About This Work

The lyrics for "John O'Dreams" were created by Bill Caddick, based upon the main theme from the first movement of Tchaikovsky's Symphony No.6 - the Pathetique. The song portrays all people as being equal in sleep with the central character being equivalent to the ‘Sandman', a mythical character who is said to sprinkle sand or dust into the eyes of children at night to bring on dreams and sleep.

Arranged for Concert Band by Geoff Kingston this beautiful melody is slightly slower in tempo than the original song and given the ‘easy-listening' treatment with lush scoring and harmonies. An enchanting setting that will ideal for band of all grades.

SafeMusic: Thanks for the feedback. Will have a closer look at the origins and amend.

On opening the box I was impressed by the quality of the print and paper, also the care taken with the packing to make sure everything arrived in first class condition. All this at a price that should embarass some of the larger publishing houses. - Comment by Colin Cunliffe
