£78.00Handel 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

This composition is an episodic work that paints a musical portrait of Red Rock Mountain, a beautiful mountain landscape in Pennsylvania.

As the sun rises and sheds light on its peaks, the music becomes lyrical and rhythmically incisive, culminating in a heroic brass finale depicting the grandeur of these stunning East Coast mountains.Duration: 6:00

£60.50Variations on a Civil War Tune (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Story, Michael
This traditional tune, "The Cumberland's Crew," was inspired by the historic gunship battle between the wooden Cumberland and the ironclad Virginia in 1862. The light and airy melody in 3/4 time develops a variety of textures and voicings and builds to a dramatic conclusion. This is an ideal choice to showcase the musicality of your developing band.Duration: 2:30

£52.95Helios Rising (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Stalter, Todd
In Greek mythology, Helios is a Titan who faithfully drove the Sun's chariot across the sky each day, disappearing in the west into Oceanus (the ocean, which the Greeks believed encircled the Earth), and rising out of it again in the east the next morning. Helios' journey at sunrise is referenced musically by the ascending leap in the main theme and the strong driving rhythms of the low winds and percussion. The contrasting light and dark textures in the slow section depict twilight inevitably giving way to the darkness of night.Duration: 2:45

£44.95Across the Hills (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Wiffin, Rob
This short overture, originally titled Sapper 300 was commissioned for the 300th Anniversary of the Corps of Royal Engineers in July 2016. It is formed from the Royal Engineers Regimental March Wings and the Corps song Hurrah for the CRE. Wings itself comprises two tunes - The Path across the Hills and Flugel! Flugel!. Hurrah for the CRE is sung to the traditional South African tune Daar le die ding. All the main melodic material is derived from one of these, although they are often spliced together in unusual ways and set in a manner progressing from dark to light. The work was first performed at the ?€Sapper 300?€ Concert at Rochester Castle, 17 July 2016.

£75.00New Year (Concert Band with Optional Choir - Score and Parts) - Rutter, John - Noble, Paul
The text of New Year is as poignant as the music itself, and gives a depth of meaning to the piece: Turn your eyes to the light, cast away the works of darkness, let them go; Turn your face to the sun, feel the warmth, the hope of new beginnings with each new year. The beauty and simplicity of this piece will bring significance and warmth to a seasonal concert.

£64.50Daybreak (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Strommen, Carl
Daybreak was written as programmatic depiction of the evolution of an ordinary day, from sunrise to sunset. The music moves from quietly subdued to light and fanciful, then to broad and melodic, and finally to a driving, muscular, and powerfully dissonant conclusion.Duration: 4:00
