Der Aufstand - Gavin Higgins
Der Aufstand (German for 'riot') is not a descriptive work, nor is it solely based on the riots of 2011. It does, however, draw on the idea of opposing forces and escalating anger. The work falls into two contrasting sections that are linked by a series of repeated, 'screaming' chords. A slow build drives the first section from a single pitch to a blazing orchestral tutti. The second section is a fast and wild series of fanfares and driving rhythms that ultimately cannot be sustained. In many ways this mirrors the first. Both sections open on single tones (Bb and E) and grow to a climax of brass and hammered chords. The first performance took place on the last day of the 2012 Olympic Games. Der Aufstand is a noisy antithesis to the celebratory fanfare.Wind Band Grade: 6 (Professional and elite student and 'national' bands)Duration: 10 minutes

£49.50Let There Be Peace On Earth
A beautiful arrangement of one of the most memorable melodies of all time that makes a wonderful concert piece for any middle school band. Starts out quietly featuring the woodwind section (and optional choir or audience sing-a-long) and then the brass takes over and builds to a big full sound. Great piece to combine choir and band as the finale of your concert. A great message in a great song! Inspiring and impressive!

£91.99Fanfare & Hymn - Bert Appermont
This composition begins with a stately brass fanfare, which leads to a tuneful hymn. After gradual development, both melodies sound together in a grand tutti.Fanfare & Hymn was commissioned by the Royal Concert Band Ons Verlangen, Beverst (Belgium), as a tribute to the committee members and musicians Edgard Thijssen and Jos Appermont. They were like father figures who, with their lasting commitment, helped the band become the thriving music society that it is to this day.Based on this theme, I have tried to evoke various emotions and atmospheres: the pride that characterises the group, nostalgia for the wonderful time both musicians experienced in the band, and finally, deep gratitude for everything they did.Bert Appermont

£59.99Maximus Fanfare - Thierry Deleruyelle
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.
