£482.99Symphony in Green (Concert Band - Score and Parts)
As with the first symphony, the second symphony is not programmatic as such, but also takes its inspiration from the confrontation of man with his role in nature. Dedicated to the 2011 National Garden Show in Upper Austria, this symphony earned its subtitle Symphony in Green and explores musically the connotation of this colour as the colour of nature, of life and of hope. 28:45

£64.00Boom Town
Boom Town evokes the energetic, fast-paced life of a frontier town during the American West. The piece is inspired by the sounds of construction and dynamite blasts as well as the "boom" of pre-concert adjustments made by musicians. The performance incorporates a unique element where musicians lift their chairs and drop them in time with the rhythm, creating an explosive effect. While this should be done safely, it adds to the visual and auditory excitement. The piece alternates between intense, rhythmic passages and quieter, more lyrical moments, with careful attention given to dynamics and articulation. It also offers an opportunity for audience participation during the "Boom! Boom!" shouts.

£49.00Carol for Coventry (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Smith, Robert W.
The classic "Coventry Carol" is an English Christmas carol from the 16th century. The haunting melody became more widely known in1940, after Coventry was bombed by the German Air Force during World War II. On Christmas Day, the BBC broadcasted a service from the ruins of the Coventry Cathedral that included a dramatic choral performance of the work. This single broadcast with the song's melancholy lyrics gave new meaning to the carol, cementing its place in our holiday repertoire. Robert W. Smith's powerful "Carol For Coventry" brings that 1940 cathedral setting to life with a powerful and dramatic opening statement and a flowing, lyrical setting of the classic carol. A very dramatic choice for your holiday program! Duration: 3.00

£64.99Seconds Out (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Hazo, Samuel R.
In boxing, the term seconds out refers to the moment when coaches and trainers (or seconds) must be out of the ring, leaving the competitors alone to face the competition. In a similar vein, this composition provides a musical description of the challenges and triumphs of students as they transition from middle to high school, leaving their seconds (parents, mentors, etc.) behind to face life on their own terms. Featuring a strong sense of urgency throughout, Seconds Out is solidly written for inexperienced ensembles with plenty of tutti scoring, and interspersed with sections of contrasting dynamics and effective percussion writing.Duration: 3:50

£89.99Cambrian Explosion (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Saucedo, Richard L.
The Cambrian period of our planet's geological history (roughly 500 million years ago) saw an explosion of plant and animal diversity evolving into many of the complex life forms familiar today. Richard Saucedo gives us an "explosion" of musical forms and surprises in this fast-paced and powerful work for mature bands. A recurring mallet and timpani pattern provides unity amidst a diverse musical palette that ranges from jazzy to celebratory. The sudden appearance of the familiar hymn "For the Beauty of the Earth" is both stunning and dramatic as it ties the entire work together. Wonderfully creative!Duration: 3:10

£109.99Black River Overture (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Doss, Thomas
The Black River Overture was commissioned by the music society Pfarrkapelle Schwarzenbach, on the occasion of its 50th anniversary. Schwarzenbach literally means "black brook" - hence the title of the work. This light-hearted piece is a compliment to all music societies and wind bands that have continued despite alternative, modern leisure-time activities in villages; as such, they are able to offer a wonderful and meaningful occupation to both the young and young-at-heart: namely, making music! These societies are the basis for all cultural work, making life rich and colourful.Duration: 6:00

£69.99Mexican Holiday (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Sparke, Philip
Whilst making no claims to be stylistically authentic, this little piece aims to capture the infectious spirit of mariachi, a word whose origins are lost in the mists of time, but which describes not only the performers (on guitars, vihuelas, violins, trumpets and harp) but also the music itself. Their music speaks of love, passion, politics, life in the country and revolutionary heroes but is unerringly uplifting in style and immediately recognisable as the spirit of Mexico. A chance to add that Spanish flavour to your concerts.Duration: 1:30
