£76.99Tight Squeeze - Alex Shapiro
From the acclaimed composer of Paper Cut, AlexShapiro, this unique, high-energy work could bedescribed by the following: imagine Arnold Schoenberg,Henry Mancini, and Charlie Parker walking into adance club in Havana, and staying for three minutes. Tight Squeeze ventures into new territory as it exploreschromaticism and syncopation against a prerecordedpercussion groove. The result is the repertoire's first electroacoustictwelve-tone techno Latin bebop band piece! Okay, maybe Schoenbergdid all that first, but it never sounded quite like this! To perform the piece, you'll need an audio system capable of playing the prerecorded audio tracks from a laptop computer via a small digital audio interface connected to an audio mixer. Download information is provided in the printed piece.

The first movement describes how passionate Count von Zeppelin was about his idea and the vision that got hold of him. Towards the endof the movement the music swells to a pictorial image of the count, in which he sees the ship floating above himself. Dur: 8:05 (Grade 5)

Excalibur - James Swearingen
This is an exceptional concert or festival piece for the end of the first year or for second year bands. It contains all of the unmistakable Swearingen magic and yet remains very playable. A great vehicle for teaching syncopation as well as musical style, all of the ranges are very moderate, and with the exception of a few notes in the first clarinet part, all of the clarinets remain below the break.
