£47.50Error Detection - Student's Edition
The Error Detection: Exercises for the Instrumental Conductor texts are designed to improve the critical listening skills of the conducting student through real music excerpts that contain planted errors in the parts for the conductor to find. Both books contain 54 excerpts from standard band literature from grades 2 to grade 6 so students gain knowledge of real music they can use later, not just non-musical etudes. The teacher's edition contains over 350 pages of materials with analysis sheets and answer keys to help the conducting teacher to easily evaluate the student's progress. The teacher's edition also comes with a CD-ROM containing all of the instrumental parts for allof the musical excerpts as PDF files, so the teacher can just print the amount of parts needed for each example, and the examples are arranged to sound satisfying with as little as five players. The Error Detection program has been tested for over 3 years at major university programs like the University of Minnesota, Illinois State University, and the College-Conservatory of Music at the University of Cincinnati.

£71.50Edgar Allan Poe - Barry E. Kopetz
Edgar Allan Poe is perhaps most well known for his writings on Gothic topics, darkness, and early forms of science fiction, and he almost single-handedly created the genre we now call the detective story. This work effectively captures the darkness that so poignantly defines Poe, the writer. The slow, brooding introduction captures the dark moods that characterize so much of his writing. The second section envisions Poe as he desperately writes, one step ahead of the poverty that always seemed just one heartbeat away. A chilling portrait of this famous literary figure.

£84.99On the Movieset - John Emerson Blackstone
Glitter and glamour, good-looking people, a lot of Bling Bling and fast cars images like these will cross our minds when we think of the movie world. However, reality proves to be different : as a rule, a tremendous amount of work will have been done on the set before a film is ready to be shown on the big screen. A visit to an actual movie set inspired John Emerson Blackstone to write a composition bearing the same name. He had both seen a number of characteristic attributes and heard the typical phrases used in film making, and he incorporated them into 'On the Movie Set' . In the first part, 'The Clapboard', a 'director's assistant' is supposed to shout "Quieton the set'" and "Action!", as is done before a real scene is shot. Subsequently, in order to create the right atmosphere, the clacking of a 'Clapboard' should be heard. During a romantic scene we should be transported to another world by means of sweet sounds in the background, so romantic music is of course heard in the next part, 'Love Scene'. At the end of a long working day 'It's a wrap' is called on the set to inform everyone that the filming on that day is completed. Now there is only one more thing left to dream of : an Oscar..... Perf. Note: The use of the right props will add to the performance and appreciation of 'On the Movie Set'. A red carpet and a glamorous reception should give your audience the feeling they are attending a real 'opening night'!

£124.99Sonoritas - Jan Van der Roost
Sonoritas was commissioned by the Kaohsiung City Wind Orchestra, a professional wind orchestra from Taiwan. The work premiered on 10 September 2023 in the beautiful Kaohsiung Weiwuying Concert Hall, performed by the same orchestra and conducted by the composer. This impressive hall holds the largest concert organ in Asia, inspiring the composer to grant this majestic instrument a role in the composition - albeit ad libitum. Accordingly, all the important passages have also been provided for woodwind or brass instruments, so that the work can be performed with or without an organ.The title Sonoritas reflects the musical content, the rich timbres and sounds of both the wind orchestra and the organ being fully employed in this dynamic composition. A chorale melody with expansive chords opens the work and culminates in a driving theme presented by the brass instruments in various registers. The woodwinds, in turn, introduce a virtuoso saltarello-like theme, followed by a development of all these thematic elements in various forms and combinations. The work concludes grandly with an organ-like finale and, as a high point, a sonorous final chord, which crowns this wonderful sound piece with its broad lines and full harmonies, as well as rhythmic and technical fireworks.
