Wind in the Reeds was commissioned by Deena Draycott in memory of John Watson, an army bandsman, teacher and bassoonist. Wind in the Reeds is both a tribute and lasting memorial to John. The piece is largely pastoral in nature, evoking images conjured up by the ‘play on words’ in the title, but includes a faster central section which exploits other aspects of the character of the bassoon. Transitions between the various sections of the piece are achieved through a series of accompanied cadenzas for the soloist.Wind in the Reeds werd geschreven in opdracht van Deena Draycott, ter nagedachtenis aan John Watson, muzikant in een militaire band, muziekdocent en fagottist. Het werk is grotendeels pastoraal van karakter; het roept beelden op die de woordspeling in de titel (Wind in het riet) met zich meebrengt, maar het bevat een sneller middengedeelte dat andere aspecten van het karakter van de fagot in de schijnwerpers zet. De overgangen tussen de verschillende gedeelten van het werk worden gerealiseerd middels een reeks begeleide cadensen voor de solist.Wind in the Reeds wurde von Deena Draycott in Erinnerung an John Watson, einen Militärmusiker, Lehrer und Fagottisten, in Auftrag gegeben. Wind in the Reeds ist sowohl ein Tribut an John Watson als auch ein bleibendes Andenken an ihn. Das Stück hat einen größtenteils pastoralen Charakter und ruft Bilder hervor, die durch das Wortspiel im Titel heraufbeschworen werden. Es enthält jedoch auch einen schnelleren Hauptteil, der andere Charaktereigenschaften des Fagotts eines der Lieblingsinstrumente des Komponisten erkundet. Eine Reihe von Solo-Kadenzen bilden die Übergänge zwischen den verschiedenen Abschnitten des Stückes.Wind in the Reeds est une commande de Deena Draycott en mémoire de John Watson musicien dans l’armée, enseignant et bassoniste.

Adventus, meaning arrival or debut and celebratory in nature, was written to showcase the playing achievements of students. After a bold fanfare statement, the main theme is developed (first playfully, then with more grandeur). A contrasting moment of calm transitions to the exciting return of the opening theme, followed by triumphant closing material. Written squarely for Grade 1 players but with an attractive, mature sound that belies its level, Adventus, by Scott Watson, would make the perfect concert opener or closer.

Hope helps each of us face life's challenges with courage and optimism. Gift of Hope by Scott Watson captures musically both of these aspects of hope. Opening dramatically, the piece soon settles into an upbeat, joyful main theme. Slower contrasting material follows, building from a tender, transparently scored opening to a climax full of resolve.

The Appalachian folk carol, Jesus, Jesus, Rest Your Head, was collected by folk musicologist (and the composer of the tune, I Wonder as I Wander), John Jacob Niles, in the early Twentieth Century. This hauntingly beautiful arrangement of the tune explores the Nativity with peaceful reverence and mysterious wonder. Watson's writing includes expressive tempo changes, lush scoring for full band, transparent episodes for woodwinds, and delicate percussion writing, offering bands ample opportunity for performing with musical beauty and eloquence.

The 14th-century carol, Personent hodie, is both mysterious and powerful. On This Day Earth Shall Ring---a festive processional on the ancient melody arranged by Scott Watson---explores both aspects. Beginning quietly, the modal tune emerges over a chant drone with rustic, medieval percussion. Before long, the piece takes on the joyous character alluded to in the tune's most familiar English text setting, On This Day Earth Shall Ring (written by composer, Jane Joseph, a student of Gustav Holst). As the work draws to an ebullient close, all the stops are pulled with resounding brass and ringing metallic percussion! Whether used as a striking concert opener or a jubilant final selection, On This Day Earth Shall Ring will add festive élan to your winter/holiday program!
