£58.50Peer Gynt Suite (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Grieg, Edvard - Sayre, Charles
Edvard Grieg's early musical training took place in Germany, but philosophical constraints sent him back to his native Norway, where he began what is now referred to as the Norwegian School. He is best known for his Peery Gynt Suites, No. 1 & No. 2, originally written as orchestral suites and as incidental accompaniments for Ibsen's epic drama. This sparkling scoring includes Morning Mood, The Death of Ase, Anitra's Dance, and In The Hall Of The Mountain King. Duration: 5.00

£154.99Symphonic Variations (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - De Haan, Jacob
This composition is based on a passacaglia theme, in which artistic perfection, symphonic drama and oriental melody lines play a role. The passacaglia is originally a dance made up of a series of variations above a bass line constantly present as an ostinato. It is not in this sense that the "Symphonic Variations" are in the passacaglia form but in the sense of the open form of the variations. Jacob de Haan, himself originally an organist, took his inspiration for this piece from the famous passacaglia for organ in C-minor by J.S. Bach. Following the introduction of the passacaglia theme (in the bass) the entry by the trumpets and trombones forms the majestic start to a musical adventure, in which this theme (often fragmentary) returns in variations. Then there follow two faster movements with dramatic contrasts and virtuose passages. Particularly striking here is the use of two characteristic intervals from the beginning of the theme namely the minor second and the augmented fourth. An apause in the composition comes in the slow bridge where a syncopated bourdon (perfect fifth) is constantly repeated. The tension grows in dynamics and harmony, and the oriental-flavour becomes obvious in the melody. We arrive at a faster movement via an accelerando, in which a perpetuum mobile based on the passacaglia theme is central. Finally the whole flows into a martial theme, in which the ostinato accompaniment n the descant derives from the passacaglia theme.Duration: 11:15

£66.95Cumberland Cross (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Strommen, Carl
You'll really get a nice sound with this one! Carl's original work explores the rich American folk style in two sections. The first has broad, moving harmonies under a Shenandoah-like melody, and the second a lively dance reminiscent of Copland. Cumberland Cross is not too difficult, yet very impressive!Duration: 3.30

£59.95A Handel Suite (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Johnson, Stuart
The three movements of this suite have been carefully selected from a collection of keyboard music, presumably written by Handel for the harpsichord. The Serenade (2nd movement) was originally a courtly dance and should be performed at a stately pace. The third movement is a three-part fugue, robust and contrapuntal, providing interesting parts for everyone.
