£60.50Academic Festival Overture Op.80 (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Brahms, Johannes - Story, Michael
Although conceived as a comical academic musical representation by its renowned composer, this overture is lyrical and exciting. There are opportunities for your students to present sudden stylistic changes and tempo shifts which permit for both performance and teaching. It is still used in a variety of settings (even in its comedic intent) in films and on the more serious concert stage. This arrangement includes generous cuing to accommodate incomplete instrumentations. Classic, familiar and even humorous, it is a sure winner for your developing band.Duration: 3:45

£75.00Holberg Overture (from Masquerade Suite) (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Halvorsen, Johan - Noble, Paul
Masquerade Suite was composed by Johan Halvorsen, one of the best-kept secrets of Norway. Not only was he an accomplished violinist and conductor, but also he was among the most prominent Norwegian composers in the generation following Edvard Grieg. His compositions develop the national Romantic tradition of his friends Grieg and Svendsen, but his was a distinctive style marked by brilliant orchestration inspired by the French Romantic composers. The original version of Masquerade Suite had nine movements. Paul Noble has selected five of the most suitable movements for band transcription and grouped them into this beautiful suite. The U.S. Navy Band in Washington, D.C. gave the premiere performance of this work. The first movement, Holberg Overture, sets the mood, pace, and musical themes for the entire suite, with rousing opening themes, followed by a grand fugue in the development section. This is clearly a piece for accomplished bands, giving all wind players a real workout. Each of the succeeding movements has a distinctive style, making the suite a significant addition to the repertoire of the Concert Band. Especially noteworthy is the Arietta, the easiest of the movements, and can easily stand alone with its haunting flute and oboe melodies and dramatic crescendo, the crisp solos in the Molinasque, and the final movement, which is very much like a circus march, fast, lively and short!

£41.50Wind Mountain Overture (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Hodges, Steve
A strong, jubilant melody and a reflective middle section in 5/4 time highlight this exciting overture. An active percussion part drives the piece forward before settling into the minor section, where the lyrical melody is supported by an equally expressive countermelody. This section moves smoothly in 5/4, building to an effective climax before returning to the recapitulation and dynamic conclusion. Duration: 3.15

£53.95Overture 1812 (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Tchaikovsky, Peter Ilyich - Story, Michael
Most musicians dislike the term "watered-down," so we asked Michael Story to present this classic overture with musical integrity and honesty but to simplify the complicated orchestral writing to be playable by a very young band or ensemble. We think you will agree: This arrangement succeeds admirably! Duration: 2.00

£53.50Queenwood Overture (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - McGinty, Anne
Ingeniously built on a single melodic fragment first stated by the trumpets, the opening section of this very easy overture alternates between a bold full band statement and a more lyrical melody in the woodwinds. A contrasting slow section features a flowing melody in the woodwinds with trumpet answering statements before returning to the fast tempo. First published in 1984, this is a proven winner for beginning bands.

£60.99Thunderbolt (A P-47 Tribute) - Johnnie Vinson
The P-47 Thunderbolt was one of the workhouse airplanes of World War II, becoming the most produced, and also largest single piston engine fighter plane in history. This dramatic overture for band musically tells the story of thislegendary plane. (The composer's father piloted a P-47 during the war in 1944). The opening heroic strain is contrasted with a slow, reflective middle section before returning to the fast theme and exciting conclusion. Aterrific-sounding and expertly scored overture, this will make a perfect choice for contest or festival. Dur: 4:40
