£109.99Metalla Wind Band Set (Score & Parts)
Metalla was commissioned by the 'Kreisverband Altenkirchen' of Germany and dedicated to Ottomar Jung. The composer himself conducted the premiere of the piece, which was performed by the 'Jugendorchester Kreisverband Altenkirchen' on 25 March 1999.The region of Altenkirchen is known for its iron mines, which find musical expression in the dark mood of the introduction (andante misterioso). This effect is accomplished with overlapping seventh intervals, orchestral crescendos, a succession of broad chords and the presentation of most themes in the middle register of the band.The dynamic section (allegro energico) that follows the introduction is characterized by concise figures in the brass and a second motif, a kind of rippling motion depicting the Sieg River, an important element in the landscape of the Altenkirchen region.The work closes with a final theme that returns a number of times, albeit in different guises. After a brief repeat of the seventh intervals from the beginning, a last radiant chord signals the end of the piece. 0:05:15

Very effective, extremely playable, and oh so pretty. A wonderful change of pace for any concert.

£59.99Maximus Fanfare (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Deleruyelle, Thierry
Maximus Fanfare is a dazzling, energetic work for wind band, conceived as a short, percussive overture in which brass and percussion impose their power from the outset. From the very first bars, an explosion of sound captures attention before giving way to vibrant orchestral development, leading to a triumphal conclusion.This fanfare was inspired by the majestic golden lion that sits atop the belfry in the Place des Hros in Arras, a town with a rich architectural heritage listed by UNESCO. A symbol of strength and grandeur, the lion finds a musical echo in this brilliant work full of panache.Commissioned by the Orchestre d'Harmonie d'Arras, the piece owes its name to Maxime Lavoine, its conductor since 2011, in tribute to his commitment to and passion for wind band music.With Maximus Fanfare, Thierry Deleruyelle has created an intense and luminous work, a musical tribute to the significance of Arras' heritage and the enthusiasm of the musicians who keep it alive.Duration: 2.00

£96.00Long Road (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Esenvalds, Eriks - Littlemore, Philip
Long Road has the simple sincerity of a hymn yet is is both beautiful and lush. At the midway point a gentle susurration of bell-sounds, descant recorders and tin whistles appear over sustained brass. There is a brief downwards shift of a third, followed by an elated return to the home key before the evanescent tinkling ushers the piece to its close. Phillip Littlemore has here created a vivid new version for concert band. Duration: 5:00
