Llwyn Onn
(The Ash Grove)

Brian Hogg

Program Notes
The introduction, Misterioso, of this setting tries to convey a quiet country scene. The English title, The Ash Grove, can be used to conjure to a picture of morning mist rising with the sun, through an avenue of trees. The piece should be played with serenity and a calmness found in such an imaginary countryside picture.

The work was constructed to feature the low brass of the band, yet still maintain interest for the other players. Throughout the piece tone quality and sound is utmost. There are not technically difficult passages.
