£82.95Russian Christmas Music - By Alfred Reed
The theme carefully explored by Alfred Reed in this repertoire standard is "Carol of the Little Russian Children" which is an ancient Russian Christmas carol. You can hear four distinct sections originally called "Children's Carol," "Antiphonal Chant," "Village Song" and "Cathedral Chorus" all joined in this continuous contemporary setting. The almost overwhelming sound picture with varied tone colors and brilliant brass choir sounds is a classic in every sense. "Russian Christmas Music" by Alfred Reed is a worthy addition to the Belwin Classic Band series. This recording compliments of the United States Air Force Band, Col. Lowell Graham, conductor.

£430.00Pictures at an Exhibition (complete) - By Modest Mussorgsky / arr. Alfred Reed, Carl Simpson
While the original piano version of PICTURES AT AN EXHIBITION remained unpublished at the time of Mussorgsky's death, the work was orchestrated by his friend Rimsky-Korsakov and published in 1886, although it remained largely obscure until Maurice Ravel's (based on the Rimsky-Korsakov) brilliant orchestration in the 1920s pushed the work into its current established and popular place in the repertoire. This present orchestration for band by Carl Simpson (edited by Alfred Reed) is entirely new and primarily based on the autograph manuscript.

£33.50Double Wind Quintet - By Alfred Reed
Uniting the traditional Woodwind and Brass Quintets into a ten-player performing group, the Alfred Reed has treated the various combinations possible with this instrumentation in various ways: sometimes just a Woodwind Quintet, then the Brass Quintet, and frequently both groups together as a kind of "mini-wind ensemble." Then, too, the many smaller combinations of two to nine players are exploited to the fullest in order to create continual, and sometimes surprising, changes of instrumental color. The work is in three movements: I. INTRADA, subtitled 'Fanfares, Entrances and Marches," II. PAVANE, subtitled "Elegy" as Reed's in memoriam for dear personal friend Walter Beeler, to whom the work is dedicated, III. TOCCATA, set in rock and rag rhythms.

£61.95Variations on L. B. I. F. D. - Traditional / arr. Alfred Reed / Scored by Douglas E. Wagner
Alfred Reed needs no introduction for those who admire his distinguished concert band works. This arrangement for concert band draws from five movements of his original 28 composed for brass quintet based on "London Bridge Is Falling Down." Included are: "Statement," "Waltz," "March Fo(u)rth!," "A Little Funeral Music, Please (Eine Kleine Trauermusik)," and "Finale." A demonstration of compositional techniques practiced during the past three centuries, the work is filled with captivating and highly musical moments. Even though players will encounter a few changes in tonal centers, meters, and tempo throughout, there is not much that would get in the way of having a fun experience learning and performing. (2:45)
