Songs for B.L. by Elgar Howarth Brass Band - Sheet Music
By Elgar HowarthSongs for B.L. was commissioned by BBC North for the 1995 BBC Festival of Brass and first performed by the Eikanger/Bjorsvik Musiklag Band in February that year. It was selected as the championship section test-piece for the 1995 National Brass Band Championships of Great Britain. The piece is in seven sections: Romanza; First Scherzo; Ballad; March; Second Scherzo; Romanza reprise; Coda. It is romantic but charged with highly chromatic harmony, and makes much use of chamber music textures. The work is dedicated to the composer’s wife, Mary. ‘The meaning of the title,’ says the composer, ‘is a secret, and will remain so’.
