Judd: The Shepherds Farewell

An arrangement for brass band from the oratorio 'The Childhood of Christ'.

Judd: The Shining Star

A scintillating Christmas march from the pen of Peter Graham, featuring the carol, 'O come all ye faithful', with occasional references to 'God rest ye merry, gentlemen'.

Judd: The Swan

Featured by many Euphonium soloists over the years, the main aim of the soloist here is to re-create the sonorous sound of the cello, for which instrument it was set in its original form in 'Carnival of the Animals'

Judd: The Triumph of Peace

This ever popular Eric Ball 'classic' is played as much today as it has ever been. Composed in the wake of the Munich crisis and the return of British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain after his talks with Hitler, this tone poem juxtaposes music of urgency (the chromatic opening subject) with Eric Ball's own hymn for peace, 'Peace in our time O Lord'.

Judd: The Victor

This Festival March was written for the Melbourne Staff Band and it features the hymn tune,Millennium (T.B. 227). Whilst the origin of the tune is unclear, its character is quite distinct. The composer thought it would be appropriate to suggest a hint of the style brilliantly employed by Australia's great march writer Arthur Gullidge.

Judd: The Wellingtonian

Judd: Themes from New World Symphony

For three years the Czech composer Dvorak lived and worked in America and this, his ninth and last symphony, contains impressions of that continent. This arrangement for brass band follows the scheme of the original in movement order and theme presentation although a certain amount of 'condensing' of material has naturally been inevitable.

Judd: This is My Story

A 'Latin' style solo for cornet or trumpet based on the hymn tune 'Blessed Assurance'.

Judd: Thy Matchless King

Diademata is the subject for a thrilling and energetic concert opener by Joel Collier from the USA Southern Territory.

Judd: Time and Eternity

Following the popularity of the composer's earlier cornet and euphonium duet, 'I'll Not Turn Back', this duet was written for The International Staff Band's 2000 recording, 'Renaissance' on which the soloists were David Daws and Derick Kane.
