Dear Lord and Father of Mankind - Parry arr. Alun Cook

The most beautiful Hymn of all! I have sung it at weddings and funerals (actually I can hardly ever sing it as it chokes me up). The original, Long Since in Egypt's Plenteous Land was part of the Parry's Oratorio "Judith", with these words added later by John Whittier. I wrote this version for my own wedding and it has been used at many others.

As you will hear, the congregation need to be musical or have some sort of direction as there are several traps to fall into, but it is definitely worth it. A single line vocal part is included and there is also a full SATB choir score. It also works well as an instrumental pre-wedding piece or as an interlude.

Fountains' Flourish - Alun Cook

A bright, light, modestly flashy little number! It is part of a set of concert pieces that I am currently working on. It would also fit well (if you are lucky enough to have a 10 piece brass ensemble) for any wedding, The score is quite complex and performers need to be both competent and confident!

Hansel and Gretel - Prayer - Humperdinck arr. Alun Cook

Soft and beautiful, the brass at their most subtle. Arranged for a friend's wedding and used at many more. A timpani parts is provided and although not essential, it does add significantly to the performance.

I Was Glad - Parry arr. Alun Cook

Ultimate wedding music! Composed for the coronation of Edward the VII in 1902, it has been performed at every subsequent coronation in England. Parry's "I Was Glad" is arranged for brass and timpani without a choir, and the lack of the chorus has necessitated some changes towards the end of the piece. Arranged for a friend's wedding, I knew I had some excellent players available and the parts are demanding! (Doubling the horn part is very acceptable).

Jerusalem - Parry arr. Alun Cook

This glorious anthem stirs many a heart. Add to that a 10 brass ensemble and I am in heaven! Very popular as wedding music (for which this arrangement was made) and increasingly popular at other events. It may be performed as a concert piece or as an accompaniment for singers.

Trumpet Tune - Purcell arr. Alun Cook

Many a trip down the aisle has been accompanied by this glorious tune, and here it is arranged for the full splendour of the 10 Piece Brass Ensemble. Very hard to beat!

Trumpet Voluntary (Prince of Denmark's March) - Jeremiah Clarke arr. Alun Cook

TWO VERSIONS are available here. This famous march, used frequently for weddings, features a solo trumpet. The version in the ORIGINAL KEY sounds much better (brighter) but is harder to play as the 2nd trumpet part is high. The soloist usually plays on a D trumpet (part provided). The EASY KEY version is in Bb and simpler for Bb trumpets to play but the texture is a little muddy and I would go for the ORIGINAL KEY version if you have strong players. The two versions are scored differently and parts are not interchangeable
