about

With over 2 hours of content in 4 parts of around 30 minutes each (download); 38 tracks (Double-CD), this album includes twelve new arrangements for Quartet with The South Downs Ensemble alongside ten of the original pieces recorded by The Full Circle Quartet on their album “The South Downs Suite”, all put into context by Mandy Pannett's recordings of her poems from the book of the same name and field recordings of the sounds of the South Downs.

The titles of the new pieces refer to the poems by Mandy Pannett and to the paintings of Polly Dutton that are also featured in the book. Book available separately on The South Downs Suite page.

The collaboration comes full circle.

The South Downs Ensemble has The Full Circle Quartet at its core, with additional parts written for flutes, clarinets, cornets, flugelhorns, trombones, euphoniums and percussion, both tuned and untuned.

New arrangements for the Ensemble expand the music already composed and recorded by the Quartet creating companion pieces for many of the Quartet tunes. Each arrangement contains elements borrowed and/or adapted from the music on the Quartet album. The sound of the Ensemble refers back, nostalgically, to the many village silver bands heard growing up in Sussex in the 1960s and 1970s.
