£62.95Prairie Dance (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Docter, Zachary
In Zach Docter's Prairie Dance, every instrument gets a chance to shine. A simple tune starts in the clarinets. As it's passed through the ensemble, it grows louder before culminating in a rhythmic Americana-esque hoedown that would make Copland proud. After this spirited climax, the tune winds down before ending quietly with the clarinets, precisely as it began. Every instrument group is featured in this piece. Transparency allows students to gain experience playing in thin textures, which may be a new experience at this grade level.Duration: 1.45

£104.99Trumpeter's Lullaby (Trumpet Trio with Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Anderson, Leroy - Iwai, Naohiro
According to music critic Mark Azarra, Leroy Anderson (1908-1975) was "one of the four best composers of instrumental music in the 20th century, next to George Gershwin, Aaron Copland and Charles Ives". Many of his nostalgic songs such as Sleigh Ride and Blue Tango are firmly embedded in the American popular music culture. In 1945 at the request of Roger Voisin, the principal trumpeter of the Boston Pops Orchestra, Anderson wrote the Trumpeter's Lullaby. This version for concert band by will be a sure winner.
