'A World Within� is a one-movement work and is dedicated to Foden�s President, Peter Fletcher. Premiere recording by Foden�s Band, conducted by Mike Fowles, on the CD �A World Within� (World of Brass DOYCD276).

A simple theme is stated by the Soprano Cornet before an ostinato figure in 6/8 time emerges (Vibraphone, Horns and muted 2nd and 3rd Cornets) over which firstly Solo Cornet, and then both Solo Cornets (1 & 2), play a sustained melody. A shift between major and minor harmonies characterises the �B� section, before making way for a virtuosic Flugel solo. When the Flugel leaves centre stage the front line Cornets take over, leading to a full bodied reprise of the �B� section. The low brass bridge the gap between what is in effect the end of the first main section of the piece and the second section.

The initial Soprano Cornet theme is heard (Cornet, Horn, Euphonium) in various guises and colours, interrupted by a brief �hymn-like� statement before taking existing harmonic fragments and moving into a slow blues-influenced section featuring the Trombones, and in particular a soaring Trombone 1 solo.

The constant time shift between 3/4 and 6/8 that has been prevalent through-out �A World Within�, re-emerges towards the end of the �slow, heavy blues� section, leading into an intricate almost fugue-like passage (Horn and Baritone leading the way).

Out of this comes a short transitional bridge section that leads us back to the (transposed) original 6/8 time theme and feel, this time scored with a bold directness that leads to a powerful 2/4 time passage. The climax of �A World Within� is heralded by one dark and dissonant chord that is repeated three times. A flashback moment occurs where the �hymn� is stated (muted Cornets) in a bitonal harmonic world. A final statement emerges from the denseness of sound, a re-working of the initial theme (Solo Cornet), with the last work being left to Solo Eb Bass.

Percussion: Timpani, Vibraphone, Glockenspiel, Orchestral Bass Drum, Suspended Cymbal, Drum Set, Marimba, Tubular Bells, Glockenspiel, Pin Chimes

seView Scorch plug-in Viewer help

Which method of viewing music should I use?

Score Exchange has two methods of display previews of music: seView which uses regular html and javascipt and the Scorch plug-in from Avid which needs to be downloaded and installed onto your computer. Both have advantages and disadvantages:

seView

seView, is the most compatible option. You should be able to view music on all modern web browsers including most mobile devices. Even if your device does not support javascript you should still be able to preview at least page one of the music.

You do not need to install any additional software to use seView.

Scorch

Scorch is a free plug-in from Avid for displaying and printing music. It can also play the music that you're seeing. Scorch generally works well if you're using a windows computer, but is currently not compatible with modern Mac computers or mobile devices.

If your web browser does not install Scorch automatically, you can click here to download and install scorch manually.
