£59.00A Holiday Smash-Up (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - McBride, Jonathan
In "A Holiday Smash-Up," an eclectic take on familiar holiday melodies, the woodwinds insist on playing "Jingle Bells," while the brass remains resolute about playing "O Christmas Tree." The hilarity grows as each frustrated section begins lobbing random "decoy" Christmas songs into the mix. In the end the brass and the woodwinds both get their holiday wish by finding a way to play the two songs at the same time! Individual parts are consciously written to support student success in the short holiday rehearsal season, while the work itself is a musical holiday joke book, full of surprises and unexpected twists. Liven up your next holiday concert with the humor and joy of "A Holiday Smash-Up!" Duration: 2.15

£139.99Centenary 2019 (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - De Haan, Jan
Centenary 2019 is a three-movement suite based on a local folksong and was commissioned by Chr. Fanfare De Lofstem, from the Dutch province of Friesland, on the occasion of its 100th anniversary in 2019. Awakening Village, the first movement, musically describes the waking up and coming to life of the village. Bintje Monument was inspired by a famous sculpture that was placed to honour headmaster Kornelis Lieuwes de Vries (1854-1929) who developed the well-known potato variety called bintje. The finale, Journey into the Unknown, refers to the band's memorable 2011 concert trip to the United States of America, in which the composer combines elements of the folksong and fragments from The Star-Spangled Banner. The piece consists of a wide range of playful and melodic sequences as well as some galvanising rhythmical passages.Duration: 10.15

£224.99The Miracle (The Passion of Saint Margaret) (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Appermont, Bert
This work was inspired by the 3rd/4th century legend of Margaret of Antioch. Margaret was very devout, and lived as a shepherdess in the countryside. When the city prefect Olybrius proposed to her, on the condition that she would give up her faith, she refused and was eventually put to death. To evoke the archaic early-medieval atmosphere, Bert Appermont has used two Gregorian Kyries. In addition, influences from old music (such as old modes and parallel fifths) and Carl Orff's work are present. This four movement piece is an epic symphonic poem-like work with an incredible expressiveness and is ideal for a thematic concert or a contest.Duration: 17.30

£75.00Good King Wenceslas (Concert Band with Optional Choir - Score and Parts) - Noble & Willcocks
Good King Wenceslas is a Christmas carol that tells a story of a Bohemian king going on a journey and braving harsh winter weather to give alms to a poor peasant on the Feast of Stephen (December 26, the Second Day of Christmas). During the journey, his page is about to give up the struggle against the cold weather, but is enabled to continue by following the king's footprints, step for step, through the deep snow. The legend is based on the life of the historical Saint Wenceslaus I, Duke of Bohemia or Svat Vclav in Czech (907-935). The name Wenceslas is a Latinised version of the old Czech language Venceslav. In 1853, English hymnwriter John Mason Neale wrote the Wenceslas lyrics, in collaboration with his music editor Thomas Helmore, and the carol first appeared in Carols for Christmas-Tide, 1853. Neale's lyrics were set to the melody of a 13th-century spring carol Tempus adest floridum (The time is near for flowering) first published in the 1582 Finnish song collection Piae Cantiones. This arrangement represents one in the Series of Band Arrangements compatible with David Willcocks' Carols for Choirs.

£75.00The Twelve Days of Christmas (Concert Band with Optional Choir - Score and Parts) - Noble & Rutter
The Twelve Days of Christmas is an English Christmas carol that enumerates in the manner of a cumulative song a series of increasingly grand gifts given on each of the twelve days of Christmas (the twelve days that make up the Christmas season, starting with Christmas Day). The song, published in England in 1780 without music as a chant or rhyme, is thought to be French in origin. The standard tune now associated with it is derived from a 1909 arrangement of a traditional folk melody by English composer Frederic Austin, who introduced the familiar prolongation of the verse five gold rings. This arrangement represents one in the Series of Band Arrangements compatible with David Willcocks' Carols for Choirs.

£99.99Watch Your Step (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Sparke, Philip
Watch Your Step! was commissioned by Stadtmusik Biel from Switzerland and is dedicated to the mayor of Biel/Bienne, Erich Fehr. The title was chosen to represent Biel as the watch-making capital of Switzerland. Watch Your Step! is one part of a series of 'up tempo' Sparke marches such as Slipstream, The Bandwagon and Jubiloso. After a bright opening, a syncopated first theme is played, firstly by clarinets and saxophones, and then by the full band. A 'bass strain' is followed by a contrasting second subject, which is played twice. The bass melody returns to herald a truncated version of the main theme, before the opening fanfare reappears as a coda.Duration: 4.30

£53.50The Legend of Billy Miner (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Buckley, Robert
This composition reflects a colourful time in American history and is an opportunity for your band to discover ragtime rhythms.

The artful interplay between sections gives this piece the sophisticated sound and intensity of a much more advanced work.Duration: 3:30
