£186.20Concerto for Alto Saxophone and Band - Ronald Binge
Ronald Binge was born on 15 July 1910 at Derby, England. He studied harmony and counterpoint on his own and tried his hand at arranging and composing during the many years he worked as a pianist and musician in movie theatres. In 1934 he met the conductor of Italian descent Annunzio Paolo Mantovani (1905-1980) and started writing numerous arrangements for the symphony orchestra of this very popular conductor. In fact, Binge is the inventor of the famous 'Mantovani Sound' (with echo effects by the strings) which charmed and pleased millions of music lovers and television spectators all over Europe in the fifties and sixties. In 1952 he scored a hit with ' Elisabethan Serenade'. Binge also wrote classical music and even a series of wind band compositions such as the most popular 'Cornet Carillon'. Ronald Binge died on 6 September 1979 at Ringwood. He dedicated his Concerto for Alto Saxophone (1956) to the famous American saxophone virtuoso Sigurd Rascher (1907-2001), the pioneer of the classical saxophone. At the request of the Dutch wind band publisher Pieter Jan Molenaar, Binge wrote a version for symphonic band. Unfortunately both the editor and the composer died some time later in 1979 and could not attend the premiere of this version by the Dutch Royal Marine Band conducted by Jaap Koops and with Johan Perik as soloist. The concerto consists of three parts. In the dynamic and quick 'Allegro Spirituoso' one can hear the melody alternately with the soloist and the accompanying band. The second part is more lyrical, though passionate as well and it is better known as it is often performed on itself under its title 'Romance'. The final part 'Rondo Allegro Giocoso' is written in rondo form as its title indicates and it allows the soloist to demonstrate his virtuosity in a very lively dialogue with he band.

£110.99Overture for Woodwinds - Philip Sparke
This work was commissioned for The Berkshire Young Musicians Trust (England), who required a testing piece for the woodwind section of their concert band. The piece opens with a strong unison passage based on the interval of a fifth and develops with a passionate legato. This is followed by the main vivo section of the work based on the earlier 'fifth' figures. A bridge passage leads to a short chorale figure and a rhythmic climax which dissolves into a plaintive solo for oboe over staccato clarinets. Following a recapitulation of the main theme the oboe returns triumphantly before the opening unison passage reappears to provide a stirring coda.

£94.99Eagle Squadron March - Kenneth J. Alford
When the Second World War began, the British March King Kenneth J. Alford (pseudonym for Major F. J. Ricketts, R.M.) was increasingly in bad health and had composed relatively little music recently. As Hitler's armies marched victoriously across Europe, Britain was soon alone facing the Nazi peril. Alford's great contribution to the war effort was the composition of two of his great masterpieces, ARMY OF THE NILE, celebrating the first Allied victories over the Germans in North Africa and EAGLE SQUADRON. The latter of these marches celebrates American airmen who travelled to England during the early years of the war (before the entry of the United States into the conflict) to volunteer for service with the Royal Air Force, serving with great distinction during the Battle of Britain. Alford skillfully weaves a number of well-known tunes into the fabric of the music, including the Royal Air Force March and The Star-Spangled Banner, while also including a reference to the Siegfried motive from Wagner's Ring of the Nibelung. Mark Rogers' edition of this classic march includes a handsome full score and concert size set of parts.

£60.99New Forest March - Johnnie Vinson

Dur: 2:10 (Grade 2)
