Chorale and Variations - Philip Sparke
As the title suggests, this piece comprises a set of variations on an original chorale,which is presented in the opening bars.The chorale uses the dark middle and lower sections of the band and is extended with minor variations until a pause leads to the first real variation, marked Vivo. This is in the form of a moto perpetuo. The second variation is a beautiful Andante introduced by a solo clarinet. Following a full band climax the final variation opens with quiet, nervous energy until its main theme is introduced.The chorale makes a brief appearance until the main theme reappears. This leads to a triumphant final augmented statement of the chorale theme, decorated by theflorid clarinet theme in the upper woodwinds. A dazzling new concert work.

£60.99Chorale and Presto - Richard L. Saucedo
This impressive new composition by Richard Saucedo features a variety of musical styles in a contemporary sounding setting. The Chorale is written with lush scoring and emotional peaks and valleys. The driving Presto uses mixed meters and a combination of woodwind flourishes and fanfare-like brass figures. The Chorale theme is creatively woven into this section as well, and the ending section builds to an exceptionally strong and rhythmic conclusion.

£106.99Ten Chorale Preludes - Max Reger
During his short lifetime Max Reger (1873-1916) was a prolific composer with many of his best known works being composed for organ. The ten chorale preludes in this selection are from his set of Thirty Short Chorale Preludes Op.135a composed as short voluntaries for liturgical use rather than for recitals in these arrangements Philip Sparke has kept this in mind and each prelude can be performed with minimal instrumentation for those occasions where a small band is needed. They also make great pieces for band warm-ups or studies in intonation, sound and balance.

£79.99Chorale for Peace - Thierry Deleruyelle
Chorale for Peace is a song of hope and peace for humanity. In commissioning this work, the wind band of Le Portel (France) wanted to pay tribute to the victims of 8 September 1943, when around 100 Allied planes dropped more than 5,000 bombs on the town of Boulogne and the surrounding area. In fact, this operation was nothing more than a diversion to make the enemy believe that a landing was imminent in the north of France. This music is slow, an adagio commemorating the human sacrifice of this operation. But more broadly, the composer also wanted to express his support for the peoples who, even today, suffer oppression. This set includes an optional choir part that offers the possibility of making an even deeper impression on the listener.

Chorale and Caprice - James Curnow
This two-movement work has an overall rich and dark quality, brought about by the modal tonal centers. The broad, flowing "Chorale" is based on an original tune by James Curnow and is written with wonderful variety in texture. The "Caprice" creates an interesting contrast with its more lively, aggressive feel.
