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

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

St. Louis Blues (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Handy, W. C. - Brown & Henderson

Based on the famous Canadian Brass version by master arranger Luther Henderson, here is a wonderful adaptation for concert band by Michael Brown. Opening with a bluesy medium swing feel, the tuba section is featured on the melody along with a small group of players. Mid-way through the arrangement, the style changes to an up-tempo Dixieland style with the melody cleverly traded between various sections of the band. This rousing number is sure to be a favourite.
