£82.00The Anguish of Nosferatu
Very programmatic and haunting, this composition should prove a good change of pace for your next festival or concert. Although this piece may seem a little rhythmically complex, it has a natural flow. The harmonies often move in tri-tones which lends a bit of a horror feel to the piece. Challenging, dark, and intense, your students and audiences will find themselves transformed by the Anguish of the Nosferatu.

£56.00March in the Shadows
If you are looking for a different type of march to play this coming year, look no further. Here is a serious, yet quirky little march from composer Ed Kiefer for young bands.

£148.99Nepotism (Movement II from Symphony No.1, The Borgias) (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Schwarz, Otto M.
A sinister legend hangs over the Borgia family, a legend of corruption, abuse of power, orgies, sex and murder. These rumours proliferated especially during the papacy of Alexander VI, a descendant of the family, who was even called the Antichrist. On his death, contemporary witnesses reported that the devil himself prowled around the death chamber and a black dog run along the corridors of the Vatican as his emissary. One might say that this Borgia pope, who ruled together with his family with the greatest brutality, became demonised. Unscrupulousness, poison-toting, incest and other malice are to this day the hallmarks of this pontiffNepotism: Rodrigo Borgia was elected Pope on 11 August 1492. From the very start, the new pope was prepared to use any means to eliminate his opponents, either through the infamous Borgia poison or by excommunication and execution. His son Cesare, who wanted little to do with the church, was appointed cardinal against his will. Alessandro Farnese, broth of Giulia Farnese, the Pope's mistress, also became a cardinal. Numerous Spaniards were brought into the country and were appointed to ecclesiastical posts. This infuriated the opponents of Alexander VI. The Dominican Girolamo Savonarola from Florence demanded the removal of the Pope. He was tortured and banned. Giuliano della Rovere wanted to convene councils to depose the Pope, which Alexander managed to prevent through artful political manoeuvrings. Through great brutality, brilliant political skill and power games, this pope was able to achieve his goal of leaving for his children a great legacy. Alexander VI constantly changed his allies and always acted unscrupulously to improve his financial situation and expand his sphere of influence. At the centre of the second movement of this work is the medieval hymn Dies Irae (Day of Wrath), which acts as a warning in the background condemning the Pope's actions.Duration: 9.15

£85.00O Little Town of Bethlehem (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Brooks & Redner - Hannevik, John Philip
The text for this carol was written by the Episcopal priest Phillips Brooks in 1865, and it was inspired by his visit to Bethlehem three years earlier. He asked his organist in the Church of the Holy Trinity in Philadelphia, Lewis Redner, to write a tune to his poem. Lewis Redner himself later told that he found it hard to write a good tune for the text. But the night before the first performance "I was roused from sleep late in the night hearing an angel-strain whispering in my ear, and seizing a piece of music paper I jotted down the treble of the tune as we now have it, and on Sunday morning before going to church I filled in the harmony. Neither Mr. Brooks nor I ever thought the carol or the music to it would live beyond that Christmas of 1868." Duration: 2.20

£84.99I Say a Little Prayer (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Schaars, Peter Kleine
This bittersweet song from 1967 is a real classic, partly due to the rendition by two queens of soul, Dionne Warwick and later also Aretha Franklin. The theme was very topical at the time: A woman is concerned about her husband fighting in the Vietnam War, and thinks about him during her day-to-day worries. Top arranger Peter Kleine Schaars created a tasteful and carefully orchestrated version. His arrangement stays true to the original colour and feel of the song, and, as a grade 3 piece, is still perfectly playable for most bands. Duration: 2.30

£74.00The Cat's Pajamas (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - La Plante, Pierre
A Felicitous Feline Ragtime Novelty. During the Jazz age of the 1920's, "the cat's pajamas" referred to anything special, unique or "cool." Musically speaking, the image of a cat in pajamas might suggest combining low clarinets (reminiscent of Prokofiev's use of a clarinet to describe the cat in "Peter And The Wolf") with a jaunty little tune in ragtime style, adding a few instrumental "meows," and you have (what else?): "The Cat's Pajamas: A Felicitous Feline Ragtime Novelty!" Audiences and performers will love it from head to tail! Duration: 2.50
