Unsinkable Farewell
The RMS Titanic was not unsinkable, but this hymn played in the final fatal moments, is unsinkable and resonates even stronger today. Josh McInnish's arrangement of this old Methodist hymn opens with the sound of the ocean, and includes the refrain of a Fanny Crosby hymn at the end. This beautiful musical setting will convey the love and loss of that tragic moment in our world's history.

£109.99Grnemeyer! - Herbert Grönemeyer
The German singer and actor Herbert Grnemeyer has remained faithful to his own style since the beginning of his career in the eighties, yet still managed to further develop his craft and himself, all the while remaining successful. His albums sell well, and his concerts,especially in Germany, are frequently sold out. Wolfgang Wssner chose four diverse songs from Grnemeyer's extensive repertoire (Mnner, Mensch, Flugzeuge im Bauch and Mambo), creating a medley that remains exciting to the very end.

£202.99Avalon Wind Band Set (Score & Parts)
The magical world of King Arthur, Merlin and Mordred is the setting for Avalon. Unexpected opening figures portray the sudden entrance into another world. A choral-like melody represents the procession of ghosts headed by the mighty magician Merlin. Suddenly, ostinato figures and bi-tonal motifs indicate the attempt of Mordred and his horde to disturb the peace and quiet in the otherwise calm Avalon. Following a powerful statement of King Arthur, we hear a glissando referring back to the opening bars, and... we are back in the normal world. The journey through the underworld has come to an end and the dream is over. 0:16:20

£37.95CATCHER OF SHADOWS (Concert Band - Score only) - Wilby, Philip
Score only. Catcher of Shadows was written in celebration of the work of photographer Frank Meadow Sutcliffe who lived and worked in the Yorkshire fishing port of Whitby at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th centuries. His work is largely of the sea, its tall ships and the people that live by and from it. The world which he catalogued is gone into our Romantic heritage, and a true northern nostalgia is one of the strongest flavours of his work. The music has sought to catch the flavour as well as some of the substance of his original work, even though particular photographs are directly connected with particular parts of the music. Duration: 15 mins.

£16.95DRAGON DANCE (Prestige Concert Band Extra Score) - Stubbs, Duncan
Score only. Of all dragon species, the habits of the ice dragon, hidden away in its mountain fastness, are the least known. Spending most of their lives deep below ground in vast caverns they venture abroad very rarely. Fiercely territorial, encounters with others of their kind precipitate conflict, both immediate and violent. Those few people who have witnessed such encounters, and survived them, liken them to a kind of frenetic dance, hence the title of the piece. Heavily armed, intelligent creatures, the contests are highly ritualised. The frantic pace and intensity of the encounters mean they ten to be brief, ending with one, or often both beasts, crashing into the mountain side, causing a huge avalanche htat invariably marks the end of the encounter. Duration: 5:03 Recorded on Polyphonic QPRM153D Wind Borne

£85.95GOOD TIDINGS OF GREAT JOY (A Christmas Narrative for Band) - Lawshe, Wilford - Holcombe, Bill
Good Tidings of Great Joy is based on the biblical texts according to Isaiah and St. Luke. The christmas Story has been told many times in oratorio and cantata form, but this version is told instrumentally. The success and uniqueness of this composition results from the composers careful intertwining of over 40 Christmas Carols and themes including excerpts from Handel's Messiah and Bach's Christmas Oratorio. Each stran dis like a threat intricately woven, the more familiary the strands are to the listener, the finder the tapestry becomes. The musical substance of the piece is sufficient to tell the Christmas Story, althought the use of prgramme notes, citing the verses of the scripture used, or the optional narration provided, will help clarify the progress of the story to some of the listeners. In addition ot eh optional narration, an optional unison chorus on "O Come O Ye Faithful" is incorporated at the end of the composition.
