Seize the Day was written for the London-based International Staff Band of the Salvation Army, conductor Dr Stephen Cobb, the title serving as the theme for the band’s USA West Tour 2010. This version for wind band was made for the Maidstone Wind Symphony in 2012.
As befits music being performed during a trip to the United States the work is based upon three traditional American spirituals. The first, The Gospel Train, is introduced following a carillon-like intrada in trombones and bells with supporting cornet flourishes. Ostinati drive the musical locomotive along until an abrupt halt ushers in another kind of vehicle, the celestial Sweet Chariot, featuring euphonium and trombone soloists.
The finale, Amen, celebrates the arrival at our destination with some tongue-in-cheek West Coast (and Swinging London!) references before a reprise of Swing Low, Sweet Chariot brings the music to a majestic and joyful conclusion.

Composed using a single, yet driving tempo, Shadow Dancer incorporates a repeating syncopated rhythmic figure as its foundation. Every section is provided a melodic opportunity as the various instrument groups are introduced. By combining a couple of unexpected interjections with the repetitive and infectious rhythm pattern, this is a dynamic and enjoyable piece for both audience members and performers. Dur: 2:10

Wonderfully reminiscent of the Shostakovich Waltzes. Drawing on the contrast of darkness against light, this innovative work is menacing at times, seemingly innocent at others, and nearly out of control at its most volatile moments. A static rhythmic pulse forms the backdrop for the entire piece as shadows seem to move throughout darkness in a playful yet deceitful way. An invigorating and unique work!
