£82.50Rhapsody On A French Hymn - David Gorham
The unifying theme of this striking concert work is the Picardy Hymn, better known by the 1906 setting by Ralph Vaughn Williams entitled Let All Mortals Keep Silence. This historic melody is effectively displayed throughout in various instrumentations and styles that create a concert masterwork. Thoroughly musical, it exhibits the sonority and color of concert band instrumentation, and the variety of styles makes it perfect for concerts and festivals.

£71.50Dreidl Adventure - Scott Watson
A dreidl is a four-sided toy marked with Hebrew letters and spun like a top in a childrens game of chance. Playing with a dreidl at Hanukkah can be more than a game; in the mind of a child it can be an adventure. This fanciful premise inspired this spirited setting with the intense rhythmic drive of the beloved melody SVivon (The Dreidl), all within the ability level of younger players.

£82.50Dark Prophecy - Gary D. Ziek
Dark Prophecy begins in an intense, agitated manner that projects ominous portents of danger. It then transforms into an urgent dance, this time with the original melody played in a savage manner, before settling into a calm, more reflective mood. At this point, long soaring melodies take over, dominating throughout and leading to a moment of triumph at the conclusion of the section. This feeling is short-lived - the music takes a violent turn with the reappearance of the original thematic material. The piece then pushes to a fearsome conclusion that seems to pose the question, "Has the prophecy been fulfilled?"

£104.50Ancient Hymn Tune Variants - John Prescott
The medieval plainchant melody Divinum Mysterium is used as the source material for this piece, as its melodic elements are constantly varied throughout. Beginning in a slow, stately tempo as it might have been heard in a cathedral in the middle ages, the initial setting ultimately gives way to fast, driving rhythms which support more and more variations on the tune. The arch-like form of the plainchants final phrase is mirrored in the brasses three times within the piece, the most dramatic of which occurs near the end as Ancient Hymn Tune Variants reaches its exciting and triumphant conclusion.

£104.50Bonnie Annie Laurie March - John Philip Sousa
According to Sousa scholar Paul Bierley, Sousa often remarked that the old Scottish ballad Annie Laurie was the most beautiful of all folk songs. In 1883 he wrote the march Bonnie Annie Laurie based on this favorite folk song. In 1880 Sousa became the fourteenth leader of the United States Marine Band, and this was undoubtedly one of the marches that he composed during this period. Highlighted and enhanced in this march-style setting, this wonderful melody never sounded better.

£104.50Dublin City - Porter Eidam
Dublin City is a robust medley comprising three colorful and traditional Irish folk tunes. It opens with the tuneful Molly Malone, the unofficial anthem of Dublin City. Next is the beautifully lyric and somewhat melancholy The Foggy Dew that chronicles the Easter Uprising of 1916. The close is the boisterious and rollicking Spanish Lady, resplendent with its lilting melody and Celtic drumming.
