Anglian Dances, Alan Fernie. Brass Band

ANGLIAN DANCES - Parts & Score, TEST PIECES (Major Works)
 
Composer / arranger: Alan Fernie

The five Anglian Dances are really miniature sound pictures of scenes from a mythical English country village. These are clearly pictured within my mind, but I prefer to both the listener and the performer form their own impressions.

The work was originally commissioned by the late Brian Hastings and The East Anglian Brass Band Association for their Annual Spring Festival in 1999 supported by National Lottery Funding through the Arts Council of England.

There are five movements in this Suite.
 
Selected as the Test Piece for the 2006 Regional Brass Band Championships of Great Britain - Section 4

Duration approximately 10:50 mins.

Percussion requirements:
Drum Kit, Timpani, Glockenspiel, Wood Block or Temple Block
