Manhattan (Trumpet Solo with Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Sparke, Philip

Manhattan was commissioned by the United States Army Band for their solo trumpet player Woodrow English, and first performed by them in Carnegie Hall, New York, in November 2003. The two movement work demonstrates both the lyrical and technical abilities of this outstanding player. The 'theme' is a weekend in New York and the opening bluesy movement, Saturday Serenade, describes the city on a Saturday night, perhaps in a smoke-filled jazz bar. While writing Sunday Scherzo, the composer pictured an early morning jog in Central Park.This vivaciously rhythmic second movement ends with an even quicker coda bringing the work to a brilliant close. Each movement can also be played individually when a shorter solo is required. Manhattan is a major work in the solo trumpet repertoire.Duration: 9:30

Manhattan Beach (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Sousa, John Philip - Story, Michael

Although John Philip Sousa is stereotyped as a march writer, he composed music in many forms. But, of course, it's his marches that have brought his name to millions of performers and listeners the world over. Of the hundreds of marches he wrote, many are still among the most performed of the medium. Michael Story has chosen this classic Sousa work and removed the technical difficulties so it can be enjoyed by even the youngest ensemble or band. Relish this music of the "March King"!

Manhattan Pictures (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Van der Roost, Jan

In this colourful composition, Jan van der Roost recreates the energetic and multi-racial city life in Manhattan, using four contrasting movements. The opening movement is rather short and rhythmical. In the second "Picture", a variety of musical entities accumulate into a coloured "sound curtain", on top of which the brass section presents a broad theme. In contrast to the two previous movements, the third movement is extremely quiet, featuring the first flute, clarinet an oboe in broad melodies. Again, the orchestration plays an essential role. Following on a majestic "tutti" (almost "movie-like....) the serenity of the very beginning reappears. Finally, the nervousness and dynamic style of the two first movements come back in an exciting apotheosis with rich and sometimes surprising instrumentation which explores the multiple possibilities of the large symphonic wind band to the full.Duration: 13.00

From the very beginning of this fun piece, the machine tries to put the band on the wrong track, and it almost works. Composer Peter Martin created a charming piece of music, but the question is, does it all end well? Use your imagination and creativity in Manic Metronome! 02:00

Mantua (Concert Band - Score and Parts)

The city of Mantua holds significant historical importance for the southern Italy's region of Tyrol. In this dramatic work Otto M Schwarz tells the tale of the Tyrolian freedom fighter Andreas Hofer who was executed in Mantua in 1809. The composer follows the life of this great folk hero, from his humble beginnings as an innkeeper to his death. This piece has all the energy of an exciting adventure movie - just without the pictures, of course! 14:00
