Par CHOI DANNY. Written in the fall of 2019, this exhilarating piece for Symphonic Wind Ensemble portrays the heroism, along with the conflict - both external and internal - of peacekeepers around us. A keeper of the peace may be a soldier or a police officer, but more importantly, it is those around us, our family and friends who look out for us, our minds, and our bodies. / Date parution : 2022-09-20/ Répertoire / Concert Band

Philip Kern is a master at arranging well-loved hymns in an exciting way. One of his arrangements The Glory of His Promises was a top-seller when first released. Now he offers two traditional hymns in His River HisPeace – “It Is Well with My Soul” and “Peace Like a River.” We frequently receive requests for arrangements of old hymns and this gentle SATB arrangement will go a long way to fill that need.Ladies begin with “It is Well with My Soul ” then men enter singing “Peace Like a River” with all four parts completing the verse. Then a combining of the two hymns majestically crescendos to a fortissimoconclusion followed by a tender repeat of the final phrase. Glorious.

Judith Weir's The Tree Of Peace was composed in 2016 for Organ. Commissioned in loving memory of Richard Axtell (1952-2015) talented and much-loved organist at the Parish of St. Andrew West Tarring. 'It'senormously inspiring to see the Master of the Queen's Music turning her attention to the organ once again. Judith Weir's The Tree Of Peace is a short piece commissioned in memory of the organist Richard Axtell... Despite thesimplicity of the music it carries all the hallmarks of Weir's unmistakeably refined idiom.' - Stephen Farr Choir and Organ Jan 2018 From the Master of the Queen's Music Judith Weir comes The Tree ofPeace which was commissioned in memory of Richard Axtell organist of the parish church in West Tarring West Sussex. It was given its first performance there by Charles Harrison on the 17 June 2017. It lasts some 4 minutes andproves to be a thoroughly engaging piece in her customary refined idiom. It is in three main sections with a graded increase of tempo throughout. Thematic material is presented at the start cantabile. The central sectionprovides an energetic development marked animato leading to the conclusion molto mosso which gives the theme as in the opening but in augmentation. Throughout I feel an orchestral sense of colour and interrelationships inthe music - and have found it delightful to play. A modest two manual and pedal instrument with some contrasted quiet colours available will suffice and the technical demands are by no means severe. A delightful addition to therepertoire of short self-contained delightful pieces. - Organists' Review Duration: Approx 4 minutes.
