Adelaide Wind Orchestra have spent the past few years, since COVID-19 upended everything, finding and recording Australian contemporary works for wind ensemble. Later in 2023, we will release an album, digitally, of these recordings, including Martin Cheney's major symphonic work, Tangent. Conducted by Bryan Griffiths Recorded by Ray Thomas and Lachlan Bramble

Recorded during COVID when we were unable to perform. This is the second of three movements. Elder Hall, Saturday 8 November 2020 Conducted by Bryan Griffiths Recorded by Lachlan Bramble and Ray Thomas From Australian Music Centre, by David Stanhope: Dedicated to the memory of Percy Grainger, all my folksong suites use folk-songs in a variation or passacaglia-like form. The original folksongs come from Great Britain. The titles of the 3rd Suite are: 1. Droylsden Wakes - a simple verse and chorus setting with rich romantic harmonies; 2. Lord Bateman - a fast-moving and virtuosic multi-metre setting; 3. Three Ships & Lisbon - a sound-picture of a group of troubadours approaching a coastal town, the Three Ships melody eventually overwhelming their own tunes.

Elder Hall, Saturday 8 November 2020 Conducted by Bryan Griffiths Recorded by Lachlan Bramble and Ray Thomas Programme Note by David John Lang Before they became musical, the instruments of the wind orchestra made themselves useful on the battlefield. There’s nothing like a battalion of drums and trumpets to stir the soul as you march towards death or glory. You don’t want to be hearing the delicate whimper of a violin while the enemy charges toward you and flaming arrows whistle overhead – you want crashing cymbals, baying horns! This fanfare is a battle cry. It’s in the tradition of the call-and-response chants known as military cadences, in which a leader yells out short, barely-musical phrases and the soldiers shout them back. It’s an effective way to keep in step and to get pumped up for some strenuous physical activity – so, good for musicians as well! It sounds all the more terrifying when you don’t know the language, so I’ll let you in on the secret: all the rhythms you hear can be matched to the words of the famous “Armour of God” passage in St Paul’s letter to the Ephesians. “Stand firm then!”
