Air Wind Band Set (Score & Parts)

One of the best-known and most popular classical themes comes from Johann Sebastian Bach's Third Suite for Orchestra. The Air on a G-string has already been adapted for many instrumental combinations, but arrangements for concert-band are a comparatively rare commodity. This void is filled with this highly competent wind-band setting by Jan Bosveld. Needless to say that the work is suitable for many occasions. 05:30

Air (Dublinesque) (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Joel, Billy - Lambrecht, Barbara

Written with a Grainger-like sensibility and an Irish charm, Billy Joel's emergence as a serious composer includes this beautiful air. The lyric opening, featuring optional piano and solo for English Horn (or Alto Sax), leads to an invigorating dance-like movement with creative rhythmic and harmonic devices. Challenging for each section, yet certainly attainable and well worth the effort.

Air des Bijoux (Jewel Song from Faust) (Vocal Solo with Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Gounod, Charles - Wiffin, Rob

An arrangement of the famous Jewel Song from Gounod?€s grand opera Faust for soprano and band. Faust, a grand opera composed by the French composer Charles-Francois Gounod was first performed in 1859 but was not well received at first. It eventually became a highly popular opera but that popularity waned in the second half of the twentieth century, partly because of the cost of mounting productions. However, the Jewel Song remains a favourite showpiece for sopranos. This arrangement was featured on the RAF Massed Bands Tour 1996 and recorded on Festival of Music 1996 Polyphonic QPRM 125D.
