£104.50Two Preludes by Giuseppe Verdi - Giuseppe Verdi
In his compositional craft, Verdi was not reluctant to display some of his most powerful and dramatic music in his overtures, preludes and ballet scenes. His preludes before individual acts of the operas were shorter than his overtures, but they do foreshadow the mood and intense drama of the ensuing scenes. Paired together in this transcription are preludes from Ernani and Atilla, his fifth and ninth of 26 operatic works.

£82.50Letters from the Battlefield - Barry E. Kopetz
Letters from the Battlefield was commissioned by the Land of Grant Honor Band to commemorate the end of the American Civil War. The collected letters of U.S. Grant reveal much information about the thoughts and emotions he was experiencing around the events of the Civil War. Some of the letters are tenderhearted, written in moments of sentimental passion; others are very clear and emphatic statements that he will do whatever it takes to bring the war to a close. The many moods and emotions expressed in his correspondence are reflected in the various sections of this powerful and moving work. An outstanding concert work, it is also appropriate for Civil War or patriotic commemorative ceremonies.

£78.95The Stars and Stripes Forever (March) - John Philip Sousa
This arrangement sounds especially great. Andy Balent's setting is so stirring that your audience will want to stand up and salute. You'll find that the simplifications and range adjustments that make this work accessible to young bands have not diminished the excitement one bit. Some sections, such as the dogfight, do push the top end of this level, but with a bit of work, we think you will be thrilled with the outcome. This is a perfect flag waver for young bands.

Ruminations - Sean O'Loughlin
Lush, "reflective," and "pensive" best describe this emotional piece by composer Sean O'Loughlin. Ruminations is chock-full of opportunities for the young band to play expressively and to learn to stretch and pull a phrase. Playing slow, lyrical music is the best way to improve these skills and this year, this is the piece with which to do it.
