£62.95Prairie Dance (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Docter, Zachary
In Zach Docter's Prairie Dance, every instrument gets a chance to shine. A simple tune starts in the clarinets. As it's passed through the ensemble, it grows louder before culminating in a rhythmic Americana-esque hoedown that would make Copland proud. After this spirited climax, the tune winds down before ending quietly with the clarinets, precisely as it began. Every instrument group is featured in this piece. Transparency allows students to gain experience playing in thin textures, which may be a new experience at this grade level.Duration: 1.45

£145.00The First Shoot (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Walton, William - Noble, Paul
The First Shoot was written and first performed in 1935 for the ballet Follow the Sun. The original music was lost, but reconstructed for brass band, and later for orchestra by Christopher Palmer. This Concert Band arrangement is based on that orchestra score. It is a charming look back (one can imagine the music that might have accompanied a Charlie Chaplin movie!) Concert bands will experience a worthwhile challenge in bringing this wonderfully tuneful music to their audiences, as well as the broadening of their own musical experience.

£134.99Four Original Warm-Ups for Band (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Appermont, Bert
From his experience as a conductor and adjudicator, Bert Appermont knows that bands often experience the same problems: lack of sound control, intonation difficulties, uncontrolled articulation and insufficient phrasing. Practising these aspects is very demanding and there is little material available that is also enjoyable to play. Four Original Warm-Ups consists of four fun warm-up pieces. Each piece focuses on one of the problems without the music being dull. The four pieces work equally well when played together or as individual items either at rehearsals or in a concert.

£149.99Out of the Darkness, into the Light (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Sparke, Philip
Out of the Darkness, Into the Light is about optimism. All of us experience disappointments in our lives, such failed relationships or the loss of loved ones, but the indomitably of the human spirit allows us to overcome such set backs and get through the darker moments. For some, faith and religion may be the answer, but this piece is more about the internal strength that we can all call upon.Opening in sombre mood, the first phase of the work symbolises the doubts we all have about ourselves and our lives. The opening phrase on solo clarinet appears throughout the piece and could be seen as the central idea of the work, the human spirit itself. The faster, central section is about the struggle to overcome the pain we experience and at bar 88 the moment of catharsis occurs. This signals a change of mood and from then on, the clarinet motif is transformed into a feeling of joy and optimism. We have entered the light.Duration: 8:30
