Surprises

What a surprise! An absolutely delightful original composition for mid-level bands which features a bright tempo, mixed meters, independent playing in the parts and an eclectic style that jumps around all over the place! Everyone in the band has interesting parts to play and there are ample percussion parts to keep all your drummers interested. Will challenge groups at this level but it's well worth the effort and your students will love it! It's unique and it's cool! Very highly recommended!

Survivors (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Deleruyelle, Thierry

Survivors is a concert march that is both luminous and tuneful. The brilliance of the brass, combined with the expressiveness of the woodwinds, gives this work a clear modernity. It was composed for and dedicated to those wounded in the army, paying tribute to their courage, resilience, and inner strength. Through a musical style rich in emotion and power, this work celebrates the "survivors" - those who, despite the hardships of war and injury, continue to pick themselves up, overcome adversity, and find within themselves an unshakeable determination. Survivors embodies both the enormity of the struggle and the hope of reconstruction, a march for those who have been wounded but who, through their courage, have become survivors.This concert march was commissioned by the French Army bands on the initiative of their musical director, Maurice Marc.Duration: 4.30

Susato Variations (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - De Haan, Jan

Tylman Susato (circa 1500-1561) was one of the worlds first music publishers and seller of musical instruments. He left behind several collections containing arrangements of Dutch songs and dance and also published several of his own works. Three of these, published in 1551, were called Musyck Boexken, or music book. Almost 500 years later, Jan de Haan has used one of these melodies, Mohrentanz, for this theme with three variations.Duration: 6:45

Sussex Carol (Concert Band with Optional Choir - Score and Parts) - Noble & Willcocks

The Sussex Carol is a Christmas carol popular in Britain, sometimes referred to by its first line On Christmas night all Christians sing. Its words were first published by Luke Wadding, a 17th-century Irish bishop, in a work called Small Garland of Pious and Godly Songs (1684). It is unclear whether Wadding wrote the song or was recording an earlier composition. Both the text and the tune to which it is now sung were discovered and written down by Cecil Sharp in Buckland, Gloucestershire, and Ralph Vaughan Williams, who heard it being sung by a Harriet Verrall of Monk's Gate, near Horsham, Sussex (hence Sussex Carol). The tune to which it is generally sung today is the one Vaughan Williams took down from Mrs. Verrall and published in 1919.
