£75.00The Barber of Seville Goes to the Devil (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Jacob, Gordon - Noble, Paul
Gordon Jacob (1895-1984), one of Malcolm Arnold's teachers at the Royal College of Music, was represented in the first Hoffnung. This rumbustious parody of Rossini's style was composed in 1960 for the BBC Concert Orchestra, which introduced it under Vilm Tausky in a broadcast concert that year. (Tausky added the opening bars, in fact, with the composer's approval, which are included in this arrangement.) The piece is a no-holds-barred workout on familiar material such as could be brought off only by a certified master of the modern orchestra with a free-wheeling imaginativeness to match his/her technical skill. Concert Bands and their audiences will get in on the fun of this rousing parody, exploring everything from a Spanish dance to a Street parade.

£54.95Two Movements from William Byrd Suite - Gordon Jacob
Of all of Gordon Jacob's major contributions to the British wind band repertoire, the William Byrd Suite (written in 1923) stands as his most-often programmed work. Though originally based on six movements from William Byrd's Fitzwilliam Virginal Book, this setting for developing band incorporates two contrasting movements including "The Earle of Oxford's Marche" and "Wolsey's Wilde." Like Jacob's wind band work, the music is not a mere transcription from the original keyboard collection, but rather stylized with his own inventive musical spirit for modern concert band. A wealth of material here that opens doors to teachable moments as musical textures---dynamic contrasts, articulations, scoring options---are continually changing. Bravo! (2:33) This title is available in SmartMusic.

£84.95The Galloping Major (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Bastow, George - Jacob, Gordon
During the 1940's, BBC radio listeners enjoyed a weekly comedy programme, which starred the comedian Tommy Handley, called It's That Man Again (ITMA). A feature of each programme was a witty arrangement for orchestra of a popular or Music Hall song. These were always made specially for the programme, many were by Jacob, Gordon. The Galloping Major was an ITMA arrangement. A popular Music Hall tune from the Victorian era, in Jacob, Gordon's hands, becomes a musical gem. This new version for Concert Band, transcribed by Steadman-Allen, Ray, retains all the fun of the original.
