11. String Sketches Neil Sands
An energetic little quartet in three movements. The first movement combines a stately pizzicato with a high solo for the first violin, which hands over to solos in the other instruments. The second movement is a more intense, brooding piece. The third and final movement is a fast and energetic scherzo. The whole quartet lasts a little over six minutes. I thought these 3 movements were fantastic.....Modern, well formed and complex writing that is palatable for composers and audiences alike. - Nigel Peers Coombes.

12. Suite for Oboe and Harpsichord Neil Sands
A quasi-Baroque suite in four movements for oboe and harpsichord or piano.

The Largo gives the oboe passionate phrases, which begin quietly and gradually grow in volume and intensity before falling away again. A jaunty little Mazurka and a three-part imitative Finale finish the suite. The full score and the oboe part are available together.

14. Were You There? arr. Neil Sands
Were You There? is a powerful but simple arrangement of the very popular spiritual often used around Easter time. It is arranged here for unaccompanied SATB. Eight verses are given but there's no need to sing them all if you want to use a shorter version. On the other hand, using all eight verses can provide a wonderful backdrop for example to the Veneration of the Cross in a Good Friday service. Each verse is about a minute long, so the whole song lasts roughly eight minutes. Were You There? was first performed by the Elizabethan Madrigal Singers in Aberystwyth.

20. Pomp and Circumstance March Number One Elgar arr. Neil Sands
A lively arrangement for choir of Elgar's famous masterpiece. This arrangement was commissioned by St Richard Singers of Chichester, and given its first performance by them. Although it's accompanied, most of the decorative figuration is in the choral parts, to syllables that suggest the instruments that play those lines in Elgar's original. A pronunciation guide is supplied, which includes the cymbal clashes and bass drum bangs the choir have to perform! It's a lot of fun to rehearse and perform, and of course your audience can join in with the Land of Hope and Glory part!

21. Herongate Traditional arr. Neil Sands
A setting of the famous hymn for Eastertide It is a thing most wonderful, for unaccompanied SATB, in which the tune always appears in one part or another all the way through. A tenor solo kicks off, before the choir bring in the second verse at a slightly faster tempo. Verses 3 & 4 are more introspective, with an ebb and flow that follows the natural line of the phrases. Some passionate moments and some reflective sections make this short piece a joy to sing. Herongate is dedicated to Anthony Cartmell.
