Wilten Festival Overture (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Sparke, Philip

To celebrate the 350th anniversary of the Stadtmusikkapelle Wilten in Innsbruck Philip Sparke composed Wilten Festival Overture. A bold fanfare, led by the horns, forms the opening of the work from which an expressive theme unfolds until the full band reaches a climax. Short solo statements from saxophone, horn and trumpet lead to a recapitulation of this theme which melts into a rhythmic Vivo. A robust melody is is then played by the clarinets and taken up by the whole band before a legato figure leads to a cantabile theme, again presented by the clarinets. The original Vivo melody reappears before the opening fanfare is briefly heard and the work comes to an end with a short Coda. A great experience for the whole band!Duration: 8:00

As well as tanks and weapons of all sizes, there is plenty of marching!Movement 2: Spire - Since 1549 Salisbury Cathedral has had the tallest spire in the UK, at 123 metres. Majestic and awesome it soars over the elegant and peaceful Cathedral Close.Movement 3: Sarsen Stones - Stonehenge's vertical Sarsens weigh 20 tonnes and stand 7 metres tall, they are heavy!Movement 4: Moonrakers - From the 15th to the 18th century, there was much smuggling of illegal gin in Wiltshire. The story goes that a group that was trying to rake out barrels hidden in a village pond, and surprised by the Excisemen, feigned stupidity. They told the Excisemen they were trying to rake in the moon, reflected on the ponds surface. They were believed and left in peace! Wiltshire folk can still call themselves Moonrakers.Duration: 11:15

Another very strong concert or contest overture from the composer of "Abington Ridge", Brandon Bay", "Oxford Pointe" and many other quality young band pieces!

Wind (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Jenkins, Darren W.

Wind was originally a part of a multi-movement work based on the elements of the universe. It has been re-scored and edited for symphonic band. Through this piece, the composer has tried to musically represent the many facets of wind: quiet and gentle, a wistful and mysterious breeze, the flurry of a gusting wind, and the calm, somewhat eerie feeling after a storm.Duration 3:30
