Another exciting composition by an exciting Canadian composer.
Donald Coakley wrote Cantos in the 1970s and has now corrected
previous errors in print and altered some sections. The title
Cantos derives from that form of poetry in which a poem, in many
cases epic in nature, consists of many short verses. The four
movements are very short and contain interesting material for all
players. Originally conceived as a piece for wind ensemble, this
piece would work well in either a wind ensemble or concert band
setting.
This collection takes some famous chorales from Luther, Praetorius
and others and puts them together to form a practical and useful
suite that is approachable by most quartets.This arrangement is
interchangeable with any combination of wind instruments.
It seems only natural for arrangers to look to the choral
repertoire to create sets of short chorales as warm ups or concert
pieces. This collection takes some famous chorales from Luther,
Praetorius and others and puts them together to form a practical
and useful suite that is approachable by young musicians. This
arrangement is part of an interchangeable set for 4 like
instruments that can combine any number of instruments.
This famous folksong has been brilliantly arranged for brass choir.
Melody is found throughout the ensemble and rhythmic variety keeps
the piece interesting and exciting for both players and the
audience. Creative writing and a popular melody make this an ideal
addition for a brass choir consisting of 5 trumpets, flugel horn, 4
horns, 3 trombones, euphonium, 2 tubas and percussion.
This is a great piece by Donald Coakley. He has taken commonly used
compositional techniques and developed them into a three movement
work. He had this to say about the piece: All these components are
presented in an easy and accessible framework. As a totality, the 3
movements that make up The Twentieth Century Band seek to advance
the young players musical and technical skills; in addition, it
seeks a heightened understanding of the craft of composition
through the presentation of some common devices used by composers
in this century.
Composer Donald Coakley was asked by the Pastor of St. William's
Roman Catholic Church, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, to write a
hymn based on verses he had written about the parish's namesake.
What developed is this powerful prelude. Fanfares in the cornets
and trombones, runs in the upper voices and melodic material
throughout the ensemble make this a powerful opener to a concert.
This famous folksong was brilliantly arranged as a concert band
showpiece and has been adapted here for mixed woodwinds. Melody is
found throughout the ensemble and rhythmic variety keeps the piece
interesting and exciting for both players and the audience.
Creative writing and a popular melody make this an ideal piece for
concert or contest use.
