Inchcolm Composed by Terry Johns

Music for Brass Band A solo feature for Horn Duration: 5:00 Minutes Percussion: 3 Players Timps, Glock, Triangle, Pair of Cymbals and Susp Cymbal

Š 2014 www.superbrass.co.uk

Inchcolm The island of Inchcolm was visited by St Columba in 567 and is mentioned in Shakespeare’s Macbeth. It lies on the stretch of water beyond my balcony, known locally as “Mortimer’s deep”, and on short winter days, the ruins of Columba’s abbey are shrouded in the mists of the estuary and bring a flavour of mystery and legend to my morning coffee. Music comes easily here amidst the crying of the seabirds, and the horn has given its distinctive voice to history, myth and folklore for centuries. Its sound was born in the wide open spaces, and can paint a broad seascape with ease.

Terry Johns The son of a Welsh miner, Terry Johns is a french horn player with a distinguished career as a member of the Royal Philharmonic and the London Symphony orchestras, the Barry Tuckwell horn quartet, the Alan Civil horn quartet, and the Jack Brymer wind soloists. He played with many jazz “greats”, including Tubby Hayes, Kenny Wheeler, Stan Getz, Clark Terry, Phil Woods, and John Dankworth. He is also a composer of music for the studio, television. He has written music for the RPO and LSO brass and he composed the theme and incidental music for Harlech TV’s “The Pretenders”. For this he recruited players from the ranks of the RPO, and the LSO, for the studio orchestra led by Sidney Sax, and conducted the sessions himself. In 1984 the actor Robert Hardy while arranging the memorial service for Richard Burton at the church of St Martin in the fields, invited Terry to arrange the final hymn (Battle Hymn of the republic) for the Rhos Cwm Tawe male voice choir and to compose an obbligato solo trumpet part for Maurice Murphy. The music was completed in a sleeper compartment between Edinburgh and London just hours before the service, with the soloist proof-reading from the top bunk! Terry has recently published the first part of his autobiographical “Letters from Lines and Spaces”. The second part is to be published in 2013.

The following is an extract from "Letters lines and Spaces" vol. 2 by Terry Johns, kindly approved by the publisher.

Dear Roger, I wish you could be here to see this.

The Forth estuary reaches over to Fife from beneath my window, and the sky that on other days hangs heavy and dull as pewter, today is filled with sunlight and hordes of herring gulls in a fantastic aerial ballet.

Halfway across, Inchcolm lies on the water like a giant whale, and the walls of the ancient abbey that she has carried since the twelfth century, stand splendid in the midday sun.

The music is ready at last and shines like brass, my having polished it after breakfast, ready for your recording that I anticipate with childish delight, and I’m sitting here looking out to sea with coffee from faraway Java, and memories of Cardiff from last week.

On Friday the friends of the National Youth Orchestra of Wales held a fundraising lunch at the golf club in Cyncoed and I was asked to read a few extracts from “Letters from Lines and Spaces” and I signed some copies, mostly for old friends, brimming with Welshness, music and wisdom of the fifty intervening years.

There was live music too, effervescent, fresh and youthful from members of the orchestra, and Welsh lamb, turkey and roasted ham, pink and succulent with parsley sauce, followed with bread and butter pudding and ice cream that was as welcome as the spring sunshine after our 4 am departure from Edinburgh with no breakfast.

To have finished the music brings relief, not because of the deadline but because the notes and phrases that were flying around in my head for a month have at last organized themselves and found a home of their own.

I’ll come to the recording and promise to stand on the touchline and behave myself.

Jenners’ customers are already whispering less about independence and more about the Festival as the eternal tramlines plough up the streets and divert the traffic, but nothing could ever dampen the annual Edinburgh euphoria.

Come and see me should the orchestra cross the border.

Yours Ever, Drac

Superbrass Music Since the start of Superbrass in early 2005, I have strived to commission new original compositions and arrangements for brass and percussion.

Superbrass Music is committed to developing accessible new music for brass of the very highest quality.

Illegal photocopying denies composers and publishers of their rightful revenue.

A lack of revenue deters publishers from investing in new commissions.

ALL MUSICIANS suffer the consequences of illegal photocopying.

The future is in your hands.

Now that you have the facts, you can help the future of the creative music world.
