£104.50Tropes - John Prescott
This brilliant work applies the ancient practice of tropes to this powerful composition that sets a high standard in wind band literature. Repeated wind and percussion patterns and ostinati represent centuries of rituals and are stated in unmistakably bold fashion. In the central section, members of the ensemble create a haunting effect by whispering "Kyrie eleison, Christe eleison, Kyrie eleison" as though they are voices echoing from centuries past. This mixture of old and new celebrates the ageless quality of music in resounding style.

£82.50Echoes from the Battlefield - Darren W. Jenkins
Echoes from the Battlefield was written to mark the 100th anniversary of World War I. It presents four popular songs from that era.

The warm and moving Keep the Home Fires Burning then follows before closing with the jaunty and morale-boosting Pack Up Your Troubles in an Old Kit Bag.

Santa's Toy Shop - Robert E. Foster
Santa's Toy Shop paints a vivid picture of a very busy holiday scene as Santa's elves are hard at work making gifts to have ready for delivery. All the hustle and bustle you'd expect are vividly showcased by the percussion section. This fun adaption of "Jolly Old St. Nicholas" is given a special twist by using numerous sound effects (anvil, woodblock, duck call, vibra-slap, train whistle, triangle, ratchet, siren/whistle, and bells) to represent the assembling of toys in Santa's toy shop. A really fun selection for that holiday concert, featuring the percussion section with a lot of different sounds from Santa's toys. Good performances demonstrate good dynamic contrasts.

£82.50Celtic Journey - Robert E. Foster Jr.
Celtic Journey is based on a memorable old Irish jig called Road to Lisdoonvarna. The setting begins lyrically with a simple statement that gradually adds more instruments as it builds to the sprightly middle section. With the full ensemble playing the tuneful melody and driving Irish rhythms in the percussion section, you hear all the color and flair thats exemplified by great Irish folk music.

£71.50Trouble at Santas Workshop - Porter Eidam
Santa bought a newfangled toy assembly machine, and the elves have been assigned to keep this beast running! The percussion section gets to take center stage as they portray this contraption that continually breaks down despite the frustrated elves frantic efforts to keep it going. The favorite carol Jolly Old St. Nicholas (and a slight nod to Mr. Pachelbel) acts as the musical adhesive that holds this amusing holiday adventure together. Enjoy!

£104.50The Road to Castlemaine - Barry E. Kopetz
A collection of Australian folk songs that depict the sights and sounds of the beautiful landscape with an Aussie twist and tongue-in-cheek tuneful way. The first movement includes The Wonderful Crocodile and The Old Jig-Jog, folk songs full of energy and dance-like qualities. River Fraser provides the melodic content for the second movement, a slow and impassioned lament. The third movement uses three popular tunes that range in style from joyful dancing as in an Irish reel, to a poignant and haunting flavor, to a brave and dramatic march that dies away bit by bit prior to an explosive ending of energy and good humor.
