£110.00Prelude to Richard III (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Walton, William - Noble, Paul
In 1955, Walton received two honorary doctorates: from the Universities of Cambridge and London. He also composed this Shakespeare film music for Laurence Olivier, Richard III, one of three Shakespearean film scores by Walton. The music in Prelude to Richard III is not duplicated in A Shakespeare Suite from Richard III which follows next in sequence. Each piece is a complement to the other, and would be a perfect pair on a concert program.

Prelude, Opus 28, No. 4 - Chopin, Frederic
One of Frederic Chopin's best known works, Prelude, Op. 28, No. 4, presents emotion-packed performance opportunities for bands at all levels. This new Ed Huckeby transcription for band provides an almost literal translation of Chopin's original work with tremendous musical challenges in both the interpretive and dynamic realms, providing the ensemble an opportunity to explore musical possibilities which might be less attainable in a more technical piece. The recognizable melodic and harmonic structures will make this piece a real "hit" with concert audiences and provides an opportunity to teach the musical styles of the greatest 19th century composer of piano music. Great music!

£90.00Prelude: 49th Parallel (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Williams, Vaughan - Noble, Paul
Composed in 1941 for the film 49th Parallel - The Invaders, the drama and depth of the music was intended to influence the United States, which was then neutral, to enter the war. The title relates to the border between the U.S. and Canada. The power, drama, and technical accessibility of this piece should be one that all bands would take great pride in performing.

£89.99Preludio All' Atto I (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Verdi, Giuseppe - Cesarini, Franco
Ernani (1844), Giuseppe Verdi's fifth opera, is based on the homonymous tragedy by Victor Hugo. Verdi's success with Ernani, as well as Nabucco and I lombardi alla prima crociata, can be ascribed to two distinct ideas: the melodic idea and the patriotic idea. The melodic idea is very important to move and touch the audience, while the patriotic idea is the source of enthusiasm and emotions. Approximately ten years elapse between two similar stories: the one of the outlaw Ernani and the one of Manrico, the troubadour. In the prelude to Act I, in only three minutes, Verdi has succeeded in skilfully concentrating the main elements of the entire drama. One can clearly observe the themes of love, oath, and death.Duration: 3:00

£89.99Preludio All' Atto II (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Verdi, Giuseppe - Cesarini, Franco
For the first draft of the libretto of Un ballo in maschera (1859), Giuseppe Verdi drew his inspiration from the grand-opra Gustave III by Auber, an opera performed for the first time in Paris in 1833 that depicted the assassination of the King of Sweden. However, censorship, first in Naples and then in Rome, intervened and imposed heavy modifications. Perhaps because it was too demanding, Verdi showed no intransigence with the requests coming from Naples and refused to alter the libretto. On the other hand, he yielded to the requests of the Roman authorities and agreed to change the site of the action and the identity of the protagonists. Consequently, the scene moved from Stockholm to Boston and King Gustav became the Count of Warwick, Governor of Massachusetts.The prelude to the second act is very short and introduces the scene at the place where the scaffold stands. In only a few measures, Verdi skilfully succeeds in condensing the interior restlessness of the protagonists, alongside a prayer of hope.Duration: 2:15

Premier Concerto (Concert Band - Score and Parts)
Paul Gilson's Premier Concerto from 1902 is one of the first compositions for saxophone.
