Timbuckthree
After a bit of a falling out with our 5 year old (at the time) I stormed off. “Where are you going?” he asked. “Timbuktu” I said – “Where are you going?”… “Timbuckthree” he replied– triumphantly! This tune includes 3 references from 20th century classical themes. Richard Strauss horn concertos 1 and 2 and Ravel’s G major piano concerto. Ravel took it from Gershwin who took it from from listening to black American music.
Solos; Mick Foster, Jim Rattigan and Steve Fishwick.
See You Suddenly
The title of this track comes from a meeting with a rather eccentric bassoon player. “See you later” I said as I was leaving. “See you suddenly” he shouted after me.
Solos; Steve Fishwick and Andy Panayi.
Oh Yeah Great, Thanks
The thought of a future generation of young people living on a parched earth whilst embroiled in wars over water and looking back at past generations saying “Oh yeah great, thanks”
Solos; Dave Whitford, Hans Koller and Jim Rattigan
Eclipse
Named after the experience I had of seeing a total eclipse which was awesome.
Solos; Dave Whitford, Hans Koller and Jim Rattigan
Sweet Tamarind
This is just a bit of fun. I first wrote this as a trio for horn violin and piano and decided to do an arrangement for Pavillon.
Solos; Mark Nightingale, Percy Pursglove, Steve Fishwick and Robbie Robson.
Ballad Blue
A gentle ballad…and slow blues.
Solos; Martin Speake, Hans Koller, Robbie Robson and Jim Rattigan
Why Ask
This is an arrangement of a tune I wrote many years ago.
Solos; Martin Speake, Mark Nightingale and Percy Pursglove (on Flugelhorn).
Crout’n Confusion
This title is inspired by a poem by John Hegley about the town of his upbringing and the conflict between his working-class origins and the middle-class status conferred upon him by a university education.
I remember Luton
as I’m swallowing my crout’n.*
I am from Houghton Regis which is very near Luton where I spent a lot of my childhood.
Solos; Percy Pursglove, Martin Speake and Martin France.
