£75.00Winter Wakeneth All My Care (from When Icicles Hang) (Concert Band with Optional Choir - Score and Parts) - Rutter, John - Noble, Paul
John Rutter received an early commission for a piece of music that was seasonal for winter, though not necessarily linked to the Christian traditions of Christmas, in the early '70s. The request came from his friend Russell Burgess, a well-known conductor in the English musical scene and head of the Wandsworth School Boys' Choir through the '60s and '70s. Rutter responded with a six-movement work for orchestra, boys' choir, and mixed chorus, called When Icicles Hang. He chose his texts, characteristically, from Elizabethan and other early English poetry, each text dealing with images from the wintery season, be they the cold, ice-bound landscape and its winds; an older man's weariness in the face of the season; or the contrapuntal pleasures of ale and honey love for those safely inside on winter nights. The movements are: I. Icicles; II. Winter Nights; III Good Ale; IV Blow, blow, thou winter winds; V. Winter wakeneth all my care; VI . Hay, ay. With sparkling orchestration which has been faithfully set for Concert/Wind Band, the work may be performed with chorus as originally written, or may be performed effectively by band alone. The work is available as a complete set of six movements, or each movement may be purchased and performed individually.

Aubade Joyeuse was originally scored for brass band and commissioned by the Three Choirs Festival in 1986 for performance in Gloucester Cathedral. It is in the form of an introduction and allegro and aims to give the impression of a quiet early morning that soon gets a lot busier with people, traffic and general activity rising towards the end to a frenzied fugato climax.

£110.00Fiesta (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Curtis, Matthew - Noble, Paul
Despite its Spanish title, the concert overture Fiesta is really Italian, recalling a festival that I saw several times as a child in the late 1960s while holidaying in a village at the southern tip of the bay of Naples. The date is August 15, the occasion the feast of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary, celebrated with colourful processions and ritual (some, one imagines, pre-Christian in origin), all rounded off with brass bands and home-made fireworks. - Matthew Curtis. Fiesta was originally written for the orchestra of St. Paul's School in London, It has had performances in London's Queen Elizabeth Hall and the Royal Festival Hall where it opened a live broadcast concert in the BBC's International Festival of Light Music, and has made intermittent appearances on the radio ever since. This arrangement for Wind Band will make an excellent festival opener for accomplished bands and is a sure crowd pleaser with its dynamic flare and energy.

The Five Orchestral Meditations are all based on John Rutter's choral pieces, which he re-scored for orchestra, and on which these arrangements are based.

They may be performed as a suite, or as independent pieces: 1. What Sweeter Music; 2. Blow, blow, thou winter wind; 3. Candlelight; 4. Lord, make me an instrument of thy peace; 5. The Lord bless you and keep you. John Rutter's compositions are in a class by themselves, and this adaptation is sure to find its way into the repertoire of outstanding bands around the world.
