Composed by Michael Brand. Band Music. Score and parts. Duration 10:00. Published by G & M Brand Music Publishers (CN.R10194).

The story of a sleepless night, Dreams and Fancies uses musical episodes to depict definite pictures: the three accented pulses of the main theme signifying a kind of fate, a demented waltz which breaks down, a love theme in the middle, then a wild jazz party. The end is a huge climax - a grand ceremony in which the lovers marry, but haunted by the three accented pulses of the first theme, representing a dark fate.

This is a story of a sleepless night: fancy is the old English word for a musical fantasy. There are musical episodes, some of which are associated with definite pictures: the three accented pulses of the main theme signifying a kind of fate, a demented waltz which breaks down, a love theme in the middle, then a wild jazz party. The themes all come together as the music becomes more exciting towards the end with thematic interjections appearing as flashbacks. The end is a huge climax - a grand ceremony in which the lovers marry, but haunted by the three accented pulses of the first theme, representing a dark fate. Musically the piece is unifying in two ways. Firstly, all the themes are built from the opening 15 bars. Secondly, the pulse of the music remains virtually constant with each beat around 76 per minute. This means that the tempi need to relate to each other: a difficult task for the conductor!

This is a short piece that reflects my love for the joy and passion that is found in Salsa music. Hopefully when players of this piece have negotiated the intricate syncopated rhythms they will be able to let their hair down and party!

Clarinet or Cornet Feature. Composed by Giuseppe Verdi. Arranged by Geoffrey Brand. Band Music. Score only. Duration 3:00. Published by G & M Brand Music Publishers (CN.S11130).

This duet feature for Bb Clarinet (or Trumpet) and Bassoon (or Euphonium) is a merry drinking song from Verdi's opera La Traviata. Geoffrey Brand cleverly left the arrangement in the original key of B-flat so that it may be performed with soprano and baritone soloists and even a chorus if you so choose.

Verdi's opera La Traviata (The Castaway) is based on the book 'The Lady of the Camelias' by Alexandre Dumas. It was first produced in Venice in 1853. The scene is a banquet room in the home of Violetta in Paris in 1700, where a great supper party is being held. Alfred Germont and Violetta Valery declare their love for each other, to the music of Brindisi - a drinking song - as the other guests join in the merriment and splendour of the evening. Since the key (concert Bb) and layout conform exactly to Verdi's score, a vocal score of 'La Traviata' can be used for soprano (Violetta) and baritone (Alfred) and, if available, a chorus can also be added.

Most Americans became familiar with the Scottish folk song Auld Lang Syne because of Guy Mr. New Year's Eve Lombardo and his long-running New Year's Eve Party on CBS. But it was Victor Herbert who used the tune to magnificent effect in his Festival March a generation earlier. The March proved to be very popular and Herbert kept it for his own use for many years, only finally allowing its publication. A performance by Cleveland POPS is available on YouTube.
