Eileen Clews. Suite of five short pieces providing an interesting challenge for young players of intermediate standard or a lightweight recital filler for more experienced brass quintets. Each instrument is featured in turn contrasting bright rhythmic pieces with more lyrical solos for second trumpet and tuba.

A full orchestral arrangement in miniature pocket score format of Four Scottish Dances Op.57 by Sir Malcolm Arnold CBE. A superb quartet of Scottish dances by the prolific English composer that was originally commissioned for the BBC Light Music Festival and premiered at the Royal Festival Hall on 8th June 1957. With varying mood and styles from jigs and reels to a more brooding ballad the work reflects the tranquillity and beauty of Scotland as well the vibrancy and liveliness of its population.

The Concerto was written in 1954 and given its premiere at the Royal Albert Hall with the BBC Symphony Orchestra. It is composed in three movements Grazioso Mesto and Con brio.Malcolm Arnold was a British composer who earned an international reputation both as a composer of serious works including nine symphonies and as a composer of light music. He composed more than one hundred film scores among them the Oscar-winning music for The Bridge on the River Kwai the award-winning music for The Inn of the Sixth Happiness Whistle Down the Wind and Hobson’s Choice. Larry Adler for whom this work was written was an absolute maestro of the chromatic mouth Organ who recorded andperformed widely and with some of the other greatest musicians of his time. It is due to Adler’s artistry and popularity that there exists any real repertoire for the instrument.
