£60.99Tales of the Emerald Isle (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Akey, Douglas
You'll hear the flavor of traditional Irish sounds along with contemporary concert band scoring in this rich and exciting work from Douglas Akey. The 8th note remains a constant thread as the pieces weaves through rapid time signature changes, lilting melodies, and driving rhythmic patterns. The slower middle section features a flowing horn melody and richly scored accompaniment figures. An accelerando and modulation lead to the energetic final segment in this dynamic and well-scored composition. Duration: 5:20

£120.00Tocata & La Tumba de Alejandro Garcia Caturla (from Islas y Montanas) (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Hanson, Shelley
Shelley Hanson originally composed Islas y Montanas for orchestra. Tocata is the first movement and functions as a fanfare or introduction. It features the entire ensemble clapping rhythmic patterns based on the Cuban 3/2-clave rhythm. It's a great way to get the crowd ready for La Tumba de Alejandro Garcia Caturla, originally the fourth movement from Islas y Montanas. It is beautifully transcribed here for concert band. It is a musical rumination about Cuban composer Alejandro Garcia Caturla (1906-1940) who studied with Nadia Boulanger but was later assassinated while presiding as a judge. It opens with a haunting English horn cadenza (alternate cueing provided) followed by harmonic shifts, intense soli writing and driving rhythms that sweep through the ensemble.

£174.99Et in terra Pax (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Van der Roost, Jan
This piece was commissioned by the Concert Band Vlamertinge and is a plea for peace: the title translates as Peace on Earth. This is expressed by means of the vocal contribution expected from the performers. In various places of the piece you can recognize, the words Et In Terra Pax, an appeal for peace, at first jumbled together but later more rhythmically structured, developing into synchronized massed voices. The work starts with a pentatonic theme based on the notes D, E, G, A and C (taken from 'ConCErtbAnD VlAmErtinGE' and the name of the conductor, NiCk VAnDEnDriessChe). A somewhat sad melody is developed during an orchestral climax which leads to the first explosion of sound (measure 62 onwards). Suddenly the opening measures are recaptured, albeit with a differently coloured sound: the words Et in Terra Pax bring the first movement to a close. A restless Allegro follows which abruptly stops and is replaced by a calming chorale-like passage. A narrator reads aloud the poem 'Sonnet' by the young poet Charles Hamilton Sorley, who was killed during World War I. This poem fittingly puts into words the cruelty and senselessness of war. After the expanded recapitulation of the allegro, the broad, almost infinite atmosphere of the beginning returns. Clarinet and English horn play the pentatonic opening theme once more, this time broadly, while the words Et in Terra Pax are repeated again and again by the rest of the ensemble. The composer has purposely avoided all forms of aggression and bombastic sounds regularly used in works about war. Fear of violence and destruction can be heard and felt during the allegro passages. The charged opening makes way in the end for hope: May peacefulness replace cruelty in everyday life, too.Duration: 13:45

Concerto Tricolore (Concert Band - Score and Parts)
Concerto Tricolore is a captivating trumpet concerto in three movements. Each movement has its own musical character resulting in a varied and entertaining piece. The first movement has a vivid and virtuoso character composed in a neoclassical style, movement two is written for flugel horn with the accompaniment functioning as a soft, romantic background for this beautiful instrument. The final movement, with its jazzy character, reflects the atmosphere of an old, smoky jazz club in Chicago. A magnificent new opus in the repertoire for solo trumpet and concert band. 11:00
