£50.50Suite for a Band of Players - Donald Coakley
is set in three movements, with the middle movement an arrangement of a well known Quebec folksong. The first movement, "Latino," represents a synthesis of several Latin-American rhythms. "D'ouViens-tu, Bergere" is a folksong of French origin, popular in Quebec. The third movement, "Ritual Walk," should have the feeling of a stately processional. A nice suite for young musicians.

£45.95A Regal Celebration - Ryan Meeboer
A Regal Celebration is a great introduction piece to a concert, and is composed to reflect the entrance of a King and Queen into court. Focusing on the first seven notes used in most method books, it uses both block harmony orchestration, as well as call response to help your ensemble evolve from playing unison melodies, into sounding like a mature band.

£45.95A Sailor's Suite - Chris Peracciny
This work takes us to a time long ago, as a fearless crew of sailors begins a voyage at sea in "Setting Sail," when suddenly, a terrible storm washes their ship to the shores of a deserted island in "Shipwrecked!" But fear not, our castaways are saved in "The Rescue." Great fun for players in the first year playing. (3:30)

£98.50A Christmas Intrada - Alfred Reed
The celebration of the Nativity has called forth countless songs, dances, carols , plays and combinations of these, involving both vocal and instrumental forces, throughout the centuries, intertwining the feeling of radiant joy and infinite tenderness in many different ways. A CHRISTMAS INTRA DA represents an attempt to portray, in musical terms alone, five contrasting moods associated with the festivities of the Christmas season. These five sections are played without pause. They are: FANFARE: CHRISTUS NATUS EST for brass, chimes, bells and percussion only; LULLABY FOR THE CHRIST CHILD played by the woodwinds; PROCESSIONAL OF THE KINGS AND SHEPHERDS played by the full group; CAROL FOR THE HOLY NIGHT for woodwinds, saxophones and muted brass; and, finally, WASSAIL AND ALLELUIA beginning with the bells and chimes alone, and gradually growing to include not only the full group, but also antiphonal brass choirs, to bring the entire work to a joyous and triumphant conclusion. A CHRISTMAS INTRADA was commissioned by the Middle Tennessee State University Band and dedicated to the bands who annually participate in the Contest of Champions, on the occasion of its 20th Anniversary (1981).The first performance took place on that occasion, at Murfreesboro, Tennessee, October 23rd, 1981, with the U.S. Marine Band, plus antiphonal brass choirs.
