£121.00Tock - Kenneth Froelich
Tock is a single movement work for concert band that uses percussion and asymmetrical rhythms to mimic the "tocking" of a broken clock. The repetition of melodies and of motive fragments are used to establish a regular pulse; however, while this pulse is steady, it is not even. A five-four time signature, a syncopated bass line and irregular phrases are all used to offset the central beat of the music. Much like the clock, the end result is a dance that seems consistent but is in fact "broken." Its a work that is both fascinating and creative, excellent cutting-edge writing for upper-level ensembles.

£71.50Poltergeist - John Prescott
Spooky sound effects abound in this rollicking work which depicts a familys encounter with a poltergeist in their home. Through foot stomping, percussion effects, instrument key and valve clicking, and other added effects such as ghostly laughter, the band creates a scary yet mischievous environment for the family. As the constantly-increasing tempo at the end of the work suggests, the family is eventually chased from their own house by the relentless and playful poltergeist. Create even more fun by encouraging your students to create their own special effects for an even spookier atmosphere.

£121.00Always With Grace - Gary P. Gilroy
Always With Grace, commissioned by the Lloyd C. Bird High School band, includes references to Amazing Grace. Not meant to be an arrangement of this wonderful melody, it is instead a tribute to this favorite hymn. From the opening bars of driving eighth-note rhythms through the solemn and lyric middle section, the concept of "time moving forward" is represented by numerous musical devices. As the composition concludes, the full hymn is heard while an off-stage saxophone quartet and metallic percussion sounds "tick away" to an intriguing, unique conclusion.

£104.50Festival and Ballade For Winds - Travis J. Weller
Festival and Ballade for Winds was written for the 2009 Pittsburgh Diocesean Honor Band hosted by Bishop Canevin High School. The opening fanfare contains a number of melodic fragments out of which the rest of the work grows and develops. The Allegro Spiritoso at the beginning of the piece gives way to a lush and reflective Ballade section in which there are wonderful moments for dynamic expression by the ensemble. There are a number of solo/small group performance opportunities which occur before the percussion ushers in a return to the original tempo, followed by a brief development section that leads to an energetic and uplifting conclusion.
