For Koperensemble " De Wâldsang "
" Following a fanfare-like opening, the volume subsides and the canon is introduced via the solo cornet and trombone sections, with quiet echoes of the opening fanfare statements from the middle band. This is a concert opener with significant potential for a band with confident players on all parts ". John Ward - The British Bandsman.
“ Rodney Newton uses Tallis’ famous canon to provide the musical ‘meat’ in a sandwich of brilliant fanfare material, which begins and ends the piece. The scoring is excellent and clarity in performance will be easily achieved. Most levels of band would cope in presenting this music. As a concert ‘opener’ A Tallis Fanfare would certainly impress ”.
Philip Harper – Brass Band World.
