£296.50Celtic Scents - Kazimierz Machala
Celtic Scents is an amazing suite of wonderful musical scents (wildflowers, herbs, and trees) unified by the brilliant imagination of world-renowned teacher, performer and composer Kazimierz Machala, and the familiar sounds of Celtic folk music. This completely original work of seven movements is reminiscent of Grainger'sLincolnshire Posy, including a very creative and enjoyable harmonic palette. The composition requires a full wind band and takes advantage of colorful orchestration to link each movement more closely to the scent it represents. While Machala composed Celtic Scents originally for orchestra, he has carefully and artistically re-orchestrated the work for the modern wind band. Celtic Scents will best suit performances by collegiate and professional wind bands around the world due to the advanced technical and musical requirements. There is absolutely no doubt that audiences and performers will enjoy their time spent with this joyful and engaging composition.

£67.95Aunt Rhodie's Diet - Joseph Compello
Aunt Rhodie's Diet is a sequel to the incredibly popular Aunt Rhodie's Appetite. Both arrangements are novel settings in which a beginning band can perform the standard folk songs found in the first few pages of most band methods. Because they are so easy to play, these arrangements by themselves would not make much of a concert, even for a beginning group. However, when used as incidental music to the story, the songs become sufficiently interesting to the audience, without taxing the capabilities of students who have only been playing for about 10 to 12 weeks.

£59.95Homecoming - Joseph Compello
Use this delightful original march as your students' first experience with the traditional march form. The piece is tuneful and energetic, just like more difficult marches, but the technical demands are kept at the level of a beginning student. You will enjoy the use of the popular folk song as the melody for the trio.

£61.95Trolls! - Peter Terry
Trolls are magical beings in Scandinavian folk tales that are known for being slow and not particularly bright. This piece shows both sides of the story: trolls as the destructive, brutal thugs of the magical world, and the somewhat silly and dim-witted creatures found in books and movies. This is Peter Terry's first piece in the Carl Fischer catalogue.

£59.95Adventure in India - George Sweet
Adventure in India was written to evoke the musical styles heard in Bollywood movie soundtracks. This style of music has strong Indian folk influence, but a variety of other world music is incorporated into the piece. This makes the piece fresh and different from the normal beginning band pieces, and with the more exotic percussion it truly has the flavor of music from India.
