Wind in the Reeds was commissioned by Deena Draycott in memory of John Watson, an army bandsman, teacher and bassoonist. Wind in the Reeds is both a tribute and lasting memorial to John. The piece is largely pastoral in nature, evoking images conjured up by the ‘play on words’ in the title, but includes a faster central section which exploits other aspects of the character of the bassoon. Transitions between the various sections of the piece are achieved through a series of accompanied cadenzas for the soloist.Wind in the Reeds werd geschreven in opdracht van Deena Draycott, ter nagedachtenis aan John Watson, muzikant in een militaire band, muziekdocent en fagottist. Het werk is grotendeels pastoraal van karakter; het roept beelden op die de woordspeling in de titel (Wind in het riet) met zich meebrengt, maar het bevat een sneller middengedeelte dat andere aspecten van het karakter van de fagot in de schijnwerpers zet. De overgangen tussen de verschillende gedeelten van het werk worden gerealiseerd middels een reeks begeleide cadensen voor de solist.Wind in the Reeds wurde von Deena Draycott in Erinnerung an John Watson, einen Militärmusiker, Lehrer und Fagottisten, in Auftrag gegeben. Wind in the Reeds ist sowohl ein Tribut an John Watson als auch ein bleibendes Andenken an ihn. Das Stück hat einen größtenteils pastoralen Charakter und ruft Bilder hervor, die durch das Wortspiel im Titel heraufbeschworen werden. Es enthält jedoch auch einen schnelleren Hauptteil, der andere Charaktereigenschaften des Fagotts eines der Lieblingsinstrumente des Komponisten erkundet. Eine Reihe von Solo-Kadenzen bilden die Übergänge zwischen den verschiedenen Abschnitten des Stückes.Wind in the Reeds est une commande de Deena Draycott en mémoire de John Watson musicien dans l’armée, enseignant et bassoniste. L’œuvre est la fois un hommage et une commémoration la mémoire de John. Elle est principalement pastorale, évoquant des images en lien avec le jeu de mots du titre avec une partie centrale plus rapide mettant en lumière d’autres aspects du basson. Les transitions entre les différentes sections se font par une succession de cadences accompagnées pour le soliste. Wind in the Reeds fu commissionato da Deena Draycott in memoria di John Watson, un bandista dell’esercito, insegnante e fagottista. Wind in the Reeds è sia un tributo che un ultimo memoriale per John. Il brano ha per lo più le caratteristiche di una pastorale, che evoca immagini richiamate dal gioco di parole del titolo, ma include una sezione centrale più veloce che sfrutta le caratteristiche del fagotto. I passaggi tra le varie sezioni del pezzo sono realizzati tramite una serie di cadenze accompagnate per il solista.

The classic holiday favorite by Al Stillman and Robert Allen is presented here in a playable arrangement for concert band. It is my hope that this arrangement will be equally satisfying for the young band with ample rehearsal time or for the more mature band that wants a holiday favorite they can perform with limited rehearsal. The piece is presented first in a lush chorale format with the use of extended jazz harmonies. Special care should be given to balancing and tuning the inner voices for the most pleasant sound. After the lush opening on the famous refrain the arrangement moves to the bridge in an up-tempo swing. In this section the percussion is written to imitate a drum set, but if a set is available it may be preferable to use it in order to get the right feel. Following the bridge is another statement of the refrain followed by a hymn-style section by the reeds with jazz interjections by the brass straight out of the famous Perry Como rendition. This is followed by a D.S. to the bridge, one more refrain and then a short coda It has been my pleasure to have the opportunity to write this arrangement. I hope you and your students enjoy it and find it useful for your program. -LARRY CLARK New York, NY 2003.The classic holiday favorite by Al Stillman and Robert Allen is presented here in a playable arrangement for concert band.

Intersections by noted Canadian composer, Bob Buckley is an interplay between the different sections of the band. The opening melody starts off with the alto, tenor, flugel, and trumpet and then develops into a ‘call and response between the reeds and brass. The next section opens with a line played by the bari, bass bone, guitar, and bass, contrasted with horn stabs, leading into the first solo sections. Later a cannon between the upper and lower voices leads to an ensemble section, another solo section and a blazing finish. A fun chart where all sections have a chance to shine!

A dramatic brass and percussion dialogue interrupted by a free snare drum ostinato lead into an allegro characterized by a broad flowing melody in the low reeds and brass, and rhythmic punctuating woodwinds. Outstanding choice for your band!
