Dream, Imagine, Live - Larry Clark
The inspiration for this piece comes from one of Henry David Thoreau's most famous quotes - Go confidently in the direction of your dreams! Live the life you've imagined. It was Thoreau's vision that we contemplate a simpler life and be deep thinkers about what we want our lives to be. The piece is divided into three distinct sections based on the same three-note motive. The first section is intense and bold, the second is introspective and lyrical and the third is dance-like, almost reminiscent of a Celtic folk song, in lilting in 6/8. This perfect contest or festival selection will highlight your band's strengths.

£121.00Variations On A Legend - Robert E. Foster
Few concert band works boast the swagger and panache of this exhilarating composition! A dramatic fanfare moves into a rollicking 6/8 journey, with the flavor of a Celtic jig. After a slower more expressive section, there is a short fughetta, followed by the melody stated with increasing intensity to a vibrant finish.

Dublin City is a robust medley comprising three colorful and traditional Irish folk tunes. It opens with the tuneful Molly Malone, the unofficial anthem of Dublin City. Next is the beautifully lyric and somewhat melancholy The Foggy Dew that chronicles the Easter Uprising of 1916. The close is the boisterious and rollicking Spanish Lady, resplendent with its lilting melody and Celtic drumming.

£104.99The Green Hill - Bert Appermont
This piece was commissioned by Swiss Euphonium virtuoso Erich Schmidli. Bert Appermont dug deep into Celtic music for inspiration and created a fantasy that shows off the incredible, but often overlooked, versatility of the Euphonium. Charming lyrical melodies, virtuosic runs and exciting, colourful tuttis create plenty of contrast in this exciting work. The difficulty level for the soloist and band means almost any band to perform this piece and showcase their Euphonium player.
