£87.50Caderna - A. D'Arcangelo / arr. Col. Arnald Gabriel
This Grand Italian March, a longtime favorite of its editor, introduces the new Colonel Arnald D. Gabriel Series. While the march does call for two euphonium parts, there is only one part each for flute, oboe, bassoon, two parts only for B-flat clarinet and cornet, and only three for F horns. Keys are E-flat and A-flat, another strong point for accessibility.

£45.95An Irish Tale
Based on the folk song While History's Muse, this delightful arrangement in 3/4 has all the characteristics of a lighthearted Irish dance. A tambourine and clarinet drone set the stage for the flute melody that is eventually passed throughout the ensemble. A key change to E builds until the piece returns to the lighthearted style of the opening one last time. Great writing for young bands!

£128.00Escapades - Brian Balmages
Premiered at the 2005 Michigan Music Educators Conference, Escapades was commissioned by the Grand Valley State University Symphonic Wind Ensemble under the baton of Barry D. Martin, with Arthur Campbell as clarinet soloist. Since the premiere, it has been scheduled for additional performances in the United States and abroad. The piece gets its inspiration from the title, which can be defined as "a usually adventurous action that runs counter to approved or conventional conduct." This piece is a series of changing "escapades" (or variations) which develop and explore different aspects of the opening thematic material. The entire work builds into a free improvisational section before all elements are united in the final presto.

£53.95Dona Nobis Pacem
In the rich chalumeau register, a solo (or soli) clarinet voice quietly introduces the hauntingly beautiful melody. Layering into the texture, other voices add timbre and depth. The phrasing is exquisite, and teaching opportunities for legato playing abound. A modulation from B-flat to E-flat allows even more sonorities as the work moves to its conclusion. Serious music educators should look closely at this piece. (duration 2:40)
