Was pleased to read this afternoon that the pieces are as follows for the Wilkinson Open:
Championship & First Section:
Quintessence (Robert Redhead)
Second Section:
Renaissance (Peter Graham)
Third Section:
The Call of Righteous (Leslie Condon)
Fourth Section:
Own choice from any SP&S Title
Quitessence: Flugels beware, Renaissance (Back row beware!), Call of Righteous (Front row, beware!).
The organisers have used the idea to promote the wider use of SA music. I think all are excellent works and would not be out of place on any of the competing bands concerts. No massive solos or ridiculously hard moments but plenty of opportunity for bands to try something different and be introduced to some new repertoire. I am sure World of Brass will be on the case shortly but maybe those in the know, could suggest some works for 4th section bands to use.
I would go for Eric Balls 'Old Wells' or 'Sound out the Proclamation', asl you might want to try 'Canadian Folk Song Suite' by Morley Calvert.
