    Handel in the Strand (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Grainger, Percy Aldridge - Rohrer, Thomas P.

    This delightful Grainger classic was written to depict a jolly old George Friedrich Handel careening down the Strand (the theatre district of London) accompanied by the English popular music of the day. Given the original instrumentation and label as a chamber piece in Grainger's original publication, this transcription is taken directly from Grainger's "four-some" edition of 1912, transposed down a step from G to F major. It is scored to best depict the light (and sometimes percussive) quality of the piano along with the lyrical flow of the strings and the general character of chamber music. Ultimately, the "room music" quality of the original shines through in this skilful transcription while depicting the spirit of the piece in a way that Grainger might have chosen.Duration: 3:35

    See the Conquering Hero Comes - By George Freidrich Handel / arr. Edward Kennedy

    See the Conquering Hero Comes was composed by the great baroque composer George Friedrich Handel and is a chorus from his popular Oratorio Judas Maccabaeus. The work was composed in 1746 and was first performed in Covent Garden, London in 1747. In 1884, Edmund Louis Budry wrote new words to this chorus to create the very stirring and well known hymn "Thine Be the Glory." This theme and variations arrangement of Handel's famous piece features all sections of the band and makes a very effective concert opener or finale for young bands. "Effective as an opener or closer, this is a satisfying way to introduce students to a significant composer." - The Instrumentalist

    Introduction And Dance (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Handel, George Frideric

    George Frederick Handel (1685-1759) originally wrote this "Sarabande" as the third movement of his Suite No. 4 for harpsichord. Ralph Gingery expertly arranged this rich stately music (used as the theme in the film "Barry Lyndon") for successful performance by younger bands. However, the work also remains a rewarding and valuable piece for more mature ensembles.

    Fanfare Prelude (O God, Our Help in Ages Past) (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Curnow, James

    Fanfare Prelude: O God, Our Help in Ages Past is based on the hymn-tune St. Anne, which was used by G.F. Handel in the Chandos anthem, O Praise the Lord, and by J.S. Bach in his triple fugue in E-flat, The St. Anne Fugue. James Curnow's Fanfare Prelude: O God, Our Help in Ages Past captures the thoughts of this magnificent hymn, which speaks of America's reliance upon God. The unusual 4/4 meter setting with artfully crafted re-harmonisations and lush counterpoint gives each listener cause to reflect on the importance and meaning of this melody to patriotic Americans everywhere. Inspired!Duration: 4.00

    HEAVIER WATER (Programme Concert Band) - Handel, George Frideric - Wiffin, Rob

    In the mid-1970's, the Band of the Coldstream Guards made it into the pop charts with a rock version of Handel's Water Music entitles Heavy Water. The concept has been reworked and the result is this funk version, Heavier Water. Although the piece features the bass guitar, it works perfectly well without it. Duration: 4:00

    March from Scipio (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Handel, George Frideric - Sparke, Philip

    Handel's opera Scipio was written in 1725 and performed the following year in the King's Theatre, London. Following Handel's death his operas fell into obscurity until the 1960s when they experienced a major revival. This famous march from Scipio has however remained popular since its first performance and has been the Regimental Slow March of the British Grenadier Guards since the 18th century. The march is fairly simple and gives young bands the opportunity to play a well-known baroque melody which should be well within their technical ability.Duration: 2:15
