£60.99Slavonic Rock March
According to his teachers, Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky (1840-1893), was not particularly gifted. His special talents were acknowledged only in 1865 when he had been working for the Ministry of Finances for some years. In 1866 he was appointed teacher at the Conservatory and applied himself to composing. His oeuvre is fairly extensive and many of his compositions receive a high ranking on the international list of classical music, including his six symphonies, solo concertos (violin concerto and piano concertos), ballets (The Nut Cracker, Swan Lake), and his overtures (1812 and Romeo and Juliette). In 1893 Tchaikovsky died of Cholera after drinking a glass of infectedwater. His Slavonic March is a popular concert piece for symphonic orchestra that is still frequently performed in concert halls. David Well arranged the theme and created a contemporary march in rock style. Tchaikovsky once said to an unsatisfied teacher: 'I will be a great composer within 10 years time.'

£48.95The Little Drummer Boy - John O'Reilly
John O'Reilly has arranged the classic Christmas hit for beginning bands in a very special way. Sleigh bells, triangle, and tom tom establish the processional style that is further enhanced by low brass and woodwind open fifths. Upper woodwinds get the first pass at playing this famous melody but trumpets, horns, and low brass also get to be featured as this delightful arrangement progresses. (2:10) Correlates to Book 1, page 18.

£77.50The Vikings - Andrew Boysen
The Vikings is not your traditional march. This dark, angry piece follows all of the traditional march concepts, including the standard form, repeats, key changes, and even a piccolo solo over the trio, but will provide a stunning change of pace from a standard march. (4:10)

Rollercoaster - Jim Mahaffey
This traditional gallop reflects the excitement and thrill of a high-speed rollercoaster ride. The overall ABA ternary form includes a contrasting middle section at the same speed. Using only traditional band keys, this work is an excellent tool for working on key changes, dynamics, and articulations, while developing technical facility for bands of medium ability. A full battery of percussion ensures a thorough workout and is sure to keep each member of your ensemble engaged. (3:10)

Sahara - Roland Barrett
Take a trip across the desert with this new work from composer Roland Barrett. A mysterious introduction sets the mood for an interesting and highly educational aleatoric passage. Easily achieved, students freely improvise on a given set of pitches. As more and more instruments enter, the piece builds until it gives way to a rhythmically energized section beginning with percussion and an ostinato figure in the bass voices. Very easy! (2:10)

Chant and Savage Band - Brian Balmages
Contemporary harmonies and interesting colors are at the center of this innovative work. While well within the ability of young musicians, this piece has an uncharacteristically mature sound that will captivate your audience. After a mesmorizing lyrical opening, percussion begins the savage dance that grows more and more powerful as the piece progresses. Optional percussionists throughout the audience can enhance the entire experience as the dancers continue till utter exhaustion and collapse to the ground. Very compelling! (4:10)
