Old World Overture is written as a musical gift from the Old World to the New World and is dedicated to Mauricio Solano and the musicians and organisers of the Corazon Verde Festival (Green Heart) in Paraiso, Costa Rica.

£106.99Pacific Overture - Philip Sparke
This effervescent overture has it all: majestic fanfare sounds, melodious passages and lively figurations. The main theme has the atmosphere of a sea shanty - the work is called Pacific Overture for a reason! Turbulent waters and peaceful bays alternate until the vibrant fanfare from the beginning rounds the work off brilliantly.

£137.99A Bluegrass Overture - Philip Sparke
A Bluegrass Overture was commissioned by Gabriel Wooley and funded by a grant from Leslie and Cathy Anderson for the Central Kentucky Concert Band to celebrate their 40th anniversary in 2016.This energetic overture opens with an introduction loosely based on 'bluegrass' chords before a slower, legato chorale appears in the clarinets and flutes. This is short-lived and soon a new mood is introduced, based on a repeated-note accompaniment. This leads to the main theme, heavily syncopated with bluesy inflections.A central section features a cantabile melody, which changes key frequently, before the main theme reappears, leading toa triumphal presentation of the earlier chorale melody.

£49.95Windward Overture - Robert Sheldon
This original concert overture is manageable by young musicians, yet it has elements that are relevant to much more challenging literature. Written in a standard overture form, the catchy melodies and rhythms will be sure to delight audiences while keeping the players fully engaged. A brief lyrical interlude adds variety and a moment of repose before returning to the more energized main theme. This is an outstanding choice for a spring concert or a first band festival/contest experience.(2:40)

£89.99Shorewood Overture - Michael Sweeney
Combining a district-wide extravaganza for players of all levels creates an exciting spectacle for parents, while providing much needed incentives for the younger players. Shorewood Overture is specifically designed to beperformed by multi-level bands and, rather than the typical massed band number where everyone plays at once, this ingenious overture allows each level to be featured briefly by itself, along with sections where everyone playstogether. In addition, the Level 3 parts include cues (also in the Level 3 score) that allow the piece to be performed by a single ensemble. Dur: 4:20 Note: Level 2/Level 1 versions are not playable separately

Windermere Overture - Chris Sharp
Windermere Overture captures the grandeur of the largest lake in England by the same name. The short introduction quickly builds to the stately theme of the work. The middle section, while at the same tempo, explores a lighter texture and is generally orchestrated by instrument family. As the changing timbres continue to develop, the main theme returns, bringing the piece to a triumphant ending. A great overture that is easy to put together!

£123.95Symphonic Overture - Charles Carter
Symphonic Overture is a contemporary-sounding overture of medium difficulty so scored that it can be performed with equal success by large and small groups alike. Employing the familiar three-part form (A-B-A), the opening section has a theme which is robust in character and with considerable rhythmic interest. The second theme, slow and expressive in character is a free form based on an opening idea introduced by the first flute. At the return of the first section, the first theme is treated as a fugue subject building to great heights as all four entrances are achieved. As the exposition concludes, the contrapuntal texture gives way to a homophonic quality which closes the piece.The coda, as is characteristic, utilizes material from the first theme.
