With
inspiration taken from
composers Maurice Ravel,
Arthur Benjamin and
Charles Ives, Bourgeois
take s a tongue-in-cheek
approach to this
challenging 3-movement
work. While the work is
infused with humor
throughout, it still
showcases his mastery of
the wind band
idiom.
In 1972, I
wrote a Sonata for Two
Pianos for two friends
who were piano teachers
at Wellington College.
When in 1995 I was asked
to write a work for wind
band, I returned to this
Sonata and have
re-arranged and in the
new version renamed it
Fantasy Triptych. There
are three movements: 1.
Le Tombeau d'Arthur
Benjamin Ravel wrote 'Le
Tombeau de Couperin,'
Arthur Benjamin wrote 'Le
Tombeau de Ravel' and so
the temptation to write
'Le Tombeau d'Arthur
Benjamin' was
overwhelming. At the end
of the movement there is
an oblique reference to
Benjamin's own 'Jamaican
Rumba' which accompanies
a quote from an old
Spanish folk song 'Loro,
enciende el hervidor de
agua.' 2. Mr. Bolt goes
for a ride in his motor
car, and Monsieur Ravel
turns in his grave. The
movement is dedicated to
an old friend, Geoffrey
Bolt, who adores the
music of Ravel. but at
the time of writing was
learning to drive. He
always described his
vehicle as a motor car.
To describe him as an
impatient motorist would
be a gross
understatement. The
refined suavity of
Ravel's music was in
complete contrast to
these early
manifestations of road
rage, hence the central
angry outburst. 3. The
War March of the
Ostriches The music of
Charles Ives was
fascinating me at the
time of writing this
movement and some of the
influence has rubbed off
in this rondo-like march.
At the end there is a
quote from the very
beginning of the first
movement. The title was
inspired by the amusing
antics of a group of
ostriches during a visit
to Bristol Zoo.

Adapted from
the slow movement of
Bourgeois' own Sonata for
Brass Quintet, Northern
Lament is a powerful work
with a fiery climax in
the middle and thematic
material derived from a
simple & memorable
melody.
This piece
originated in the slow
movement of Sonata for
Brass Quintet, which I
wrote in 1965 whilst
still a pupil of Herbert
Howells at the Royal
College of Music, London.
It had been commissioned
by the Halle Brass
Quintet, although they
never performed the work.
In 1997, Timothy Reynish
suggested that I should
arrange the work for wind
orchestra. I decided to
expand the movement into
something more than
double its original
length, adding a fiery
climax to its central
section. The whole
movement derives from the
simple melody stated at
the beginning. Because of
Timothy Reynish's
association with the
Royal Northern College of
Music in Manchester,
England and because the
original sonata was never
played by the
northern-based Halle
Brass Quintet who invited
me to write it, I decided
to call the new piece
Northern Lament..

Scenes from an
English Landscape is a
brief nostalgic tone poem
taking its inspiration
from visions of rural
England as depicted in
the paintings of John
Constable, the novels of
Thomas Hard, and the
music of Gustav Holst and
Ralph Vaughan Williams. A
chorale-like theme is
stated in the brass and
then taken up at three
times the tempo in the
woodwinds. At the end of
the work, both versions
of the theme are stated
together to bring the
piece to a triumphant
climax.
This is a
brief nostalgic tone poem
taking its inspiration
from visions of rural
England as depicted in
the paintings of John
Constable, the novels of
Thomas Hard, and the
music of Gustav Holst and
Ralph Vaughan Williams. I
imagined a community of
villagers coming out of
church and filling a
village square with their
vibrant presence. A
chorale-like theme is
stated in the brass and
then taken up at three
times the tempo in the
woodwinds. At the end o
the work, both versions
of the theme are stated
together to bring the
piece to a triumphant
climax. Adam Gorb was
born in Cardiff and
started composing at the
age of ten. His first
work broadcast on
national radio was
written when he was
fifteen. He studied at
Cambridge University
(1977-1980) and the Royal
Academy of Music
(1991-1993) where he
graduated with the
highest honours including
the Principal's Prize. He
has been on the staff at
the London College of
Music and Media, the
junior Academy of the
Royal Academy of Music
and, since 2000 he has
been the Head of School
of Composition at the
Royal Northern College of
Music in Manchester .
International recognition
came in 1994 with the US
Walter Beeler Prize for
his work Metropolis .
With it began what has
developed into probably
the most important wind
ensemble catalogue by a
contemporary composer,
ranging from extremely
challenging to the most
accessible, at all
technical levels, seized
on by players
internationally, widely
recorded and now
absolutely central to the
world's wind repertoire.
Equally important though
are his works for dance,
and concert pieces like
the chamber orchestral
Weimar , the Violin
Sonata , a Clarinet
Concerto for the Royal
Liverpool Philharmonic
Orchestra and Diaspora
for strings (for the
Goldberg Ensemble).
Deceptively mainstream at
first glance, they
display the same
inventive brilliance,
pulsating sound world,
striking use of rhythm
and an undogmatic absence
of stylistic hang-ups to
embrace jazz and
serialism in works where
power, poetry, irony and
pathos, often underlaid
by a theatrical and
deeply subversive
element, coalesce in an
integrated, highly
individual musical voice.
Gorb is also not afraid
to draw on the vivid
musical heritage of his
Jewish roots, sometimes
directly, often in a more
subsumed or radically
creative way. The crucial
and consistent feature of
Gorb's work though is
that it communicates
strongly without
patronizing players or
audiences. He firmly
believes that if
contemporary music - any
music - does not impact
on listeners then its
message is irrelevant; it
is lost.

Sea Dreams was
written in memory of the
composer's wife, Jean.
After an introduction,
which is not heard again
until the end of the
piece, the music becomes
a rondo allegro, and
gradually builds to a big
climax. At the very end
there is an oblique
reference to the
Liebestod of Wagner's
Tristan and
Isolde.
Sea Dreams
was originally a
commission, in 2007, from
an American University
who wanted me to write a
piece in memory of my
first wife, Jean, who
died in 2006. I set about
writing the music and
quickly completed the
score early in 2008, but,
unfortunately, because of
the sudden collapse in
the worldwide financial
markets the commission
itself fell through. The
music draws on three of
the pieces that I had
written for Jean in the
early days before we were
married, namely two
violin sonatas (she was a
violinist) and the
'Serenade' Opus 22 one of
my most popular pieces.
However the bulk of the
music is new, and the
quotes from these early
pieces are subtle and
merely passing
references, not at all
like the originals. After
an introduction, which is
not heard again until the
end of the piece, the
music becomes a rondo
allegro, and gradually
builds to a big climax.
At the very end there is
an oblique reference to
the Liebestod of Wagner's
Tristan and Isolde. Sea
Dreams was premiered by
Birmingham Symphonic
Winds, conducted by Keith
Allen, on Saturday March
20th 2010 at the CBSO
