Whispering Wind Wind Band Set (Score & Parts)

"Don't listen to anyone's advice, but listen to the lessons of the wind passing and telling the history of the world." Claude Debussy Since the dawn of time, the wind has played an important role in all civilisations. Worshipped as a deity, "mastermind" of poetry, driving force, or heaven's messenger, the wind took on the most varied shapes according to the era and people. In Claude Debussy's time, music listened to the voice of nature, and imagination found its primary rights again. This importance of wind was the inspiration for Maxime Aulio's work Whispering Wind with its suspended atmospheres, vaporous lines and luminous colours. The wind caresses the canvas. A fascinating new work for concert band. 0:06:15

Whispers from Beyond (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Galante, Rossano

Composed as a tender tribute to a lost friend, this is meant not to be a mournful piece, but rather a joyous remembrance of a life ended too soon. The work features two primary themes that ebb and flow as the music progresses. Soaring melodic lines and rich orchestration help bring character and distinction to this effective and emotional piece. Duration: 4:00

Whispers of the Wind

A very impressive composition for younger bands which is both distinctive and unique! Starts out with a slow and reflective introduction where you can actually hear the sound of the wind whispering before diving into the syncopated rhythms and powerful melodies of the allegro section. Shaffer's compositions like "Fire Dance" , "Tribal Drums" and "Stargazer" have been very popular with bands at this level, and this is very possibly his best ever! Very highly recommended!

Whistle for a Penny Wind Band Set (Score & Parts)

The title Whistle for a Penny can have different meanings, but brings especially to mind the difficult relationship between art and money... After a short introduction, the main theme is heard. This theme is an excellent tune to whistle, by the way. After lots of variation in the instrumentation, as well as contrasting melodies and themes, the finale sees a return to the opening bars of the composition. 03:20
