£82.50Cadences - Roger Kugler
Solve balance and intonation issues with these easy-to-use and effective exercises where students learn how to listen. All five cadences (half, deceptive, imperfect authentic, perfect authentic, and plagal) are represented in all twelve major keys and voiced in three parts for all instruments. By changing parts, students learn to listen first to themselves and then, by reassigning parts, they start to hear each other, "opening their ears" to the sounds around them. This allows players to quickly learn the concepts of blend, tone, balance, and intonation. Short enough to use in any rehearsal situation, they are a perfect addition to any warm-up routine. Since every instrument has all three parts, they can be used with full band, sectionals, and small groups of any combination of instruments, making it a perfect all-around rehearsal tool.

£104.50Christmas Bells Are Ringing - Darren W. Jenkins
Christmas Bells are Ringing is a work of three holiday songs, all with the common theme of the joy and happiness that the ringing bells of the season can evoke.

The slower, lyrical section of the work is based on the moving melody of I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day. The closing section features Jingle Bells with a few fun surprises thrown in to lead the piece to a festive conclusion. A delightful work that will highlight any seasonal performance.

£104.50Flat Out and Wide Open - Barry E. Kopetz
Here is a natural extension of the composers experience of rebuilding and driving a classic Mustang. This driving piece can be viewed as a series of "gear shifts" as you race across a straight, flat stretch of highway. Opening with the rev of the engine, the piece quickly moves into high gear for the remainder of the work, built on short, punctuated, intense motivic ideas. These short snippets propel the music forward as though accelerating wildly with an impending sense of loss of control. A real burst of powerful V-8 musical fun.

Your young percussionists play an important role in this unique and thrilling adventure for elementary bands.

£71.50Bailey Switch March - Earl J. Fox Jr.
Bailey Switch March is dedicated to the beginner band in Picayune, Mississippi. The title comes from the citys original name, as it was a switching location for trains leaving New Orleans heading north. While it was written to retain a stately quality almost like a processional, it can also be played successfully at a faster tempo for an exhilarating and impressive performance.

£71.50Of Noble Courage - Barry E. Kopetz
Of Noble Courage is majestic in flavor, capturing the very essence of noblity and dignity. Similar in character to the ceremonial music used in Great Britain, the stately thematic material reflects the rich history of British tradition. It can be performed either as a festival or concert selection and is also extremely useful as prelude music for any important ceremony. Opening with a resounding fanfare, the music that follows is elegant in character; music befitting a procession of dignitaries in the manner of Pomp and Circumstance. If used as a procession, there are opportunities for repeats to use as needed.

Who can forget the legend of the ominous headless horseman as told in The Legend of Sleepy Hollow?
