£76.99Discover the Wild - Kenneth Fuchs
Composed in the form of a three-part orchestral overture, this powerful work opens with the horn section stating the main theme, which is based on the interval of a perfect fourth. A beautiful and lyrical middle theme creates amesmerizing and calming effect before the opening theme and faster pace makes a return for the dramatic finish. Concisely scored with an intriguing variety of textures, this is an impressive work for contest or festival. Dur: 4:40(Grade 4)

£309.99Vulcan - Michael Daugherty
(2014) Vulcan for Concert Band is Grammy award winning composer Michael Daugherty's first work for the high school and intermediate level college band. The work is a colorful homage to Gene Roddenberry's interstellar universe as depicted in the classic American television series Star Trek (1966-69). The title refers to the fiery planet Vulcan, home world of half-human, half-Vulcan Mr. Spock. As the rational-minded science officer aboard the starship Enterprise (commanded by the hot-blooded Captain James T. Kirk), Mr. Spock grapples with the fascinating predicament of making decisions predicated on human emotion versus Vulcan logic. Daugherty has composed stirring, yet highly structured music that alludes to the Vulcan Pon Farr ritual, Vulcan telepathic mind-melds, and the volcanic planet itself. At the the Ann Arbor, Michigan world premiere (utilizing the combined forces of the Pioneer, Huron and Skyline High School bands), Vulcan was an immediate hit and will surely become one of Daugherty's most performed works. Instrumentation The number of players doubling each part is at the conductor's discretion, but should be in keeping with a balanced sound.

Mystic Mountain Legend - Tom Lazarich
This work is a one-movement piece with distinct sections. Beginning with a maestoso opening statement, the work then moves directly into a lighter 2/4 section which then leads to a 3/4 section that provides a lyrical rubato interlude back to the maestoso ending.

£149.40Lokk, dans og vise - Bjørn Mellemberg
This piece is a collection of three folk songs from Nord-Gudbrandsdal in Norway. To the Conductor: First part (from bar 8): The trumpets presents the theme while the horns and trombones represents a kind of echo "from a distance" and softer in style. Part two from bar 19: This is a dance in which the first and third beat are the most important. In part 3 (from bar 44) the phrasing should be 4+2+4+2.

£71.50Halloween Waltz In Five - Robert E. Foster
Ghouls, ghosts and goblins try their best to dance their Halloween night away, but try as they may, it just doesnt turn out right. This quirky tune lets your band frighten and delight your audience with screams, blaring noises and an odd sense of waltz time (3/4 and 2/4 mixed meter). It gives you a great chance to teach mixed meter, and gives your students something really fun to play!
