Product Description

Shades of Eltham (Eltham Concert Band - 35 Years of Music) - Brass Band Version (2025) Dedicated to Ern and Beattie Shade for their contribution to the Eltham Concert Band. The title of this piece is a play on words, of course, indicating both the Shades themselves and the various shades or moods of the music or even perhaps, the shady bushland setting of the area itself. I composed this piece with a few simple ideas in mind. The letters E and A in the word Eltham suggested to me an interval of a fourth, or the other way around, an interval of a fifth which are both used in many entries of the themes and musical motifs throughout the work especially the brass.

There are several variations and counter melodies within the work: a bright two-four march-like theme, probably the Main theme, and a variation of this theme in slower three-four time in a minor key with two counter melodies - representing a gentler contrasting mood. On occasions, two or even three themes play simultaneously. A bridging passage in four-four occurs about two-thirds into the composition leading up to a restatement of the main theme. The final climax or Coda actually has both three-four melodies against the two-four one resolving in the last few bars in a dramatic way. I hope you enjoy my musical tribute to the Shades.
