March for A History of the English-Speaking Peoples (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Walton, William - Noble, Paul

In 1959, William Walton was commissioned to compose music for the opening and closing credits of a television series based on Winston Churchill's History of the English-speaking Peoples. The resulting work, March for the History of the English-Speaking Peoples, was recorded by the London Symphony Orchestra in May of that year and later published by Oxford University Press. However, the television project never materialised, and consequently Walton's score, which might have become one of his more familiar among popular audiences through television exposure, was all but forgotten. With the moderate surge in popularity that Walton's music enjoyed in the last decade of the twentieth century, this and other little-known pieces have become available for consideration. Concert Bands will enjoy the majesty and drama of this piece, very appropriate for concerts, ceremonies, and graduations.

March for a Norwegian Penguin (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Wagner, Douglas E.

A happy march, this original setting was inspired by the gift of a King Penguin to Scotland's Edinburgh Zoo in 1913. Even though there really isn't an actual Norwegian penguin, this particular penguin-mascot has even been honored with knighthood. The story is just as intriguing as the music itself.Duration: 2:00

March from Scipio (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Handel, George Frideric - Sparke, Philip

Handel's opera Scipio was written in 1725 and performed the following year in the King's Theatre, London. Following Handel's death his operas fell into obscurity until the 1960s when they experienced a major revival. This famous march from Scipio has however remained popular since its first performance and has been the Regimental Slow March of the British Grenadier Guards since the 18th century. The march is fairly simple and gives young bands the opportunity to play a well-known baroque melody which should be well within their technical ability.Duration: 2:15
