£60.50Percussion Production - David Gorham
Young percussionists are featured on this entertaining and powerful work for first-year bands. The percussion parts are energetic and slightly more advanced than the wind parts, keeping everyone completely within their comfort zone of playability. The rhythmic percussion makes the work sound far more advanced than the actual grade level and will be very impressive at first year concerts.

£71.50Full Moon - Joseph Eidson
Full Moon sets a dark and mysterious mood where vampires, werewolves and other unknown figures lurk in the shadows. Emphasizing smooth and lyrical playing, this piece also helps instruct young players how to shape phrases and listen for balance within the overall texture. First heard in the low winds, the melody eventually appears in every section of the band, building to a spine-tingling climax. A spooky reminder to beware the light of the full moon, as you never know what might be waiting in the shadows....

£71.50When Men and Mountains Meet - Scott Watson
Commissioned by the East Stroudsburg Area School District, this work displays the effort and determination it must have taken to establish this community in the Pocono mountains with wall upon wall of rock to be blasted and great masses of earth to be moved. It opens with a broad, somewhat dissonant statement representing the settlers first intimidating encounter with the mountain, followed by a faster, insistent theme as the area is settled and developed. An impressive work for young bands that makes us aware that truly great things are done "when men and mountains meet."

The Clovis North Educational Center opened its doors in the fall of 2007 as part of the Clovis Unified School District in Fresno, California.

£104.50Transit Of Venus - John Philip Sousa
Transit of Venus March was written in 1883 to celebrate the 1882 transit of Venus, an event that happens every 243 years when Venus passes between the Sun and the Earth. The work was erroneously thought to be lost for over 100 years until a piano transcription published in 1896 was found in the Library of Congress. This edition received its first performance by the United States Marine Band on June 6, 2012, which is also the date the actual transit of Venus occurred.

£60.50Woodside Fanfare - Daniel Jones
Several teaching opportunities are presented in this concert opener and the unison rhythms make it an excellent piece for inexperienced bands. Each wind player must play eighth notes; however, the eighth notes are always on consecutive pitches, thus making the piece accessible to beginners. It also contains a first and second ending, accents, and several dynamic changes as well as harmonies that are very basic and easily obtainable for young musicians.

£71.50Aliens Among Us - David Gorham
First they arrived in Aliens Landing (In Your Back Yard!), then they attacked in Alien Invasion, and now theyre here! They must have liked what they found because theyve decided to stay; well disguised and clever, they blend right in - but the spooky and eerie sounds give them away as they try to hide among us.

Batltle Suite - Barry E. Kopetz
Battle Suite is a very programmatic work that musically portrays a battle at a mythical medieval castle. The story begins before the battle itself as the first section depicts the watchtower guards as they keep watch, looking for any indication of danger. The next section, Ursa Major, refers to the evening preceding the attack when the stars are shining and Ursa Major, the constellation that includes the big dipper, shines above in the night skies. The suspense then builds in the third section as we hear the ominous sounds of the approaching enemy.

£121.00Take the Ribbons - Gary P. Gilroy
Take The Ribbons was commissioned by the Northern California Band Association for the 2011 All-Northern High School Honor Band. The composition was inspired by the story of Delia Haskett Rawson (1861-1949) who was the first woman stagecoach driver for the famous Wells Fargo stage line. The fast and unrelenting music takes the listener on a wild and driving stage coach run, with the threat from any number of dangers in close pursuit or around the next bend.
