£6.95Norwegian Colors - Music by Jan Eriksen
Alfred is pleased to make this refreshing work by a renowned Norwegian composer available for the first time to concert bands around the world. Its simple and modest opening evolves into a bright-hued Trio with changing tonalities and interesting polyrhythms that migrate between sections. Individual parts are not difficult to play, yet imaginative orchestration makes the piece sound more complex than it actually is. (Grade 4---Medium)

£87.50Funeral March of a Marionette - By Stephen Squires
Famous for its use as the Alfred Hitchcock television theme, Charles Gounod's Funeral March of a Marionette was originally conceived by the composer as a tongue-in-cheek parody of a music critic that he had come to detest. Now, Stephen Squires has skillfully arranged this work for Grade 3 bands. Interpreted with a sly wink of the eye, this classic novelty should be great fun for players and audience alike!

Two Christmas Miniatures - Arr. Dave Black
The Christmas carols of Alfred Burt are wonderfully different and fresh. In this arrangement, the first for concert band in thirty years, Dave Black presents a medley of two of the most popular Burt Christmas carols. A rollicking 6/8 rendition of "Caroling, Caroling" is contrasted by the lush and sensitive chorale "Some Children See Him." The rubato second section offers plenty of opportunity for expressive phrasing and gives your entire band a chance to show off their musicality and sound!

Pomp and Circumstance March No. 4 - By Edward Elgar / arr. M.J. Retford and Alfred Reed
Of all four marches that came after the overwhelmingly successful No. 1, March No. 4 seems to many people to be most closely related in general effect to the first. Just why this should be so is difficult to say. All five of the Pomp and Circumstance Marches are cast in basically the same form, a two-part A-B-AB, with the "A" part energetic and moving briskly along, and the "B" bringing a change of feeling (even though no actual change of pace is indicated) with the so-called "great tune" by way of contrast. However, it has become almost a tradition with Nos. 1 and 4 to play the final section in a slower tempo, probably in respect of Elgar's tempo marking "Grandioso" at this point. Certainly both of these "great tunes" could, and have, been considered as portraying musically the very essence and glorification of British majesty and power at the time they were written.

Wapawekka (White Sands) - By Alfred Reed
Commissioned by the Saskatchewan Arts Board, this work is subtitled "A Symphonic Rhapsody for Concert Band based on Canadian Indian themes." Wapawekka, in the language of the Cree Indians, means "white sands," and is the name given to a fairly large lake and small mountain range high up in northeastern Saskatchewan. The music is a free form, a symphonic rhapsody, developed from four main themes derived from ancient Cree tribal rhythms and dances.
