£54.95FANTASY ON NORDIC THEMES (Concert Band) - Erickson, Frank

This is a comprehensive designed "folk music" tune that generally covers peasant songs and instrumental pieces which have survived from earlier times.

£45.95TWO SONGS OF MORNING (Concert Band) - Erickson, Frank

The Gaelic Melody used in movement tow is the well-known "Morning has Broken". Upon conclusion of the eight-bar introduction, the first presentation of the theme appears in the first trumpet accompanied by the expressive style throughout the movement, and students will enjoy the challenge of having to play the extended phrases needed to bring this music to life.

£58.95TWO SONGS WITHOUT WORDS (Concert Band) - Holst, Gustav - Erickson, Frank
Two Songs Without Words was composed in 1906 and was dedicated to Ralph Vaughan Williams and is similar in style to his two suites for band. The Country Song opens with the principal theme as an unaccompanied clarinet solo, followed by its repetition in the full woodwind section. The main theme returns in a "maestoso" setting before fading into a quite closing. Marching Song is characterized by a distinctive running sixteenth note figure. The principal melody, first played by the low woodwinds, is punctuated by these same running sixteenth note fragments. Both themes are again repeated with much variation before the tempo picks up into a short coda-style ending.
