Judd: Joy Peace & Happiness

An ideal concert opener (first or second half) where the idea is that the band appear on stage section by section starting with percussion followed by basses and so on!

Judd: Joyous Carillon

This music takes the form of a double trio (cornets and trombones) with full brass band accompaniment and is based on the composer's own Christmas song for female voices, 'Carol of the Bells'.

Judd: Jubilance

This exuberant fantasia for soloist and band requires double-tonguing for the quick and brilliant introduction. Not only the soloist will be extended with this work - the band accompaniment is also demanding and will need to be given full attention. The solo builds to a brilliant climax and is an ideal showcase for Cornet soloists.

Judd: Just As I Am

A typically dramatic 'classic' by Heaton. Published in 1947 but written many years before, this timeless composition is more than 'just a hymn setting' - more a miniature Tone Poem of real Heaton intensity. Immensely popular for both SA and 'contesting' bands and featured on no less than 6 recordings in this catalogue.

Judd: Just Like Him

This solo was written at the request of David Daws and recorded by him with The International Staff Band on the CD Glory, Glory. David liked the solo 'Kim' by Allan Street and wanted a solo in similar style. It requires musicianship beyond mere technique and calls for keen interpretive skills. Built around 'He giveth more grace' and an arrangement of 'There is a name I love to hear', there is plenty of scope, in a variety of styles, for the soloist's artistry to show through.

Judd: Just Like Juan!

Judd: Kerygma

The Greek word 'kerygma' was adopted by the early Christian church as a way of expressing 'the word of God proclaimed'. The composer has taken this concept and used three contemporary worship songs, 'He is Lord', 'Jesus Christ' and 'He has risen', along with fragments of the more traditional 'Easter Hymn', to proclaim in music the Lordship of the risen Christ.

Judd: King of Heaven

Based on the well-known hymn 'Praise my soul, the King of Heaven', this composition was specially written for The International Staff Band. A veritable showcase for the brass band, featuring each section in turn (cornets, horns and baritones, trombones, euphoniums and basses, percussion), the music concludes with an exciting and dramatic presentation of the theme.

Judd: Kings of Swing

The opening features a cornet, trombone and tuba trio, intended to be the three kings, as they swing their way to Bethlehem using the classic Christmas carol, We three kings of Orient are.

Judd: Let Everything Praise

Drawing inspiration from Psalm 148, this exciting work is a setting of the hymn, 'All creatures of our God and King'
