Letter from Sado is an exciting new piece for young band based on a Japanese haiku of the same name. Sado refers to Sado Island in Japan in which various artists religious and military leaders were sent in exile many years ago. The island hashistorically had a strong community of taiko drummers and as such the piece incorporates optional homemade taiko drums. Blackshaw writes: “To capture the idea of interpretation and the concept of reading between the lines the students are invitedto become decision makers about particular sections in the music. For example the opening and closing sections of the piece use the same material which is a selection of repeated melodic figures. The students themselves decide how to play thesefigures as individuals in small teams and then as a whole band. Their decisions include ideas regarding tempo (how fast?) dynamics (how loud?) and articulation (smooth short or hard?). To inspire them we use the haiku poem; i.e. the openingsection invites the students to play the material as if it were a stormy wild sea and the closing section invites the students to play the same melodic figures but this time draw their inspiration from Heavens River or as we know it the MilkyWay. In-between there is an elaborate heavily textured section that becomes increasingly powerful. The music doesnt rest harmonically until the whole band plays in unison. These multiple layers of sound represent the many thoughts and ideas thatwould have surrounded those individuals sent to Sado Island in exile the final unison is representative of their own breakthrough experience sending them on a pathway to inner peace and acceptance.” Embrace your players creativity offer them yourtrust and see how far Letter from Sado can take your band!

Piano Album. 11 Pieces from the TV series-Little did we know when we set out to make a television series based on the wonderful books by H. E. Bates that The Darling Buds of May would win the hearts of the entire British nation! To capture the public's imagination to such an extent is rare indeed and we have reflected many times since on the possible reasons for this phenomenon. Of course there are the evocative stories and the wonderful characters but perhaps more than anything else it is due to the Englishness of it all.We were anxious to reflect this in the music for the series basing it around the magic of the story and the romance of the Larkins themselves. This also meant allowing ourselves to be influenced by themusical styles popular in the 1950s and inspired by the unique beauty of our countryside. As Pop would say - Perfick!Pip Burley and Barrie Guard The Darling Buds Of May Piano Album contains 11 pieces from the well known TV series the The Darling Buds Of May .
