Composed by Gustav Holst. Arranged by Michael Brand. SpectraFlex Band Series. Score. G & M Brand Music Publishers #91066. Published by G & M Brand Music Publishers (CN.91066).
Set in three movements – Scherzo, Nocturne, & March – "A Moorside Suite" is an extraordinary mature work for band from a master composer. There is very little fortissimo writing and there are no semiquavers at all. Instead, Holst has written clean melodic lines with each part being woven into a texture based on the modal lines of English folk music; but these represent its stylistic origin rather than using actual folk tunes as in Holst’s earlier band writing. The counterpoint and part writing makes it an ideal piece to arrange for Flexible Band, but the conductor is required to make judicious choices of the instruments available in the Ensemble in Solo passages.
