£61.00Transeamus usque ad Bethlehem - Franz Schneider
The original piece was written by Franz Schneider (1737- 1812), organist and musical director at the Benedictine abbey of Melk on the Danube, for choir, string quartet, two trumpets and timpani. This arrangement can be performed with choir and band, without choir or by a mixed ensemble or band. Instead of using the complete choir, one can also only use the first choir part solo with accompaniment of the quartet parts. Therefore, the four part mixed choir score has alternatively been arranged for multipart wind ensemble (from a quartet).The original string parts have been arranged for symphonic band. Thanks to the cue notes, the passages intended for large band can also be performed by smaller ensembles in a most satisfactory way. The various instrumentation possibilities are clearly indicated in the instrumentation lists of the wind quartet and orchestra. The complete percussion part is totally 'ad libitum'.

£130.10Boudewijn Harmonie (Drijvers) - Boudewijn de Groot
With this medley 'Boudewijn' arranger Gerhart Drijvers pays a tribute to one of the greatest composers of original Dutch songs. Indeed, in collaboration with Lennaert Nijgh, Boudewijn de Groot wrote numerous fine songs for other artists as well as for himself. In this medley you can hear successively the songs 'Strand' (Beach), 'Beneden alle peil' (No level at all), 'Mijnheer de President' (Mister President), 'Tante Julia' (Aunt Julia) and, of course, 'Avond' (Evening). Thanks to these great successes 'Boudewijn' will not only be an extremely popular concert piece for all Dutch speaking audiences, but any audience.

£83.30Elsa's Procession - Richard Wagner
Wagner composed his opera Lohengrin about 1849. This splendid piece is extracted from that opera. It describes a huge procession of nicely dressed guests headed by Elsa walking through the cathedral gate. The guests take their seats while Elsa proceeds to the altar to marry Lohengrin, the 'Swan Knight'. A brilliant theme starts in a subtle way and swells in some minutes into one of the absolute highlights of the late romantic period.

£173.60Fantastic Variations - Luís Carvalho
This is an extremely impressive and important work, which demands the highest level from both musicians and conductor. The subtitle of Fantastic Variations is 'Homage to Duarte Ferreira Pestana', referring to one of the most inspired composers for Portuguese bands, and there are moments in the piece of clear allusion to the works of Duarte Ferreira (specifically to his most famous work 'Arco-ris' [Rainbow]).

£56.50Movin' Up! - Dean Jones
The beat just rolls on! Movin' Up! is very much a sequel to Dean Jones' previous work Hangin' On! There are the usual sounds you'd expect from a swing band piece: vibrant sounding from the trumpets and trombones and then a layered harmonious texture from the horns and baritones. There's also scope for some top class solo work too around the band. There is one twist at the end... the pace is slowed down, the 'top button and bow tie loosened', but the scene is set and concluded with exciting brass sounds.

The Seven Summits are the highest mountains of each of the seven continents. Using the concept of the summits, this piece explores the rush of adrenaline, the pounding of the heart, and the sheer joy of being one with nature. The middle slower section represents the pitfalls and difficulties of climbing the mountains, demonstrated by the several accidentals and mature chordal progressions. Finally, the end brings the climber's triumphant return to base camp! 1st trumpet's highest note is G.

£228.70Pulsar - The Metamorphosis of a Star - John Brakstad
4th July in 1054 AD one of the most spectacular events was witnessed in the Cosmos. A massive star blew out; a supernova explosion.From the Earth it appeared as a new, bright star; the most brilliant in the sky. It was visible for three weeks, also in daylight, before it then faded away.But what was left of it is spectacular. Today we call it the "Crab Nebula".And in the very centre of the Nebula lies the remnant of the star; the core crushed by the force of gravity.This is a rotating neutron star, a pulsar, just 20 kilometres across, but so dense that it weighs more than our sun.As the neutron star spins, ejected particles stream out from its poles at almost the speed of light.These jets create powerful beams that sweep around as the star rotates.When the beams sweep across the Earth, they can be heard as regular pulses. We call them pulsars.In this piece there are three percussion parts. In addition there is an "optional part" to replace the marimba and vibraphone written in the three original percussion parts if desired. This fourth part is shown in the full score.
