£11.95Resonance (Concert Band - Score Only) - Fraser, Bruce
The title?Resonance?derives from the sound created by imposing two major triads on top of each other, eg. the first brass chord of F major over G major, otherwise an eleventh chord. The whole piece is then worked out through these intervals, opening with a rush of flourishes and fanfares creating a lively atmosphere, moving to a middle slower section with a more angular melody. the opening is repeated and leads to a flying CODA with a cheeky interchange between Oboe and Piccolo.

£74.95The Berlin Rag (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Blinko, Timothy
The Berlin Rag evokes the rich harmonic sound-world of 1920s Berlin and contemporary jazz, fused with the technique of American Ragtime. The scoring is highly colouristic in nature, and has avoided any weighty doublings. There are also many solo opportunities for all the principal players, either chamber-like combinations, duets or solo lines. The magical crunchy effect of the tutti band is reserved until the end where it is finally released in a blaze of brass writing, spiked with timpani and percussion.

£179.99Firestorm (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Bulla, Stephen
The inspiration for this piece, commissioned by the United States Army Band, came from the Gulf and its constant presentation to the world as a media event on television. The composer wanted to capture the colour and events of war as they were played out on the television screen. Composed as a single movement rhapsody, the work is framed by the riveting sounds of airborne bombing raids with brass and percussion combining to create a gripping sense of tension.Duration: 11:15

£89.99Mercury (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Van der Roost, Jan
Mercury is a concert march composed in a typically British idiom. In 1990, Jan Van der Roost wrote this piece on the occasion of the 15-year anniversary of his own band: Brass Band Midden Brabant. Like many British marches, the main theme is written in a minor key. Powerful and virtuoso themes characterise the first part of this march, while the trio melody is much more melodical, offering the tenor register to display its lyrical skills. Follows a dynamic passage for trombones and trumpets/cornets, leading to a "grandioso" version of the main trio melody and thus concluding this march in a magnificent way.Duration: 3.00

£76.99Scarborough Fair, Variations on (Concert Band - Score and parts) - Custer, Calvin
First published in 1989, this work from the late Calvin Custer epitomises his command of orchestration and understanding of musical pacing. The familiar folk melody is stated first by a solo flute then followed by a remarkable series of variations starting with a brass choir accompanied by woodwind flourishes. An Andante variation features the woodwind choir accompanying solos by baritone and oboe, and this leads to a striking fugue variation and bold finish. Truly symphonic band writing at its best.Duration: 4:45

£149.99Suite Provencale (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Van der Roost, Jan
This 4-movement suite is based on authentic folk tunes from the beautiful southern province in France: the "Provence". The composer used an harmonic language respecting the popular characteristics, but on the other hand also contains some "spicy" notes (...just like the well known "Provencal sauce"!...). The instrumentation is very colourful, paying a lot of attention to the different timbres of both brass and wood winds as well as to the percussion section. Every movement has its own character: "Un Ange a fa la crido" (= An angel brought the creed/credo) is like a bourree, "Adam e sa Coumpagnou" (= Adam and his companion) is an old love song, "Lou Fustie" (= the carpenter) a fast dance and finally "Lis Escoubo" (= a whistle tune / popular ballad) is a farandole. In the latter, the old tradition of folk musicians who play a whistle with one hand and a drum with the other hand, is clearly represented during the first presentations of the one and only theme)Although this piece is not too demanding, a well balanced band is necessary to perform it successfully. Thanks to the contrasts and the varying colours, it keeps on holding the attention.Duration: 7:15
