sir VKian Dunn. The sound and quality of the band was evident right from the beginning of this fine work, with both brass and woodwind showing what high quality players there are around the stand. Special mention must be made of the band's Solo Euphonium player John Storey and the gentlemen of the horn section. 0 The second Jacob work was a true tour de force - Musicfor a Festival, commissioned by the Arts Council of Great Britain for the Festival of Britain in 1951 and first performed at the Royal Festival Hall by the Massed Bands of the Brigade of Guards and the Fanfare Trumpets of the Royal Military School of Music, Kneller Hall. This seven movement, 35 minute work features a trumpet and trombone group, allegedly of more than 50 for the premi&re but for indoor purposes needing to be reduced. On this occasion the Coldstream Guards mustered six trombones and nine trumpets. The brass, as one may imagine, had a great time, showing excellent control and musicality, particularly when negotiating the complexities of the 2rd and 3rd movements, the Overture and Round Table respectively Following the interval and the opening march by Arnold, the IDevening belonged to Martin Ellerby This reAewer feels proud to have commissioned Mr Ellerby on two occasions in the last five years to compose major brass band works, both of which have received great acclaim and many subsequent perfornances, surely a hallmark of quality compositions. The two major works performed to conclude the concert were both tributes in their own way to major European cities: Paris - Paris Sketches and London - The Cries of London, the world premi6re performance. Paris Sketches was composed for the 1994 BASBWE Conference and performed by an Honours Band conducted by Clark Rundell at University of Huddersfield. The work is in three movements, depicting three areas of Paris: Pigafle, Pýre Lachaise (incidentally the cemetery where Hector Berlioz and Adolphe Sax are buried) and Les Halles. The final work, the musical pinnacle of the evening, is the latest from the pen of Martin Ellerby. Cries of London is a six movement work and depicts various London scenes, with the final movement entitled Hymn being an arrangement of the British National Anthem. Two of the six movements are preludes and personalise the band's work as they are bugle calls of the Coldstearn Guards - Dawn Watch (movement 1) and Evening Watch (movement 5). The second movement - Westminister Chimes paints a musical picture of the famous chimes just around the comer from the concert venue. The third and fourth, A Dream or Two (A Song for The Regimental Band of The Coldstream Guards. London), based on London Bridge is Falling Down, was well delivered by the band's male vocalist. Catch that Catch Can, is a Scherzo based on a series of 'rounds' written in the 17th and 18th century by London composers. The final movement Hymn is a creative arrangement of the British National Anthem. The work, the composer, the band and conductor received a prolonged ovation following the performance. Another fine original work by Mr Ellerby! The Coldstream Guards Band and their Director of Music, Major Graham Jones deserve great praise for presenting such an evening of original music and for encouraging Martin Ellerby to write for Military Band.
