Deo Gracias (Concert Band - Score Only) - Woolfenden, Guy

Originally written to accompany the Royal Shakespeare Company's production of Henry V, the 3-movement "Deo Gracias" follows the coronation of King Henry V, the victory of the Battle of Agincourt, the betrothal of King Henry and Princess Katharine of France and ends with the optimistic and jaunty 'King's March.'

Der Aufstand (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Higgins, Gavin

Der Aufstand (German for 'riot') is not a descriptive work, nor is it solely based on the riots of 2011. It does, however, draw on the idea of opposing forces and escalating anger. The work falls into two contrasting sections that are linked by a series of repeated, 'screaming' chords. A slow build drives the first section from a single pitch to a blazing orchestral tutti. The second section is a fast and wild series of fanfares and driving rhythms that ultimately cannot be sustained. In many ways this mirrors the first. Both sections open on single tones (Bb and E) and grow to a climax of brass and hammered chords. The first performance took place on the last day of the 2012 Olympic Games. Der Aufstand is a noisy antithesis to the celebratory fanfare. Duration: 10.00

Der Erlkonig (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Watson, Scott

Der Erlkonig, or "The Elf King," is based on Johann Goethe's late 18th-century poem of the same name in which a father and his young son ride home on horseback one dark and eerie night. The father tries to calm the increasingly fearful son by explaining everything the boy reports as simply leaves rustling in the wind or willows moving in the fog. Nonetheless, the father rides faster and faster home only to find the boy is dead in his arms when they arrive. Goethe's dark and Gothic tale is brought to spine-tingling life in this harrowing, fast-paced tone poem for band.Duration: 3:20
