‘Plateau of Dances with a Scottish Flavour’ Plateau of Dances with a Scottish Flavour was composed in autumn 2016, Eastbourne, and is inspired by my childhood in Doune, Perthshire; as well as the Ceilidhs and Fèis (cultural festival in the Highlands) my daughter, Clara, and I were immersed in when we lived in the picturesque village of Kingussie, Badenoch and Strathspey. The four dances are a celebration of my love and nostalgia for Scotland, and an expression of my family’s Scottish memories. Each dance comes with a quote from my favourite poet, Robert Burns, whose insightful and sensitive observations are a poignant appreciation of everyday life. Why the reference to Scottish food? Because this piece is dedicated to my father, Papou, who appreciates a merry supper. The 1st Movement, 'To the Mighty Haggis', is a Strathspey with its characteristic Scotch snap -a short-long rhythm, as if saying the word ‘haggis’; which is fitting as the Scottish bard’s quote comes from his poem Address to a Haggis, traditionally said on Burns’ Night. The 2nd Movement, 'The Humble Shortbread', is a Reel; as is usually the case in Scottish dances. It should be played with a slightly ‘snappy’, swung rhythm. 'What though on homely fare we dine, [...] A man is a man for all that' comes from my favourite Burns’ poem: A Man's a Man for A' That. And who doesn’t enjoy the humble shortbread? There is a more reflective, nostalgic mood to the 3rd Movement, 'Ode to the Homely (salty) Porridge'. The Air is a reminiscence of the quiet evenings Clara and I would spend in Kingussie, with our view of the beautifully haunting mountains. 'What will I get to my supper, [...] Ye'se get a panfu' o' plumpin parridge' comes from Burns’ The Shepherd’s Wife who tries to entice her husband back home with the promise of porridge (the Scottish way: with salt). Finally, the 4th Movement, 'Too Many Drams of Whisky', is a cheerful and lively Jig. It’s the convivial merriness of being with friends and family, maybe at a Ceilidh, with a wink to Scotland’s ‘water of life’. 'We'll tak a cup o' kindness yet, For auld lang syne' comes from Burns’ famous Auld Lang Syne: a fitting end to our musical and culinary tour of Scotland.

Sir Hubert Parry (1848-1918) is mostly remembered for the marvellous melodies of his hymn tunes, such as Jerusalem and Repton. The latter first appeared in Parry’s oratorio Judith and was adapted as a hymn tune after the composer’s death. This fantastic cornet solo will give your section leader a real chance to shine.

Sir Hubert Parry (1848-1918) maakt deel uit van een min of meer vergeten generatie van Engelse componisten, die - misschien begrijpelijkerwijs - werd overschaduwd door Sir Edward Elgar. Als gevolg daarvan wordt veel van hun oeuvrehelaas weinig gespeeld of zelfs vergeten. Wat Parry betreft: die is tegenwoordig vooral nog bekend door zijn hymnemelodieën, zoals Jerusalem en Repton, beide schitterend natuurlijk. Dit arrangement van het laatstgenoemdewerk (dat eerst verscheen in Parry’s oratorium Judith en na zijn dood werd bewerkt als hymnemelodie) is onderdeel van Philip Sparke’s collectie Classic Hymns

Vom englischen Komponisten Sir Hubert Parry, einem Zeitgenossen Edward Elgars, sind heute vor allem noch wunderschöne Kirchenliedmelodien, wie zum Beispiel Jerusalem und Repton, bekannt. Letzteres erschien zunächst in Parrys Oratorium Judith und wurde erst nach seinem Tod zu einem Kirchenlied bearbeitet. Dieses Arrangement von Repton beschert ihrem Cornet-Solisten einen glänzenden Auftritt!

Sir Hubert Parry (1848-1918) appartient cette génération de compositeurs anglais quelque peu oubliés dont font partie Charles Villiers Stanford et Sir Granville Bantock. La notoriété de Sir Edward Elgar a certainement contribué au fait que leurs œuvres soient aujourd’hui très peu jouées ou même oubliées.Sir Hubert Parry est surtout connu pour ses hymnes tels que Jerusalem et Repton, toutes deux de magnifiques mélodies. Repton est apparu pour la première fois dans l’oratorio Judith de Charles Hubert Parry puis adapté sous forme d’hymne après la mort du compositeur. Philip Sparke en a réalisé un arrangement dans lequel la partie soliste peut êtreconfiée un trompettiste, un clarinettiste ou un saxophoniste (saxophone alto).
