This is a discussion that could be debated long into the night and a subject that could fill many editions of this magazine with opinions and ideas. There can be little doubt, though, that in the fast-moving and highly visual society we all live in, branding and image is of huge importance to any organisation, not only for its success but, in many cases, actual survival. The challenge is there for all brass bands to consider its ‘look’ and how it meets the needs of our younger generation and our potential audiences. One company that can help bands meet this challenge head-on is Kroake. This Newmarket-based company specialises as a merchandise brander and is run by Desford Colliery baritone player, Lloyd Shipp, and his business partner, Andrew Boreham. Perhaps your band is looking for a set of tour tee-shirts, or maybe a more informal look for a particular concert? Maybe you want some branded gifts with your band’s image on, such as a USB stick or a mouse mat? Kroake can impress your image on virtually anything with the use of screen printing and thermal transfers. Kroake also boasts a free service to all bands and organisations, through its new e-commerce initiative. This new service means that Kroake will manufacture products to order for your group, and it will pay a renumeration back to the band, upon sale; the renumeration being the difference between the trade price, agreed beforehand, and the retail price set by the band for a specific product. This means that bands do not have to take up valuable storage space and tie up that all-important capital in slow-moving merchandise. As well as its range of tee-shirts, fleeces and other casual ‘banding wear’, Kroake offers a full uniform and embroidery service. To find out more about the free e-commerce offer, or to enquire about the Kroake range, tel: 01638 661991 or see www.kroake.co.uk Young Brass Soloist 2010 Final Featuring The Black Dyke Band conducted by Nicholas Childs Presenter Frank Renton Saturday 20th February, 7.30pm The Royal Northern College of Music, Manchester FREE TICKETS available from the box office 0161 907 5555 No more than 4 per person.

    Building Bridges Through Music: a Recording and Performance Collaboration with Adult Composers, Young Soloists, and Collegiate Band Accompaniment

    Building Bridges through Music: A Recording and Performance Collaboration with Adult Composers, Young Soloists, and Collegiate Band Accompaniment by Melanie Jane Brooks A Research Paper Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Musical Arts Approved April 2018 by the Graduate Supervisory Committee: Gary W. Hill, Co-Chair Jason Caslor, Co-Chair Melita Belgrave Amy Holbrook Deanna Swoboda ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY May 2018 ABSTRACT Although music is regarded as a universal language, it is rare to find musicians of different ages, ability levels, and backgrounds interacting with each other in collaborative performances. There is a dearth of mixed-ability-level wind band and string orchestra repertoire, and the few pieces that exist fail to celebrate the talents of the youngest and least-experienced performers. Composers writing music for school-age ensembles have also been excluded from the collaborative process, rarely communicating with the young musicians for whom they are writing. This project introduced twenty-nine compositions into the wind band and string orchestra repertoire via a collaboration that engaged multiple constituencies. Students of wind and string instruments from Phoenix’s El Sistema-inspired Harmony Project and the Tijuana-based Niños de La Guadalupana Villa Del Campo worked together with students at Arizona State University and composers from Canada, Finland, and across the United States to learn and record concertos for novice-level soloists with intermediate-level accompaniment ensembles. This project was influenced by the intergenerational ensembles common in Finnish music institutes. The author provides a document which includes a survey of the existing concerto repertoire for wind bands and previous intergenerational and multicultural studies in the field of music.
  • The Composer's Guide to the Tuba

    The Composer's Guide to the Tuba

    THE COMPOSER’S GUIDE TO THE TUBA: CREATING A NEW RESOURCE ON THE CAPABILITIES OF THE TUBA FAMILY Aaron Michael Hynds A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS August 2019 Committee: David Saltzman, Advisor Marco Nardone Graduate Faculty Representative Mikel Kuehn Andrew Pelletier © 2019 Aaron Michael Hynds All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT David Saltzman, Advisor The solo repertoire of the tuba and euphonium has grown exponentially since the middle of the 20th century, due in large part to the pioneering work of several artist-performers on those instruments. These performers sought out and collaborated directly with composers, helping to produce works that sensibly and musically used the tuba and euphonium. However, not every composer who wishes to write for the tuba and euphonium has access to world-class tubists and euphonists, and the body of available literature concerning the capabilities of the tuba family is both small in number and lacking in comprehensiveness. This document seeks to remedy this situation by producing a comprehensive and accessible guide on the capabilities of the tuba family. An analysis of the currently-available materials concerning the tuba family will give direction on the structure and content of this new guide, as will the dissemination of a survey to the North American composition community. The end result, the Composer’s Guide to the Tuba, is a practical, accessible, and composer-centric guide to the modern capabilities of the tuba family of instruments. iv To Sara and Dad, who both kept me going with their never-ending love.

    DORDT UNIVERSITY MUSIC WIND SYMPHONY ALBUM PREVIEW CONCERT Onsby C. Rose, Conductor Monday, March 8, 2021 7:30 p.m. B.J. Haan Auditorium A Note from the Conductor: Welcome to a concert by the Dordt University Wind Symphony! The students you will see tonight represent almost every major offered by Dordt University. Only 9% of those on stage are majoring in music. Although each of these student musicians are tasked with rigorous academic loads, they have chosen to use the talents God has given them to come together and create something beautiful. This academic year we have been challenged by the Coronavirus pandemic. However, these students have continued to work hard in preparation for not only concerts, but for a major recording project. A total of 66 minutes and 40 seconds of music will be recorded for this album between March 10-13, right here in the B.J. Haan Auditorium. The ensemble will undergo approximately 30+ hours of intense recording sessions. None of this would be possible without the work ethic of each and every student member of the Wind Symphony, in addition to the support of all of the faculty and staff at Dordt. In addition, the project was funded by over 150 generous donors. Each of these names are listed in the back of this program. We would like to offer our sincere thanks to each of them. Without the continued support of alumni and others, this album and many of the events held in the Department of Music would not be possible. On behalf of our students, fellow faculty, and everyone at Dordt University, I offer a tremendous thanks.

Follow the Band: Community Brass Bands in the Scottish Borders Gillian French Doctor of Philosophy University of Edinburgh 2014 Abstract This thesis presents research into the history and contemporary context of brass bands in the Scottish Borders. It discusses how the survival of the brass bands in the Scottish Borders can be accounted for over the last 150 years, in particular with regard to the continuity of their interaction with the community which has enabled them to overcome cultural, social and demographic changes. The textile industry which provided a stimulus for the formation of the brass bands in the nineteenth century has largely disappeared, but the traditional role of the bands has been carried forward to the present day. Previous study of the social and cultural history of the brass band movement has concentrated on the history of brass banding in the North of England.

    The Newsletter of the Foden’s Band Patrons Association January 2015 www.fodensband.co.uk Welcome Mark Wilkinson—Principal Cornet Dear Friends On behalf of all at Foden's I hope you had a great Christmas and send our best wishes for 2015. Welcome to the January 'Foden's Fanfare', as always we have tried to make the magazine as interesting as possible including news from 2014 as well as outlining some plans and forthcoming events in 2015. 2014 was a busy year for the band with 101 rehearsals, 37 concerts, 5 contests, 3 CD recordings and 7 coaching days (not including our work with Foden's Youth). We were very pleased to have launched our composers competition receiving a total of 46 entries. Following on from this, a leading UK rival Brass Band as well as University also ran a competition using exactly the same format as ours, nice to be copied!!!! We hosted an International Conductors School in Sandbach led by Allan Withington as well as appearing in concert with a pop group who are signed with a major UK record label. Our self promotional concert in Manchester Cathedral was a huge success and we became record breakers by winning every single contest on the Tameside Whit Friday March Contest (the first time in over 130 years). The film 'Brass in the Blood', tracing the history of the band, moved up a gear with both the Youth Band and ourselves filming some action shots and finally we were privileged to appear in concerts at the RNCM, Royal Concert Hall in Glasgow and the Barbican in London performing a new work 'A Child Like You' from the pen of Andy Scott featuring the band, narration from Foden’s Youth Band members along with a vocalist and harpist.
