£76.99Dies Irae
A long standing favorite in the band repertoire, Verdi's famous opus, best known as the Manzoni Requiem is now available in this new version, designed for playability by most high school groups. Jay Bocook has retained the essence of the original by carefully placing the challenging, technical material in the skilled sections of the band (flute, 1st clar., alto sax). From the hard driving, signature opening with the solo bass drum, to the triumphant trumpet calls of the finale, this is classic literature your band should experience.

£57.50Prelude And Pursuit - Michael Sweeney
John Barnes Chance composed his landmark work for band, Incantation and Dance, in 1960 while in residence at the high school in Greensboro, North Carolina. Commissioned by the Union County (NC) Honor Band, Prelude and Pursuit paystribute to this important composition and its North Carolina connection. A haunting chant-like theme played by the clarinets sets the tone for the slow section. Similar to Chance's work, the fast section begins with percussioninstruments introducing thematic elements later picked up and developed by the winds. Intensifying rhythmic elements, as well as carefully controlled random playing effects, contribute to an overall sense of excitement andanticipation. Themes are woven throughout various sections of the band before the opening chant motif makes a brief dramatic appearance near the end. A great teaching tool for young players, Prelude and Pursuit also provides arewarding performance experience. Dur: 4:50
