This song accompaniment was inspired by the forthcoming visit of the Salvation Army Symphonic Wind Ensemble (SASWE) to Brighouse. In essence, it is an upbeat arrangement of All Things Bright and Beautiful with hints of the English Traditional: Floral Dance.
Early trials would seem to indicate it will be very popular with church, garden party and bandstand audiences with minimal rehearsal.
Pom, Pom, Pom
The music is cross-cued to make it viable with 6/7 players. The percussion part adds a lot of character to the music but is not essential. Similarly, the addition of a tambourine etc. is encouraged.

This music was written using the outline of a photo of Porthmeor beach in St. Ives Cornwall. The music is an original tune but draws inspiration from Philippians: 4 v5, “Let your gentleness be evident to all, the Lord is near”
The flowing accompaniment parts, represent the soft breaking of the ocean on the beach whilst the sustained notes represent, the continuous stretch of sand that is shown in the picture. The shape of the melody was created by sketching the outline of the rooftops of houses that overlook the beautiful Porthmeor beach.
The music is designed to be an “aid to Worship” and its thin score allows band and listener to take time out and be transported to their own place of quietness.
