£54.99The Centurions (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Curnow, James
The final bars of Centurions take Grade 1 music to new heights of excitement! Artful composition for the first year band with limited ranges and rhythms makes this one you'll use again and again. Some easy use of 16th notes (for the Snare Drum only) helps to generate that extra bit of energy that lifts this one over the top while keeping the Percussion parts interesting for the players. Flute fingerings are kept easily manageable throughout and Brass ranges are carefully controlled. Appropriate for any concert, Centurions will inspire your young musicians to a bold and dramatic performance. Excellent for cross-curriculum teaching with history.Duration: 2:00

£137.99Virginia (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - De Haan, Jacob
This expressive piece depicts three periods that play an important role in the history of the American state of Virginia, the colonization, slavery, and the American Civil War. The first movement describes the adventures and hardships of the first colonists through lively American sounding themes. The expressive slow movement, in which a melancholic minor theme forms the starting point, depicts, with clever use of blues elements, the oppressed slaves on the tobacco plantation. This is followed by a illustration of the Civil War, heralded by ceremonial figures from the brass section. The work is brought to a close with a slow but optimistic theme heralding hope for the future.Duration: 9.15

£132.95Music for Arosa (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Sparke, Philip
This work was commissioned in 1996 by the Arosa Cultural committee and first performed in Arosa in that year. The majestic introduction opens with trombones and euphonium, heralding a legato theme, chorale-like in character. A pair of flutes introduce a new theme. A trumpet introduces a series of highly syncopated solos, which feature many metre changes, and the tempo increases when playful motifs are exchanged between various sections of the band. A solo clarinet introduces an expressive tune. A brass chorale follows, with interruptions from the flute and bassoon, until the clarinet tune is played by the whole band. This reaches a climax and the mood subsides to reach a quiet horn chord. The broad legato tune returns and the excitement increases until the march theme triumphantly returns to full band. This leads to the coda which is based on the opening fanfare and closes the work emphatically. (Grade 5) Performance time 11'01" (Recorded on QPRM138D BREAKING THE CENTURY, Central Band of the Royal Air Force)

£62.95Engelberg Variations (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Harbinson, William G.
Engelberg Variations was composed for the Hibriten High School Band in Lenoir, North Carolina and is based on the hymn, "When In Our Music God Is Glorified." It opens with a flourish of activity from the brass and percussion. This gives way to the statement of the theme set in a lovely woodwind chorale featuring flutes and oboes. A lyrical trumpet solo takes the band to a soaring tutti statement of the theme which gets interrupted by a percussion-filled staccato variation. Fragments of the theme are then heard in fun variations juxtaposed against the original theme in augmentation. Engelberg Variations is destined to become a classic! Duration: 6.45

£62.95National Emblem (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Bagley, Edwin Eugene - Custer, Calvin
This brilliantly scored version of E.E. Bagley's most notable work continues to provide that 'in your face' sound so loved by audiences. The use, somewhat camouflaged, of The Star Spangled Banner certainly contributes to this degree of fame, plus the fact that it is a march strong on brass and percussion, which never fails to inspire performers or those who listen. Technical difficulties are limited, but the sheer joy of the work shines through. Highly recommended! Duration: 3.00

£154.99Balkanya (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Van der Roost, Jan
Balkanya, a suite in three parts composed by Jan Van der Roost, was commissioned by the Music School of Gaillon - Aubevoye (France) for the celebration of the twentieth anniversary of its creation. Jan Van der Roost dedicated the piece to the director of the school: Thierry Patel. As in his earlier work, Puszta, the composer makes no use of existing dances or themes in these three Balkan dances. This high-spirited suite takes its own approach to the folk music of the Balkan countries and is characterized by unique changes in tempo and spirit. Woodwinds, brass and percussion all have equal parts, making this suite attractive and enjoyable for the entire band.Duration: 10:15

£148.00La Quintessenza (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - De Meij, Johan
La Quintessenza is a musical approach of the quintessence, the heart of the matter. By focusing a five note motif in a number of variants, De Meij tries to get through to the essence of the musical matter. The core of the composition is a lyrical middle part (Arioso), preceded by an opening fanfare for brass (Introduzione) and a burlesque variant on the same motif (Capriccio). In the fourth part (Alla Marcia) this main motif is only used as an ambient signal, and in the Finale the opening theme is repeated so the musical walk-round is complete. Duration: 12.00
