£40.00Dance of the Crows
Composed with Renaissance style dances in mind, the composer imagined attending a dance where everything is beautiful, but the dancers are actually crows! With a melody that is simple and primarily on the beat, the compositions starts calmly but gradually becomes more aggressive. Use this to develop the characteristic low clarinet sound, counting and listening skills, easy dynamic contrasts, and independent percussion playing. A fun opportunity for beginning bands to stretch their wings!

£56.00Moontowers
Used to brighten cities before electric streetlights, Moonlight Towers are rarely seen today. This impressionistic composition about these vanished structures, although written for more advanced ensembles, has only one flute, clarinet, trumpet, horn and trombone part. As a result, smaller bands can play this composition without having to look for a flex-band arrangement. Use this to develop the essential skills of syncopation and counting while also offering the security of only having one part for each instrument voice. An exciting contrasting selection for bands looking for a harmonically interesting composition, this also works well as a contest selection.

Written in memory of an outstanding orchestra conductor, the piece begins longingly with the composer's original material, followed by a clarinet solo of the folk song. A series of harmonic progressions builds to a climactic key change and then concludes with the original material reimagined in a more hopeful tone.

The Dark Crusader - Donald Josuweit
This is the perfect song for teaching 6/8 time. It is all very easy with eighth notes in groups of 3 only. No quarter/eighth rhythms, so it is easy to get the students to feel the triple meter. It is also a great song for getting the first clarinet players to play over the break. For the 1st half of the song, they play low notes. From low A, they press the register key and get the E in the staff, thus making it easy and fun to play the higher notes. It is an exciting work and one of NMP's best sellers. The first trumpet's highest note is C.
