£60.50The Shadow Warriors - David Gorham
First-year players will love performing this bold and heroic work at their first concert. Using the first few notes in most beginning band methods, this will be easy to prepare and a pleasure to perform. Make no mistake, this is not your average beginning band piece. Active percussion parts complement the winds parts which use simple quarter-note rhythms with full, dramatic effect! Very powerful!

£104.50Sunflower Slow Drag - Scott Joplin
The music in Sunflower Slow Drag is full of brightness and levity, having the light, upbeat character found in many of Joplins happiest compositions. After a brief introductory passage, the jaunty main theme appears in all its ragtime cheer, typical of Joplins works. The closing is especially reminiscent of the ending of his more famous The Entertainer and while not as well known, this cheerful four minute works deserves the same fame and popularity. Originally scored for chamber winds, optional parts have been included for larger ensembles.

£121.00Always With Grace - Gary P. Gilroy
Always With Grace, commissioned by the Lloyd C. Bird High School band, includes references to Amazing Grace. Not meant to be an arrangement of this wonderful melody, it is instead a tribute to this favorite hymn. From the opening bars of driving eighth-note rhythms through the solemn and lyric middle section, the concept of "time moving forward" is represented by numerous musical devices. As the composition concludes, the full hymn is heard while an off-stage saxophone quartet and metallic percussion sounds "tick away" to an intriguing, unique conclusion.

£104.50Wolverine March - John Philip Sousa
In 1881, after being named conductor of the United States Marine Band, Sousa composed six new marches to add to the bands repertoire. One of them, Wolverine March, was "respectfully dedicated to His Excellency Hon. David H. Jerome, Governor of Michigan, and Staff." Lively, bright, and stylish, its tuneful quality makes it a natural march addition to concert band programs. As an additional note, Sousa wrote another march in 1926 which he called The Pride of the Wolverines; and while the titles are similar, they are distinctly separate marches and should not be confused with each other.

£82.50The Rains of Scarborough Fair - Randall D. Standridge
Scarborough Fair is simply one of the most beautiful and haunting melodies of all time, and this setting incorporates the favorite melody to captures the sounds and mood of a gray and rainy afternoon. The melancholy melody matches up perfectly with the the sounds of gently falling rain and the faint, distance rumbles of thunder. Rain and thunder sound effects, though not essential, can be added with recordings.

£65.99Lionwind - George Sweet
George Sweet's harmonic palette is still one of our favorites out there. It is unique and fresh, but still throws back to a time long gone...making it hard not to love.

£52.70Hornpipe - Henk van Lijnschooten
HENK VAN LIJNSCHOOTEN (Den Haag 1928) does not need any introduction. He is one of the pioneers of modern wind band music in The Netherlands and has a worldwide reputation as conductor, teacher and composer. From 1957 to 1964 he was director of the famous Marine Band of the Royal Dutch Marine. It was for the 1960 Delft Tattoo that he made this arrangement of the well-known British sailor's song Hornpipe, named after the typical celtic wooden wind instrument (originally made of cow horns in Wales). The Dutch dance 'horlepiep' refers to the same song and dance.

£90.30Scherzo - Anton Bruckner
