£91.99The Sun Will Rise Again - Philip Sparke
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 tohonour 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 Sparke

£62.95Shadows of the Equinox (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Sheldon, Robert
As summer ends, the chill of the autumn air awakens feelings within us. The shadows are longer in late afternoon and darkness comes early. The trees are losing their leaves and their gnarled trunks and branches take on sinister profiles against the looming twilight. We shudder at the cold wind. Our pulse quickens and we suddenly want to return to the safety and warmth of home. Night falls and we are once again at peace. We say a final farewell to the carefree days of summer and accept the relentless march of the seasons. Winter will soon be here. Duration: 5.30

Commissioned by and written for the Dixon (IL) Municipal Band, "The Stormchasers" is a march in the style of a circus "screamer," featuring fanfares, flourishes and tuneful melodies, all played at a very aggressive tempo. Having been raised in Florida and attending the University of Miami, the composer's nod to "Uncle Henry" is sure to bring a smile to anyone who is a lover of those great Fillmore marches.

£91.99Parade of the Clockwork Soldiers (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Sparke, Philip
This piece was inspired by the composer watching his young son, Benny, playing 'soldiers' with his collection of teddy bears - how appropriate! But it made him think of the many character pieces which take the form of a 'toy march', the most notable examples being by Haydn, Tchaikovsky and Leon Jessel. Parade of the Clockwork Soldiers is in the form of a 'patrol' (starting and ending quietly with a louder middle) and aims to represent a band marching past the listener. In fact, where the hall layout permits it, it could be possible to add a little choreography to the piece, starting and ending with only a few instruments on stage.Duration: 4:30

£58.95TO THOSE WHO SERVE (Concert Band) - Bullock, Jack
"To Those Who Serve" is in the style of a very contemporary concert march. The main theme is introduced by horns and alto saxophones and proceeds with varied instrumental colours, through the related minor key and then back to the original theme with a bold flourish at the finish. It has dynamic rhythmical and melodic impact. The overall effect of this composition is punctuated with the crisp and clean style. A solid choice with a welcoming familiar sound. Duration: 2:11

Battle Of The Winds - Duble
If you've been looking for a march challenge, this is it! "Battle of the Winds" is a classic circus "screamer" that wails from start to finish! Low brass and woodwinds get a workout from top to bottom, and the upper voices squeal in "battle" with the lower voices. Everyone will thrill to the gaudy fun of this vintage circus tune. Not for the faint of heart, and while it's a technical workout, it's well worth the effort. One of the most challenging and exciting marches you'll ever hear!
