Callisto - Joseph Compello
A winning and moderately easy concert piece that takes its name from one of the moons of Jupiter, Callisto is a vibrantly scored set of two variations on a fragment of a theme from the Jupiter movement of Gustav Holst's orchestral suite, The Planets. The characteristic flatted-7th of much English folk music is retained in both the quick opening section and the slow, reflective variation that forms the B section of this clever and appealing overture-style piece.

American Overture for Band Op.13 - Joseph Willcox Jenkins
Theodore Presser published this repertoire standard in Critical Edition, marking its 50th anniversary. Unlike most critical editions, however, this one was supervised by the composer himself. The set includes a full score, and corrects and revises dynamics, articulations, and pitches - all exactly as the composer intended. A true "urtext" in every sense of the word.

£252.50Gopak - Eric Ewazen
Gopak is the first movement of a set of Symphonic Dances written for the Hofstra Unibersity Wind Ensemble, directed by Peter Boonshaft, who commissioned and premiered the work in 2009. Gopak is a tribute to my Polish and Ukrainian roots. My father used to dance traditional Ukrainian dances including the Gopak, and some of my earliest musical memories include the joyful, energetic, and rhythmic feel of those wonderful folk dances.Gopak has a strong feeling of two beats, is accented quite heavily, and is energetic from beginning to end. The melodies are completely original, but the lively feel of the music calls to my mind the energy of the Gopak, notes composer Eric Ewazen.

£196.50Grand Mesa - Eric Ewazen
The Colorado Mesa University Wind Symphony, under direction of Dr. Calvin Hofer, has hosted the annual and continually growing Best of the West Music Festival. In 2007, Ewazen was guest composer and commissioned for a new concert band work to celebrate Grand Junction and the towering Grand Mesa that rises above the town. Inspired by this grand landscape, I set out to write a work which was rich, resonant, colorful and bold, a tribute to this amazing scenery which I ultimately had the pleasure of seeing and exploring first hand. For intermediate to advanced bands.

£168.50Psalm for Band - Vincent Persichetti
Psalm for Band is a piece constructed from a single germinating harmonic idea. There are three distinct sections - a sustained chordal mood, a forward moving chorale, followed by a Paean culmination of the materials. Extensive use is made of separate choirs of instruments supported by thematic rhythms in the tenor and bass drums. Psalm was selected for performance at the CBDNA Convention in December 1952 as one of the eight most outstanding compositions for band written in the previous several years. Theodore Presser Company editor Daniel Dorff, on the new Centennial Edition, explains, "The 1954 Elkan-Vogel publication had a full score in a calligrapher's hand that was quiteaccurate, and a set of parts that was problematic in readability and accuracy. The present 2015 edition is faithful to and compatible with the original published score, with carefully and cleanly prepared parts bearing cues, easy page turns, and individual parts for each player."

£118.99South Pacific Medley - Richard Rodgers
In this medley, the arranger combines four titles from the hit musical South Pacific, written by Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein. Many songs from the tragically-beautiful musical concern love, war and racial prejudice, set against the background of a dreamlike island in the South Pacific during the Second World War. South Pacific is generally considered to be one of the greatest musicals of all time and is as popular today as ever.
