Brian Knowles has the rare gift for giving traditional carols a modern twist and at the same time enhancing their popular appeal,' says television personality Alan Titchmarsh MBE. 'We Three Kings is one of his most infectious and exuberant compositions. I love it and know it by heart.' He is not alone in enjoying this hugely tuneful and upbeat new version of words adapted from the much-loved Christmas hymn. It is a favourite item in the repertoire of the choir of the Royal School for girls, Haslemere, whose enthusiastic performance has become a regular feature of Alan's Radio 2 show Melodies for You.

Miniature Score. This work was commissioned by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. It was first performed on 13th May 1998 London. This piece is based on a genuine old tune 'Maxwell's Strathspey' which the composer found in an 1824 collection of Scottish melodies, and which unfolds at the start of the piece on solo cello. Variations and a bold up-tempo to the quick dance we know as a reel ultimately yield to the magic that has been promised right at the start: the northern lights take over at the end of the piece. Its inspiration comes from a walk to a community event in Hoy Hall, during which Davies saw the lights in the sky pulsing in and out of time with the sounds coming from the hall. Duration 12 minutes. Conductor's score and orchestral parts are available on hire.

Belgian composer Jef Joseph Maes (1905 – 1996) often described himself as a modern romantic, and his 1948 Arabesque and Scherzo for flute and piano (written as a concours piece for the Royal Conservatoire Antwerp in Belgium) is a testament to that label. Quite aside from its appeal to flutists as a competition work - with its origins as a concours piece allowing the player to display both technical and musical prowess - the music itself holds touches of Korngold and early Hindemith in its lush melodies and moments of sultry film music. And, though Maes held no truck with most elements of modernism, his clever take on neo-romantic harmony and a healthy touch of humor keeps the piece sounding fresh and appealing. Constructed on the model of more famous Paris Conservatoire pieces - Gaubert's Nocturne et Allegro Scherzando, for example, or Enesco's Cantabile et Presto - the Arabesque and Scherzo revels in the two-movement format. The opening Arabesque allows the flutist to sing, with ornamentation and figurations highlighting the flute's ability to color octave-spanning melody with technique. The Scherzo alternates between action sequences and moments of reverie, but always with an ear towards vivid musicality and clear conversation between flute and piano.

Adagio for Brass is full of beautiful lyrical melodies and the warm harmony and full orchestration give the audience and the band the chance to give their thoughts free reign in a contemplative atmosphere. A wonderfully uplifting work suitable for concerts on all occasions and certainly not one to be missed. Das ruhige und feierliche Adagio zeichnet sich durch melodische Weite und Ausdruckskraft aus. Lyrische Melodien, eine warme Harmonik und die volle Orchestrierung bieten Publikum und Musikern die Gelegenheit, ihren Gedanken in einer besinnlichen Atmosphäre freien Lauf zu lassen. Ein wunderbar aufbauendes Werk, das sich für viele Anlässe eignet. Adagio for Winds est une œuvre de commande pour la Fanfare Royale Ridder Jans Zonen de Dadizele en Belgique. Elle a été composée en mémoire de Walther Bekaert (1933-2002) et dédiée An Bekaert. Jan Van der Roost en a réalisé cette sublime orchestration pour Brass Band publiée sous le titre : Adagio for Brass.Le discours musical est serein et profond l’instar du célèbre Canterbury Chorale - une œuvre antérieure de Jan Van der Roost - sans jamais tomber dans un mélodrame exagéré. La structure mélodique est fluide, ample et d’une grande puissance expressive. Aucune nuance de tristesse, de rancœur ou de révolte sourde n’est perceptible. Lamusique est porteuse d’espoir mais aussi d’une certaine résignation d’où l’utilisation d’un environnement presqu’exclusivement centré sur la tierce Majeure. Une interprétation en hommage un être cher disparu accentue le souvenir des belles choses. Une interprétation dans un contexte neutre permet de souligner la mélodie lyrique, les harmonies chatoyantes et la richesse de l’orchestration. Les musiciens et le public ont ainsi la possibilité de laisser s’épanouir leur imagination dans une atmosphère contemplative. L’accord final élargi symbolise d’une certaine manière la finitude et l’infinitude de la vie. La mort marque la fin de l’existence d’un être mais ne détruit ni les liens d’amour, ni la vie en général.
