£118.99Goodnight Moon (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Whitacre, Eric - Markowski, Michael
"Over the past few years I must have read Goodnight Moon to my son a thousand times - maybe more. Somewhere around reading number 500, I began hearing little musical fragments as I read, and over time those fragments began to blossom into a simple, sweet lullaby. I knew it was a long shot, but I asked my manager, Claire Long, to contact HarperCollins and see if they would allow the text to be set to music. To my surprise and delight they agreed - the first time they had ever allowed Goodnight Moon to be used in such a way. I composed the piece relatively quickly, originally setting the text for harp, string orchestra, and my son's mother, soprano Hila Plitmann. I later arranged Goodnight Moon for SATB choir and piano. More recently, my dear friend Verena M?senbichler-Bryant arranged the piece for wind ensemble and soloist. The melody of Goodnight Moon will forever make me think of those quiet nights, reading my son to sleep." -Eric Whitacre

£55.50Swingin' Bell Carol (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Leontovych, Mykola Dmytrovich - Story, Michael
The inspiration of this setting comes from Ukrainian composer Mykola Leontovych's original 1914 work for mixed choir, which demonstrates both his sacred and nationalistic style. The four-note ostinato is known by several different titles and performed in a wide variety of styles including classical, metal, country, rock, and pop, and, with this jazz setting, the original takes on yet another new flavour.Duration: 2:00

£104.99The Source (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Appermont, Bert
At the heart of this piece are several elements that inspired the composer. First of all: nature, infinite and inexhaustible, giving life and power, something bigger than humans can grasp. The composer used the Gregorian hymn 'Veni Creator Spiritus' as a leitmotiv to reflect this idea. A second element was the passing of David Maslanka, a dear friend of the composer, honoured in the work by a few musical 'echoes'. At the end of the work, there is a passage for optional choir in different possible settings. The Source was commissioned by the Banda Giovanlie Regionale ANBIMA FVG, Italy, and is an impressive, stirring and moving piece of music. Duration: 8.00

£424.99Markus-Passion (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - De Haan, Jacob
Unlike most passion settings with choir, soloists and orchestra, this version of the Markus-Passion has been conceived for band, narrator and mezzo soprano and baritone (or alto). The lyrics from the Gospel According to Mark have been used in full, which makes this passion quite unique. If desired, the lyrics of the evangelist can be spoken in any language, to make the work more accessible to the audience. However, because of the rhythms involved, the sung parts should always be performed in German. This special work should be a truly overwhelming experience for your audience! Duration: 54.30

£49.00Our American Heroes (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Swearingen, James
The inspiration that motivates composers to create music often originates from a multitude of different sources. Numerous band director friends have suggested the creation of a patriotic selection that honors military personnel, both past and present. They also requested that lyrics be included so as to allow their choir colleagues to join in creating a spectacular grand finale. I sincerely hope that your audiences, both young and old, will enjoy this musical salute to America's lasting heroes. A real crowd-pleaser! Duration: 1.30
