Biography

In 1816 Peter Wharton founded a brass and reed band in the Yorkshire village of Queenshead, later to become Queensbury. John Foster, apart from being the founder of Black Dyke Mills, played French horn in this band. It has been said on many occasions that Black Dyke was formed from it; however this is not strictly true, as “Peter Whartons band went out of existence through loss of members”.

Product Description

CD Description

This CD is the first volume of recordings of compositions by Paul Lovatt-Cooper, percussionist and 'Composer in Association' with Black Dyke Band.

About the Artist

Paul Lovatt-Cooper is one of the hottest young composing talents of his generation. He is currently the Composer in Association with the world famous Black Dyke Band and is currently enjoying performances and premieres of his works all over the world. Paul has enjoyed performances of his works including world premieres in the UK and in countries such as Ireland, Holland, Belgium, Switzerland, New Zealand, Japan, Australia, and the United States. His pieces have been performed in some of the worlds finest concert halls including Birmingham's Symphony Hall, Manchester's Bridgewater Hall, Perth's Concert Hall, Cardiff's St David's Hall, Holland's De Lawei Concert Hall and London's Royal Albert Hall. His composing skills have earned him commissions from various bands including Black Dyke Band, Cory Band, BT Band and the National Children s Band of Great Britain. As well as ensembles Paul has had commissions from international soloists such as Brett Baker, Richard Marshall, John Doyle, David Childs and Owen Farr. Paul was born and raised in The Salvation Army with his parents who were officers. He was quickly introduced into music by all of his family members who were all keen musicians and keen to keep the family tradition going. Paul started his musical career by playing the drums at school at the age of twelve. He joined the school band shortly after, which led to an invitation to play for former British Open Champions Kennedy s Swinton Band. The invitation came from his music teacher and conductor of the band Kevin Bolton. After school Paul continued to study music at the University of Salford. Paul studied percussion under freelance percussionist Andrew Whettam and he majored in conducting under David King and composing with Peter Graham. In his final year Paul added to his degree success by winning the coveted Roy Newsome Conductors Award . Paul started composing whilst at university, studying under the famous brass and wind band composer Peter Graham. Peter had a great influence over Paul as a mentor. Realising Paul s talents Peter worked closely with his student giving as much help and advice in his musical and compositional development. On graduating from university Paul earned his Post Graduate Certificate in Education at Manchester Metropolitan University and became a teacher of Music. In 2003 Paul left Faireys to join the world famous Black Dyke Band as percussionist. The professional conductor Dr Nicholas Childs realised Paul s potential as a composer and soon had the band performing his works, starting with the world premier of his Trombone Concerto Earth s Fury at Birmingham s Symphony Hall which was recorded and broadcast on BBC s Radio 2. Since then Paul has been enjoying both playing and composing successes with Black Dyke and with other ensembles worldwide. In 2005 Paul won the Brighouse and Rastick Band s 125th Anniversary Composers Competition with his piece West Rydings , beating off many entries from all around the world.

Amazing! 6 Oct 2009
Format:Audio CD
Vitae Aeternum IS the best song I have ever heard in my life!I heard it played two years ago a a salvation army camp that I attend every year and it almost brought me to tears. I had to buy this CD as soon as I saw it was on here. The fact that I had to buy it from the UK since I live in the US did not matter to me. Aside from that, Where Eagles Sing, Dream Catchers, and The Big Top are also now my favorites. The alleatoric features in some of his song like The Haunted Halls were spectacular. And Donegal Bay is one of the most beautiful melodies I have ever heard! I'm so glad that the black dyke band was the one preforming these pieces because they really are the best brass band on earth.
