£149.99A Nottingham Festival - Philip Sparke
This celebratory work, which Philip Sparke wrote for the 20th anniversary of the Nottingham Concert Band, starts with a hymn-like theme played as a fanfare in the brass. With a change of mood from 'solemn' to 'merry' and back to 'majestic', together with an unusual orchestration, in which may different instruments feature and in which at points the entire wind orchestra shimmers in tutti passages, A Nottingham Festival is a real pleasure for musicians and public alike.

Intrada and Episode - R. Foster
A brilliant opening fanfare by trumpets and trom bones is followed by the primary melody utilizing the low brass and low woodwinds as melodic instruments. This melody, in different forms and voicings, alternatives with the fanfare throughout, providing harmonic, rhythmic, and orchestration variety that is refreshing, and somewhat unusual in a work which is playable by young bands of even limited instrumentation.

Windsongs - David Shaffer
Reminiscent of this composer's "Excellentia Overture", this exceptional concert/contest composition will show off your band's ability to play both crisp energetic and lyrical styles. Majestic fanfare opening statements prepare the spirited main theme that alternates between brass and woodwinds. Separating the outer fast section is a beautiful legato song which builds to a triumphant climax before returning to the main theme. Extremely Nice!

£45.99The Gandy Dancer - Orcino
A unique composition that is descriptive of the work of a "Gandy Dancer" (a person who maintains or lays railroad tracks), it even comes complete with a "train wreck"... The music itself is like a work song with a slight rag-time feel. Great low brass parts! Lots of fun and a real audience pleaser! Really Cool!
