Hannaford
Overture
NMPL105
for concert band (also available for brass
band)
by J. Scott Irvine
Written originally for Canada’s well-known Hannaford Street Silver Band in celebration of the International Year of Canadian Music (1986), the Hannaford Overture is a showpiece full of melody and motion. The main theme, slower middle section, and reiteration are challenging and interesting to every member of the band. The piece builds effectively to its closing, leaving a lasting impression of its memorable tune. A solid bass section is recommended.
A recording of the brass band version is available on CD by The Hannaford Street Silver Band (CBC SMCD 5103).
This piece is also available for brass band.

Notes on Hannaford
Overture
Hannaford Overture was written for the Hannaford Street Silver
Band of Toronto, Canada in celebration of the International Year of Canadian
Music (1986) and was premièred by them in October of that year
under conductor Wayne Jeffrey. The work is dedicated to the members of
the HSSB, who have performed it across Canada and who have also recorded
it under conductor Stephen Chenette for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation’s
SM 5000 Series (CBC Records SM 5103).
My intention was to write a light, “audience-friendly” Canadian concert opener, reminiscent of some of the English and American band music I enjoyed playing in my formative years. In 1990, at the urging of several colleagues, I scored a second version of the work for concert band.
