£104.50A Golden Legacy - Scott Watson
The music of A Golden Legacy reflects both the joy and reverence many of us feel in our role as transmitters of the band tradition. The legacy in the title refers to the long-lasting impact directors have on students lives. This piece alternates between two themes - the first is a majestic fanfare that develops into a purposeful and resolute march; the second theme is a reverent hymnlike chorale that undergoes several variations, with the last one erupting into a festive musical celebration for an exuberant finish.

£82.50Detonation - Gary D. Ziek
This intense and volatile piece lights the fuse with a one-bar introduction that leads to and ignites the impact of the full band. A unifying four-note motif makes several expanded appearances. A brief period of calm is underpinned by a series of pulsating ostinati which maintain a constant state of agitation. In the explosive conclusion, the percussion section provides the last word with one final detonation.

£159.60Drieluik - Oscar van Hemel
Drieluik is one of the pearls in the repertoire, which is specifically written for wind band. It is an interesting piece in a contemporary idiom that was written ahead of its time (1969). This is a revised and colourful orchestration, and hopefully returns Triptych to its former glory, and gives it the attention it deserves. It is an exciting composition for the musicians, with many chamber music type moments, various solo opportunities and full of energy.

£61.00Transeamus usque ad Bethlehem - Franz Schneider
The original piece was written by Franz Schneider (1737- 1812), organist and musical director at the Benedictine abbey of Melk on the Danube, for choir, string quartet, two trumpets and timpani. This arrangement can be performed with choir and band, without choir or by a mixed ensemble or band. Instead of using the complete choir, one can also only use the first choir part solo with accompaniment of the quartet parts. Therefore, the four part mixed choir score has alternatively been arranged for multipart wind ensemble (from a quartet).The original string parts have been arranged for symphonic band. Thanks to the cue notes, the passages intended for large band can also be performed by smaller ensembles in a most satisfactory way. The various instrumentation possibilities are clearly indicated in the instrumentation lists of the wind quartet and orchestra. The complete percussion part is totally 'ad libitum'.

£83.30Elsa's Procession - Richard Wagner
Wagner composed his opera Lohengrin about 1849. This splendid piece is extracted from that opera. It describes a huge procession of nicely dressed guests headed by Elsa walking through the cathedral gate. The guests take their seats while Elsa proceeds to the altar to marry Lohengrin, the 'Swan Knight'. A brilliant theme starts in a subtle way and swells in some minutes into one of the absolute highlights of the late romantic period.
