Down From The Shimmering Sky - James Curnow
A concert "centerpiece", this major work from James Curnow explores the spiritual perspectives of the First Nations of the Pacific Northwest in North America. The five movements investigate the "Cosmos" and its four "Worlds". With such complete contrasts as "The Undersea World" and the ceremonial dance in "The Mortal World", an authentic First Nations melody in "The Spirit World" and the ethos of "The Sky World", the wonders are many. Your performance of "Down From The Shimmering Sky" will be meaningful and memorable for musicians and audience alike. This is a landmark piece for concert band.

Whirlwinds - John Kinyon
A rhythmic Allegretto theme opens this ABA piece in grand fashion. The first theme will give your band the opportunity to work on a wide variety of 16th-note rhythms while paying attention to dynamics and phrasing. The second theme is in 3/4 time and is slower. It features a swirling melody that gives the piece its distinctive name. The piece then returns to the up-tempo first theme and closes the work with a loud, accelerando ending. (Grade 1---Easy)

£90.30Salutations! - Alfred Reed
This powerful opening tune by the American composer Alfred reed was commissioned by the Rissho Kosei-kai Organization. The music is based on two contrasting groups of motifs.The first group consists of a number of fanfare-like figures that immediately suggest the festive character of the piece. The second group consists of the development of a long melodic line at times interrupted by the fanfare motifs of the first group. As the figures from both groups get more interwoven, the composition returns to the impressive character of the opening and gets more powerful towards the mighty conclusion.

£154.60Rendezvous - Torstein Aagaard-Nilsen
Rendezvous was commissioned by Krohnengen Brass Band for their 50th Anniversary in 2019. This version for Concert Band was scored autumn 2020.Rendezvous is devided into three sections. Each section are referring to Edvard Grieg's own titles. but twisted, to make sure that everybody understand that this music is a mash-up of themes Edvard Grieg used in opus 54 (for piano) and opus 61 (songs for children).1. Trolltog med avsporing (March of the Trolls derailment)March of the Trolls is a famous part of Edvard Grieg lyric pieces, opus 54.2. Klokkeklang i feil sang (Bell ringing in wrong tune).Bell ringing show that Grieg was one of the first composers to write the way impressionists did. What happens if this beatiful piece is combined with several other themes from the same book? It somehow works in its own way.3. Pep talk til Blakken (Pep talk to Blakken)The riff used in the first part becomes an important part of the third part: a funky treat of the childrens song "Kveldssang for Blakken" (Evening song for Blakken).I felt that a rather tired old horse needed a pep talk more than a slow tune. So that is why you get this music(!) - and this is how my rendezvous with Grieg ends.Not sure what maestro Grieg would have thougt... But, I have read that the fiddlers that played the tunes Grieg used was not happy with the way Grieg used them.So there you go...Torstein Aagaard-Nilsen
