Squonk Blues (Mythical Forest Creature) (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Buckley, Robert

This quirky, spirited piece is in the style of a blues waltz and based on the mythical legend of the squonk, a forest creature that dissolves into a pool of tears when it is cornered. However, on dark moonless nights when no one is about, they gather together to sing and dance the Squonk Blues! A unique change of pace, this composition uses the first six notes of the B-flat scale.

St Paul's Suite (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Holst, Gustav - Sparke, Philip

St Stephen's Chorale (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Schwarz, Otto M.

As a source of inspiration, the composer used the dazzling, impressive and beautiful world-famous St. Stephen's Cathedral, the Stephansdom, in Vienna. Often seen as a national symbol of Austria, it stands in the heart of Vienna and has 14 bells, each with its own name. At the beginning of the work, you can hear the ringing of the bells. The main melody softly emerges from this soundscape and returns repeatedly in various instrumentations and different harmonisations. Following a fortissimo section, the hymnal melody ebbs and fades away, the same way it appeared at the beginning. St. Stephen's Chorale is a solemn moment of contemplation in your concert.Duration: 7.00

This arrangement is an excellent choice for the developing band. Duration: 2.30

St. James Drive (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Evers, Harm

A visit to the United States inspired Harm Evers to write this march. It has thus become an "American style" march-a happy "Swing March." The Pithy rhythmical melody and the simple harmony come together in a merry whole. The melodic counterparts in the tenor register, the dynamic contrasts, and the varied instrumentation keep the march exciting from the beginning to the end, both for the listener and the musician.Duration: 3:00
