£45.95The Gentle Aire (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Milner, Barry
The Aire River in northern England is typically known for its picturesque settings. Although it runs through several major cities, a majority of the Aire winds its way though rolling hills and small towns, and is known as a tourist attraction for many villages in England. The gentle, calm, and modal nature of the melody in this charming piece is meant to evoke imagery of the Aire River flowing though country sides of Yorkshire.Duration: 2:00

£91.99The Sun Will Rise Again (Concert Band - Score & Parts) - Sparke, Philip
The composer writes:On March 11th 2011 a massive 9.0- magnitude earthquake occurred off the coast of north-eastern Japan. I'm writing these programme notes barely a week later and the death toll caused by the quake and resulting tsunami already exceeds 6000, with thousands of people still unaccounted for. I have many friends associated with many bands throughout Japan and one of these, Yutaka Nishida, suggested I write a piece to raise money to help those affected by the disaster. I was immediately attracted by the idea and have arranged Cantilena (a brass band piece recently commissioned by the Grenland International Brass Festival, Norway) for wind band, giving it a new title to honour my friends in the Land of the Rising Sun. I will be donating royalties from this piece to the Japanese Red Cross Society Emergency Relief Fund and am delighted to say that my distributors, De Haske, who will generously also donate all net profits from sales of this piece, have pledged a substantial advance payment to the Red Cross so that what little help this project generates can be immediate. It is my sincere wish that this 'Band Aid' project will allow wind bands around the world support the people of Japan, where bands are a way of life for many, in this difficult time.- Philip SparkeDuration: 4:30

£134.99Le Nozze di Figaro (The Marriage of Figaro) (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Mozart, Wolfgang Amadeus - Takahashi, Tohru
In 1786, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart composed his wonderful opera Le Nozzi di Figaro. In the opera Count Almaviva tries to seduce the fianc?e of Figaro, his valet. Eventually, through four acts full of complicated intrigue, he is outwitted. In his music, Mozart, at times in a humorous way, reflects the numerous social and erotic intrigues with both empathy and insight. The brilliant overture is just as vivacious and witty as the opera itself. Mozart delightfully anticipates the passion and playful love that is to come. The skilful transcription for concert band by the Japanese composer Tohru Takahashi certainly does justice to this enchanting music.

£91.99The Last Typewriter - Jacob de Haan
This work describes the history and development of the typewriter in the newspaper world. The typical typing sound is the connecting thread, while a variety of music styles follow one another. In the end, the old familiar writing device is defeated when it has to make way for the computer. The composition features solos for various instruments that accompany the recurring typewriter. In a theatrical context, offering room for original ideas, the musical narrative will come across even better.

£244.99The Last Friend of NAPOLEON - Dirk Brossé
The Last Friend of Napoleon is based on a true piece of Dutch history. In October 1813, when Napoleon was beaten after his unsuccessful Russian campaign, the French withdrew from the Netherlands. At the beginning of 1814, the whole country had been liberated except for the town of Delfzijl, still occupied by French troops. This programmatic work is about political and military stubbornness, chasing dreams, and about love always following its own unequalled way. Being one of the most acknowledged composers of today, Dirk Bross has created an epic work that depicts a dramatic story, using the full range of the symphonic band resulting in challenging brass passages, a widerange of percussion and a lot of strong, beautiful and melodic material.
