£62.95Mandjiani - William G. Harbinson
is based on a number of compositional techniques common to the music of Africa. Among the techniques employed are "call and response," layering independent lines to create complex textures, parallel voice leading, diatonic harmonies, and invigorating cross rhythms. Mandjiani is the name of the ostinato rhythmic pattern that appears in the work and persists until the end of the composition. This title is available in MakeMusic Cloud.

£70.50Fiat Lux (March) - Howard Cable
In 1951, during the war in Korea, Canada's National Defense Department produced a radio series titled "Voice of the Army". The Howard Cable Concert Band was the main stay of this patriotic/public relations program. Half the musical content was military, the balance 50's pop. Thirty nine programes required two marches per show. I composed eight and at the war's end the music went to storage. Some years later I re-constructed several of these forgotten scores; one of which is Fiat Lux - Dedicated to the University of Lethbridge.

£83.00Alexander's Ragtime Band - Irving Berlin
One of Irving Berlin's most popular songs is given the big band treatment by Jerry Nowak. It starts out with an up tempo swing, dense with harmony, and leads to a jazz ballad in the middle of the piece. This is then followed by a swing roll-off and a catchy Dixieland treatment of the tune by a brass quintet. It finishes up with the full band swingin' at the end. Great for pops concerts and for community bands.

£106.00Reinach Jubilee - Gauthier Dupertuis
As part of its 850th anniversary, the Swiss town of Reinach (Canton of Basel Country), commissioned Gauthier Dupertuis to produce an energetic and lively work for the town's concert band, the MG Konkordia Reinach, conducted by maestro Miguel Etchegoncelay. Reinach Jubilee follows the form of a miniature overture, characterised by an almost regular pulsation from the beginning to the end of the work. The first part is of a resolutely festive character, in contrast with a peaceful central part, gradually returning to the solemn and jubilant outbursts of the beginning of the work. A perfect piece to open your concert!
