Illuminate

A spectacular opener to any Christmas concert, based on the French carol,  Bring a torch, Jeanette, Isabella. This work tells the story of a group of  children in medieval Provence, dressed up as shepherds and milkmaids,  carrying torches and candles as they proceed to the stable. As they draw  closer and their excitement increases, they are constantly reminded by their  parents to keep the noise down so that they don't wake up the baby Jesus. The  music begins quietly and builds to a majestic conclusion. "If I were  still conducting regularly, this would certainly be on my list as a Christmas  concert opener - it sets the energy and mood most effectively. The scoring is  terrific."

The winner of the RWCMD Cory Band Composition Prize 2018, this exciting
  and descriptive work is now available for orchestra. The music tells the
  story of the first solo non-stop transatlantic flight (by Charles Lindbergh),
  including the moments before Lindbergh's upcoming attempt at the expedition,
  the turbulence that he experienced along the journey and finally the
  exultation of completing his mission. This will be a highly captivating piece
  for your band's concert program that is also challenging and engaging for
  your musicians.

The Spirit of St Louis

This descriptive festive work by Andrew Wainwright expertly fuses together several well known carols. The piece opens with a rather mysterious rendition of Noël Nouvelet, a French carol that dates back to the 16th century. There are references to God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen in this opening section, with its familiar melody and haunting harmonies.

A lively 6/8 section ensues which features A Great and Mighty Wonder in a stirring setting of the traditional English carol, before a beautifully reflective treatment of The Infant King.

The final section begins with the lively Tomorrow Shall be my Dancing Day, which moves into a majestic finale which sees the carols Of the Father’s Heart Begotten and A Great and Mighty Wonder juxtaposed with each other. A dramatic coda brings the work to a grandiose and glorious conclusion.

A version of this work is also available featuring choir and orchestra.
