£56.99Into The Dragon's Keep - S. Smith
Here's an engaging and imaginative work for developing musicians that has the added benefit of providing great teaching opportunities! "Into The Dragon's Keep" opens and closes with a haunting flute/optional piccolo solo that will leave your students feeling like they just stepped into a story. Utilizing an open drone in the low brass throughout, giving it a very medieval and Celtic sound, your students will be engaged as they learn about playing in contrasting meters of 3/4 and 6/8, and in Dorian mode. Highly recommended!

£153.50Caccia and Chorale - C. Williams
The master touch of a gifted composer is evident throughout this unusual work. Splashes of woodwind color and brass chordal blocks are incessantly driven by vigorous snare drum ostinatos until, when it seems there can be no more, chimes signal the closing chorale. An emotion charged composition.

£191.50Punchinello - Alfred Reed
The total spectrum of band color appears in this brilliant composition by the master of this band medium. A beautiful lyric section is surrounded by flashing woodwinds and punctuating brass and percussion in the outer sections. Beautifully cross-cued, but still requires good instrumentation and capable players. Exceptional closing number!

£91.99A Tom Sawyer Portrait - Jarvis
Mark Twain's colorful characters come to musical life in "A Tom Sawyer Portrait!" The journey begins in St. Petersburg, Missouri, with a jaunty musical portrayal of Tom and Huck and a ragtime sequence which depicts the sleepy river town. An Americana-style ballad follows that is tender, lyrical and poignant. This segues into a "no holds barred" blues section representing the mighty Mississippi. The Portrait concludes with our heroes' return, featuring a recap of the opening theme augmented in the brass and accompanied by woodwind runs and exciting percussion. This is a great selection for the concert band that demands solid musicianship but will reward students for their efforts!

£104.50Eternal Father, Strong To Save - Claude T. Smith
Legendary composer W. Francis McBeth once said, "If Claude Smith only wrote the fanfare to "Eternal Father," he would still be a legend. Smith takes the Navy's hymn as the basis for his fanfare. This famous hymn tune, normally in the major key, has now been placed in the minor key then transitions to Allegro Vivace. The hymn tune is put through its paces including several variations and two fugatos (one for the woodwinds and one for brass). A short transition,(including the famous 7/8 measure!) to the now well-known setting for French horn quartet, gives us an emotional rendition of the original hymn tune now in the major key. The full band plays the hymn, and a timpani roll takes us back to the original fanfare now in C major. A classic of literature and a composition which will provide a meaningful experience for musician and audience member alike.

Emperata Overture - Claude T. Smith
This is the composition that started it all! "Emperata Overture" is a wind band classic for concert and festival alike. The original publication of this work established Claude T. Smith's use of the 7/8-time meter as his signature rhythmic device for instrumental ensembles. This flexible arrangement allows ensembles to perform the work with as few as fourteen musicians providing accessibility and flexibility for numerous instrumentation needs, while still allowing a full ensemble sound.The posted recording is based on the full band scoring but aligns with the suggested preferences for either woodwinds/strings or brass suggested in the score.

£67.50Sanctus - Franz Schubert
Franz Schubert (1797-1828), great Austrian composer, was a supreme melodist and master of lieder. This transcription is based on his Sanctus (Holy, Holy, Holy) from his German Mass in F. (ca. 1815) for four-part choir and lends itself well to the expressive qualities of the modern brass quintet.

£67.50Swingin' at the Riverside - Stephen Bulla
Feature anywhere from one Saxophone up to the entire Sax section in Stephen Bulla's jazzy new arrangement titled Swingin' at the Riverside. The quick, rhythmic swing-style music is catchy to say the least! It's the perfect opportunity to "lighten up" during the next concert performance. In addition, it's a good piece to program just before or after that large work that's taxing for the Brass players. It's lots of fun for Brasses to play but gives them plenty of short rests throughout so they can refresh their chops. Now's the time to let the Saxes shine!Light-hearted and fun!
