£51.00The Voyage
At first lush and mysterious, then light and uplifting, The Voyage begins. Newcomer George Sweet brings us some invigorating ideas and harmonic treatments, as well as shifting rhythmic feels from 4/4 to 3/4 time. There is some great interplay between various sections of the band that changes from light woodwind sounds to strong brass interjections. George is a composer to watch in the years to come.

£31.00Error Detection - Student's Edition - Robert Spradling
The Error Detection: Exercises for the Instrumental Conductor texts are designed to improve the critical listening skills of the conducting student through real music excerpts that contain planted errors in the parts for the conductor to find. Both books contain 54 excerpts from standard band literature from grades 2 to grade 6 so students gain knowledge of real music they can use later, not just non-musical etudes. The teacher's edition contains over 350 pages of materials with analysis sheets and answer keys to help the conducting teacher to easily evaluate the student's progress. The teacher's edition also comes with a CD-ROM containing all of the instrumental parts for all of the musical excerpts as PDF files, so the teacher can just print the amount of parts needed for each example, and the examples are arranged to sound satisfying with as little as five players. The Error Detection program has been tested for over 3 years at major university programs like the University of Minnesota, Illinois State University, and the College-Conservatory of Music at the University of Cincinnati.

£87.95Phoenix Fanfare & Journey Into Light (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Holmes, Chris
A Phoenix Fanfare opens with bold, rhythmic motifs built around the interval of a perfect fourth, a musical gesture symbolising strength and renewal. These rhythmic ideas are energetically passed around the wind band, creating a sense of movement and vitality. As the piece progresses, textures build and interplay intensifies, culminating in a striking moment where glissando horns soar above the ensemble--this feature should be given due prominence, as it evokes the mythical rise of the phoenix and adds a dramatic flourish to the conclusion.In contrast, Journey into Light captures the feeling of a 'return to normality' following the lifting of COVID restrictions. The music begins with a short passage in a reflective minor key, representing the uncertainty and isolation of lockdown. Gradually, optimism emerges as the harmony brightens and the tempo increases. The arrival of the presto section marks a turning point--joyful, exuberant, and full of life. From here, the music remains uplifting, celebrating the renewed freedom to rehearse, perform, and connect through music.This piece would make an ideal concert opener or start to a second half of a concert.Duration: 3.30

£36.95I Don't Know Why! (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Wiffin, Rob
I Don't Know Why is an unashamed homage to Stevie Wonder although there is not a note of his music in it. The piece follows the format of verse, chorus and then a shout chorus. It mostly needs a light, swing feel to it except for a bridge section (letters B and F) which needs to be straight. The shout chorus is a little gymnastic but apart from that it should be fun to play and hopefully not too technically challenging.Duration: 3.00

This iconic song has been a hit over many decades and even featured in the 2024 film Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice. Starting off as a rock ballad it transitions to a driving double-time rock feel that builds in intensity before returning to a ballad feel that brings it home with relentless energy and emotion. All sections have great and engaging parts. This one will bring the house down!Duration: 3.15

£39.95Of Shepherds and Kings (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Wiffin, Rob
This salsa is a not-too-serious look at the shepherds and kings at the Christmas nativity scene. The shepherds are represented by the carol While Shepherds watched their flocks by night, appearing here in a minor key. They are a rather earthy crew as opposed to the more refined kings with their carol We Three Kings of Orient. At one point the shepherds try to show that they should not be underestimated with their allusion to Henry Purcell's song Nymphs and Shepherds but the arguments between the two groups continue to the very end.Technically the piece is not that difficult but it needs the appropriate rhythmic feel. There are several add-on latin percussion parts which are not essential but will add to the spirit of the music if you have the players available.Duration: 3.30
