Shalom Chaverim is an ancient Hebrew (farewell)song which was originally sung at the end of a celebration or meeting. It was and is mostly sung as a round. Freely translated the words mean ?Goodbye friends goodbye and see you again!?. The varying moods at a parting have been captured very well by Andreas Schulte in his arrangement ?Variations on Shalom Chaverim?. The composer himself says about the song ?Although the melody is in a minor key the overall atmosphere in the song is positive. one wishes each other all the best. Saying goodbye however also hurts. When you slow down the pace of the melody and add ?blue notes? in the harmonies this can be sensed immediately.?Schulte refers here to the first variation. The second variation is very intense with possibly even deeper-felt emotions. ?Variations on Shalom Chaverim? ends on a cheerful and positive note in fast tempo and with oriental elements in the melody: ?L'hitra'ot Shalom? (See you again and farewell!).

Smoke Sketches is Daniel Hall’s first original work to be published in the Faber Music Brass Band Series. Daniel is one of the most gifted of the rising generation of composers writing for brass bands. Smoke Sketches was composed at the invitation of Brass Bands England for the Intermediate Section of the 2017 National Youth Brass Band Championships of Great Britain.

Into the Blaze suggests someone briskly fire-walking barefoot with unexpected sparks fizzling from the ground. A Lonesome Ember capturesthe fleeting life of a small ember beginning insignificantly and gradually evolving into a larger being before disappearing into ash while Spark of Light bristles with life and energy. Band Grade 3/4 duration 8 minutes.

La musique juive traditionnelle possède une caractéristique unique : elle est un subtil mélange de joie et de mélancolie. Le célèbre chant Shalom Alechem en est la parfaite illustration. En dépit de l?utilisation de la gamme mineure la trame reste festive. L?arrangement de Johan Nijs reste parfaitement fidèle à l?atmosphère de la chanson originale. La musique nous conquit par son enthousiasme et sa vitalité.

Shackleton s Cross was inspired by a painting created in 1957 by the English artist Edward Seago (1910 1974). The title refers to a cross which was erected to the memory of Sir Ernest Shackleton who led a number of explorations to the Antarctic. Shackleton died in 1922 whilst on a Polar expedition and the cross can be found on a promontory at the entrance to the bay at Grytviken Whaling Station in South Georgia. The painting is owned by HRH The Duke of Edinburgh and was part of an exhibition at Buckingham Palace from October 2011 to April 2012. Originally scored for oboe trumpet and small orchestra Daniel Hall s sensitive arrangement fortrumpet or cornet and brass band follows the composer s alternative version for solo trumpet and organ created for Crispian Steele-Perkins (trumpet) and David Goode (organ).
