£64.99Kings and Angels Dancing - David Mairs
Commissioned by the Durham Middle School Wind Ensemble in Lewisville, Texas, in the Fall of 2019, for its first performance under their new Director, Ms. Ellie Murphy, Kings and Angels Dancing begins with a sense of awe and mystery accurately attributed to these two groups - Kings and Angels. Who are they? For what have they come? However, once they bring out the drum, the triangle, and the cymbals, it is apparent that they are here to celebrate. There is even an extra step in their dance, for good measure!

£137.99Morning Star Variations - Bert Appermont
This composition is based on the beautiful chorale melody Wie schn leuchtet der Morgenstern (How beautifully the morning star shines). Like the chorale fantasias by Bach and Buxtehude, this is a fantasia in which the original theme is usedand altered throughout the work in various ways. Slow passages are alternated with fast ones, and finally a grand tutti arrives in which the original chorale theme sounds joyfully in a majestic finale. For extra colour and dimension, an optionalorgan part has been added, that can be used when the circumstances are appropriate. On the full score, the various organ entries are indicated.

£91.90The Hustle - Van McCoy
At the recording sessions for his album 'Disco Baby' (1975) Van McCoy had one extra hour of studio time left and so he wrote 'The Hustle' in a hurry, as a well-known New York disc jockey had told McCoy about a new dance rage. Contrary to McCoy's expectations, this song became a real hit and even a number one hit in the States. In 1976, the song was awarded a Grammy as Best Pop Instrumental Performance.

£52.70House Hunting - J. Bremer
Precisely is with 'On the Rocks', 'Ballad' and 'This is Final', Jetse Bremer succeeds in writing a fine piece of modern band music for youth band by means of rather simple elements. The piece seems a bit repetitive, but at each repetition of the theme an extra instrumental group joins the band and so we get the impression that the piece is developing.Rather simple, but with quite some effects.

£61.00Clarinet Samba - Rodney Parker
It's Carnival Time for the Clarinets! Let your whole clarinet section enjoy this rhythmic Samba. The accompaniment does not need to be too heavy so maybe some of the band could play extra Latin American percussion instruments such as Claves, Cabasa and Conga Drums. You may even get some members of the audience to help!The clarinets are written in their best registers and should be the dominant part at all times particularly in the legato section after Bar 20. Have fun!
