    Terry Treherne is an enthusiastic devotee of brass bands and acquired his musical education through the Salvation Army in Bristol. Later he became a peripatetic teacher of brass and in this capacity formed and conducted many school bands.

    In 1989, Terry was appointed Musical Director of Alder Valley Brass, a championship section brass band based in Aldershot, Hampshire. During his time there, he led them to several contest successes including the Southern Counties Area Qualifying Contest in March 1991 to enable the band to play in the National Championship Finals in the Royal Albert Hall. Terry has conducted several well-known brass bands in various parts of the country, as well as Salvation Army Bands in Exeter and Hillingdon.

    In addition to conducting, Terry has composed and arranged a large number of choral, instrumental and orchestra pieces, although the majority of his works have been for brass bands.

    Concertante

    (March 2005) for Euphonium and String Orchestra.
    The work was written for Charley Brighton, originally for Euphonium & String Orchestra. The Euphonium & Piano version was premiered at St. Mary’s Slough with Malcolm Stowell on Piano on May 6th. 2005.
    Concertante is an extended, single movement pastoral work. It unfolds slowly in 4/4 time (moderato con espressivo), followed by a lilting 6/8 (allegretto con spirito) with decorative semiquaver passages for the soloist.
    The music gently subsides and the main theme (heard briefly in the opening phrase) is heard in full (moderato con espressivo), and developed in various keys.
    The earlier 6/8 (allegretto con spirito) returns, more rhythmic than before and leads into the finale (maestoso), where the main theme once more is heard before a brief coda (allegretto) ends the work.




    The Angel's Song

    for Euphonium & wind band (October 2006)
    This traditional tune is now featured as an expressive solo with light variations, for euphonium & winds for Christmas!
    The melody apears in a simple setting that becomes more decorative in the accompaniment as it progresses. Trumpets and low brass provide the link (and change of key) to verse two where the solo clarinet takes the tune, allowing the soloist to flourish with semiquaver figures up to high C# (tc).
    At score letter F, the tempo slows to Andante and the time signature changes from 3 to 4 beats in the bar for the central, slow middle section, now back in the original opening key of C major. This time the Oboe takes the melody and the soloist shares counter melody phrases with the rest of the accompaniment.
    The brass return at the Moderato (letter G) to once more, lead us back into 3 beats in the bar and the key of A major (tc). The earlier sections return one more time before the soloist is left alone to supply the short coda, joined on the last chord by upper woodwind.

    Also available for tenor horn, baritone or euphonium and brass band.



    Sincerity

    solo for Baritone and brass or wind band (June 2006)
    A solo dedicated to Susan Vel on her birthday. The theme is from the Concertante for Euphonium.
    Also available for Soprano cornet solo with brass band


    Simplicity

    duet for Trumpet & Euphonium (January 2006)
    Written for Mark & Kevin Hill of the U.S.A.
    An easy, gentle flowing duet (andante con espressivo legatissimo) with G being the highest note at the top of the stave for both parts.
    Available with piano accompaniment.
    Also available in a version for Trumpet & Tenor Horn.

    Recollections

    (January 2005)
    A beautiful slow solo written to recall the great times we shared at Alder Valley Brass Band back in 1990.
    A solo line without accompaniment, opens the work before the band enter in bar 5 with a gentle, lyrical setting. A key change keeps the remainder of the work in concert A flat and at bar 69 the soloist is given decorative semiquaver passages over the main theme. These are also used in the coda to bring the work to a flourishing end.
    Available with wind band, brass band, piano, organ or string orchestra accompaniment.

    Recollections wins 1st. Prize!
    Terry conducts the National Champions! Read it     here.
    In the Northop Festival Composers Competition, the brass band version of Recollections won first prize, judged by Paul Mealor and Brett Baker. Read the full story here.




    The Coventry Carol

    (September 2005)
    I asked Terry to write some variations on a Christmas theme, suggesting this traditional carol and the result is a wonderful new solo for Euphonium & Winds.
    The soloist introduces (and closes) with the main melody and embarks on a series of flowing counter melodies over changing accompaniment and key signatures.
    This solo was premiered on Monday, December 12th. with the B.B.C. Elstree Concert Band, conductor Mike Crisp. The concert for the Voice of the Listener Trust took place in St. Cyprian's Church, London.
    Brass Band version now available!



    The Impossible Dream

    (June 2005)
    For Euphonium & winds or brass band, from 'Man of La Mancha' by Mitch Leigh arranged by Terry.
    The beautiful melody unfolds in the opening section followed by a counter melody section from the soloist at letter C. The difference in this arrangement is the setting at letter D of the theme in 12-8 time as opposed to 9-8. Here the soloist offers decorative rising figures (up to high D with a trill) before the lilt of 3 in a bar returns at letter G, a bold scale like figure that links through to a percussion feature at letter H. Here the soloist links semiquaver passages through to the reyurn of the main theme at letter I, climbing to the finale high D to finish.
    For Euphonium & Wind or Brass Band (lower key if desired) accompaniment.



    Speak Softly Love

    (April 2005)
    The well known theme from The Godfather, composed by Nina Rota. Once again, the soloist opens on his own, setting the scene for the haunting theme, played twice by the soloist before a key change brings light, running semiquaver lines up to treble clef high C#. The coda returns to the main theme once again, ending on high D.
    Now available with brass band accompaniment.



    Motivation

    (June 2005)
    An original work for Euphonium & winds, from an idea by Charley Brighton, realised in a wonderful composition by Terry. A high unaccompanied 4 bar phrase opens the work before the main slow theme is introduced in bar 7. A key change offers a counter melody phrase before a bridge passage takes us into the waltz version of the main tune. Once the band have finished its full treatment of the theme, the soloist returns with running semiquaver passages, before another key change and a cadenza, based on the main theme appears. The finale is a Russian Dance with busy semiquaver runs abound before the coda appears as an Andante espressivo, bringing the work to a grand, slow finish on high D for the soloist.
    For Euphonium & Wind Band accompaniment.
