By Graham Hamilton. By Graham Hamilton. Celtic,Classical,Contest,Festival,Historic,Irish,Traditional. Brass Band. 215 pages. Hambone Music #1024482. Published by Hambone Music (A0.1444584).An epic 4 piece suite based on the Peebles Beltane Festival and its traditions which have been going on for almost 200 years.
The first movement follows a day in the life of a novice monk and the arduous trek they make to and from one of their religious sites and features and encounter with some knights on the way ro reinforce a local castle which is under siege.
The second movement sees us introduced to some young 'lassies' who are dancing their way through the beautiful rolling hills and valleys of the Scottish Borders to join in the festivities.
The third movement joins us on the Thursday evening in front of the Crown Hotel, where the local 'cornet' and his lass perform a type of dance called a reel which grows in intensity and tempo until the dancers collapse in an exhausted heap.
The fourth, and final movement is based on the local festal song theme which is played during ythe parade and at the crowning ceremony at the Old Parish Church steps on the 'red letter day' of Beltane Saturday and culminates in an excerpt of 'God Save the Queen' and the Beltane Fanfare.
