Nurture
“There are some people for whom the act of nurturing is innate.The work they do is often unheralded, acknowledgement of their effort the last thing on their mind. But nurturers carry pain, too. Their own burdens, anxieties and hardships often take a back seatto that nurturing impulse. This piece is a meditation on that idea; that some people, not without their own deep personal obstacles, can’t help but live out the powerful instinct to hold those around them in a warm embrace of care.” ~Edward Fairlie Dur: 4:50 (Recorded by the Eltham High School Symphonic Band, directed by Rick Plummer, guest conductor Edward Fairlie)SKU: HL48024110 -

Storm and Urge
Edward Fairlie’s Storm and Urge is a significant work for wind band and portrays a journey of emotional turbulence. The title comes from the German “Sturm und Drang,” a literary and musical movement of the late 1700s which focused on extremes of emotion. Opening with a simple and reflective theme, we are then taken through a range of emotional settings from uncertainty to resistance, and then calm resolve and self-knowledge. With a variety of textures and vivid imagery, this is a masterful work for the contemporary ensemble. Dur: 9:00(Recorded by the University of Minnesota Wind Ensemble – Ingrid Martin, conductor)
