Concerto for Horn, Winds and Percussion

Concert Band Score & Parts

Celtic Scents is an amazing suite of wonderful musical scents (wildflowers, herbs, and trees) unified by the brilliant imagination of world-renowned teacher, performer and composer Kazimierz Machala, and the familiar sounds of Celtic folk music. This completely original work of seven movements is reminiscent of Grainger's Lincolnshire Posy, including a very creative and enjoyable harmonic palette. The composition requires a full wind band and takes advantage of colorful orchestration to link each movement more closely to the scent it represents. While Machala composed Celtic Scents originally for orchestra, he has carefully and artistically re-orchestrated the work for the modern wind band. Celtic Scents will best suit performances by collegiate and professional wind bands around the world due to the advanced technical and musical requirements. There is absolutely no doubt that audiences and performers will enjoy their time spent with this joyful and engaging composition.

A native of Poland, Machala quickly gained recognition as an excellent hornist, gaining positions with the Cracow Radio Symphony, Sydney (Australia) Symphony Orchestra, along with an impressive career in solo and ensemble work. Recently named Professor Emeritus of Horn for the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and Professor of Horn at the Chopin University in Warsaw, Poland, Machala has turned more and more to arranging and composition, adding to the repertoire for his instrument. Eclipse, a new work for eight horns, gives equal weight to all parts in a dynamic new concert piece.
