Fox from the North (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - De Haan, Jacob

As with his march Fresena, Jacob de Haan assimilated a well-known folksong from his province of birth (Friesland) into this swinging composition. Both works originate from a festival suite that he once wrote by order of this province.Duration: 2:45

Foxfire

A very spirited and exciting concert march that is perfect for contest or concert performances. Challenging, yet playable by most mid-level bands, the crisp scoring and solid rhythms make this classy march a great teaching tool as well as an attractive performance selection. Also an effective choice for smaller high school bands as it contains only 2 Clarinet, 2 Trumpet and 2 Trombone parts. VERY IMPRESSIVE!

Fra Diavolo Wind Band Set (Score & Parts)

The French composer Daniel Fran?ois Esprit Auber (1782-1871) witnessed many important developments in the history of music ? from Luigi Cherubini to Richard Wagner. His extensive output consisted mainly of operas, but unfortunately today only two of these are still well known, including the comic opera Fra Diavolo. The story concerns Fra Diavolo, a famous Italian bandit and soldier from the late 18th and early 19th centuries, and is one of crime, lust and treachery. The overture has a classical structure and is filled with striking themes and motifs and has a particularly unusual introduction (for the time) with the snare drum taking the leading role! 0:08:22

Fractures in Time (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Sweeney, Michael

Exploring different facets of time, this unique work utilises a wide range of compositional devices, including periods of carefully controlled aleatoric playing, a dizzying effect of multiple ticking clocks, and a variety of moods and time signatures. Densely layered harmonies are contrasted with lyric passages and soaring melodies, and the overall effect of the piece is quite different and striking.Duration: 6:45

Franarormen (Optional Piano Solo with Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Aagaard-Nilsen, Torstein

In 1911, the Australian pianist and composer (and friend of Edvard Grieg), Percy Grainger (1882-1961) went on a tour in Norway. He performed more than forty concerts over a few months. Fifty years later, in 2011, The Royal Norwegian Marine Band made a concert project called "Percy Grainger Revisited Tour". "Franarormen" is a worm or a dragon as described in norse medieval ballads. I have used four different tunes from the region Telemark were Fr?narormen is mentioned in the text. The piece is a musical reflection - not at all as drammatic as the text. It is like a picture of an old fairytale and a dwell on the sound of ancient songs. The piece can be performed without the piano part. Instructions to be found in the percussion parts. - Torstein Aagaard-Nilsen
