Composed by Richard Wagner. Arranged by Colin G Dance. 19th Century,Classical,Contemporary,Romantic Period. Brass Band. 35 pages. Dance is With Music #995519. Published by Dance is With Music (A0.1413736).

Götterdämmerung is the last in Richard Wagner's cycle of four epic music dramas titled Der Ring des Nibelungen. It received its premiere at the Bayreuth Festspielhaus on 17 August 1876, as part of the first complete performance of the whole work.

It featured at the end of the 1981 John Boorman film 'Excalibur' when Sir Percival reluctantly throws 'Excalibur' to the Lady of the Lake and King Arthur dies.

This arrangement is for brass band - and I have to say, it was rather difficult to make if fit and work properly! I hope you like the final outcome of my endeavours.

By Colin G Dance. By Harry J Stafford. Arranged by Colin G Dance. 20th Century,March. Score and Parts. 11 pages. Dance is With Music #712314. Published by Dance is With Music (A0.1109969).

Arranged as a commission from the British Scouting movement several years ago, this march by Harry Stafford is dedicated to my Godfather Pete Johnson who sadly died a few years ago. He was a very senior figure in the scouting movement, and dedicated his later life to the movement. The Mortimer Scout Hut where he was based has gone from a ramshakle old shed to a purpose-built building commensurate with his commitment. Pete was a World War 2 Royal Marine veteran having being involved with the D-Day landings – of which he rarely spoke, and was a well-known figure in his home village – often maintaining the church grounds. He was presented with an award by Her Majesty the Queen for his work with the scouting movement. He was also one of those presented with the ‘Legion D’Honeur’ medal when they were issued.

This is a patriotic war-time ‘sing-along’ piece I wrote in 2013 for one of the Exeter ‘Classics Galore!’ concerts held annually at Exeter University Great Hall. Fantastic concerts these – featuring not only a top quality local orchestra, but the SW Comms Band (Lympstone) as well. It features; ‘Pack Up Your Troubles’, ‘We’ll Meet Again’, and ‘The White Cliffs of Dover’.

I wrote this as part of a Wedding Suite I composed back in 2005, and to be honest, I'd forgotten all about it and it's never been played, whereas the other two movements have been! One of the movements is now published as 'The Love That We Share' by Musikverlag-Frank. This is a big, bright fanfare suitable for any occasion - not too short, and definitely not too long! I've rewritten it here in 2022 and added some big percussion. It'd make a great opener for any concert, but would equally work for special occasions outdoors.

A very interesting yet quite sad tale goes with this song. An elderly gentleman got in touch and asked if I could write down a Christmas Carol he’d composed. I agreed, and had several visits with him when he sang the carol he’d composed. I wrote it all down, and produced this brass band version (and a vocal one) for him. He came to our band one night to hear what I’d done, and was visibly moved. Sadly, he passed away very soon after this, but at least his daughter Wendy had her carol. It’s a very traditional carol, yet with differences, and would add a new edge to any Christmas concert.

This popular melody was composed by Charles Henry Purday in the 19th Century, but the popular hymn is attributed to J B Dykes and is known as 'Sandon'. He extended it into the well-known verison often featured at funeral services in the United Kingdom. This version features a rendition of 'The Last Post' bugle call after a modulation to Bb.

An ever so slightly 'tongue in cheek' humorous version of this work from Handel's 'Messiah'. It uses a quartet of soloists including Solo Cornet, Tenor Horn, Euphonium and EE Bass. The piece is suitable for Christmas concerts, and indeed the major work is normally performed at this festive time. The cymbals player stands with his cymbals at the ready throughout the whole piece but doesn't actually get to play them..! The trombones get a laugh too. The whole thing requires the band to 'act up' somewhat, and the score and parts have instructions on what to do and when...!

This arrangement of this famous carol is loosely based on a piano solo version performed by Nigel Hess in his album featured on Classic FM called 'Silent Nights'. It's not a jolly 'have a laugh' version like the original, but a more sombre version with some glorious harmonies underneath. I'm sure it'll be something different for your Christmas concerts.

This is the slow and very peaceful song from the Pat Metheny and Lyle Mays album 'As Falls Wichita So Falls Wichita Falls'. I've always loved the song after my brother Kevin introduced me to it many years ago, and it's only fitting that this arrangement is dedicated to two friends who are sadly no longer with us - Del Wilton, and Harry Rossiter.

Here's an arrangement for brass band that I did several years ago. I've just revisited it along with several others, and thought it was worth sharing with you all. It's the main theme from the film 'Somewhere in Time' by John Barry. I remember Christopher Reeves in this film looking so absolutely devastated at the end of it. Brilliant acting.

This is my composition entitled 'The Jewel of Chaos'. I've changed the image I've used too as I didn't realise the original one had 'super heroes' in it! It incorporates a tune called 'The Somerset Wassail' which it opens with, but it is played around with later in the piece. I'm very pleased with - it's a major piece of work, and think it will make a great concert piece for brass bands of intermediate standard.

This arrangement of this hugely popular Rogers and Hammerstein classic from 'Carousel' is written as a 'euphonium feature' in that the euphonium carries most of the melody, but it is also taken up by the horns and solo cornets in places. Inspired by the performances by Josh Groban and Aretha Franklin , this version has wonderful harmonies, and two modulations. Beautiful!

With everything that's been happening recently, I can't quite beleive this myself, but I actually wrote a symphonic work in a week flat! It's called 'Symphony of Somerset' - although it's more of a symphonic suite that a symphony, but I'll stick with it! It's based on a selection of Somerset Folk Songs which have been 'worked on' shall we say.

The work is being premiered by Exeter Symphony Orchestra on Saturday 18th March 2023 at Holy Trinity Church in Exmouth, Devon, UK. Exciting stuff! I better have a look at the tuba part...!
