£180.00Summer (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - De Meij, Johan
Summer is the second in a series of symphonic poems, inspired by the seasons and the folk music of Scandinavia. In Spring, the composer made use of two Swedish folk tunes, whereas Summer focuses on Finnish folk music. The work opens with an impression of the pastoral landscape of Ostrobothnia, an elongated area on the west coast of Finland. As in Spring, the music continues with a polka, based on the opening bars of Suomis Sang (Song of Finland). After a brief horn interlude, a saxophone quartet plays from behind the stage Ant han dansa med mej (Ant was dancing with me), while the orchestra starts up an ostinato bass line that marks the transition to the finale. A gradual build-up to the 'Sun Theme' from Spring results in a radiant conclusion, with a short quotation from the first Symphony of Jean Sibelius, Finland's musical icon.Duration: 11:30

£60.00Two Bagatelles (Flexible Ensemble - Score and Parts) - Reed, Alfred - Clark, Andy

£68.00Der Tod und das Machen (Death and the Maiden) (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Schubert, Franz - De Meij, Johan
Within the history of art song, the 600+ lieder of Franz Schubert stand supreme, though they were often intended purely for performance in his intimate circle of friends. Schubert arranged Der Tod und das Madchen for string quartet (an indication that he was pleased with the song) in 1824. Johan de Meij has adapted the second movement for concert band, where the majestic Death has an even more impressive appearance in the dark glowing sound of winds. Duration: 3.15

£229.00Extreme Makeover (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - De Meij, Johan
Extreme Make-Over was inspired by a theme from the second movement of Tchaikovsky's String Quartet No.1 (Andante Cantabile). It consists of a number of musical metamorphoses on the theme and includes several excerpts from Tchaikovsky's Fourth and Sixth Symphonies and Romeo and Juliet. The most unconventional element of the work is instrumentation for ten tuned bottles to be played by members of the cornet section. This gives the piece an Indonesian Gamelan effect. Why not give your players something to get their teeth into with this impressive major work. Duration: 16.30

£110.99Pastime with Good Company (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Sparke, Philip
The English king, Henry VIII (1491-1547), is mainly remembered for disposing of his wives on a regular basis and breaking with the Catholic Church when the Pope Clement VII refused to grant him a divorce so he could marry Anne Boleyn. As a young man he was a gifted athlete, dancer and composer, writing many songs, poems and consort pieces (though not Greensleeves, as is often believed). Pastime with Good Company is undoubtedly the best-known of these, written in the first years of the 16th century while he was still a handsome prince, newly married to Catherine of Aragon and the envy of Europe. The lyrics tell of the joys of hunting, dancing and singing and would have been sung as part of the court entertainment.This arrangement features a quartet of soloists and two solo drummers.Duration: 6:00

£84.50Dave Brubeck: It's About Time (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Sayre, Charles
The Dave Brubeck Quartet literally broke the ice regarding odd time signatures with their recordings Time Out and Time Further Out. Today, the ability to play in all time signatures is in every musician's repertoire. Charles Sayre skillfully combines "Take Five," "Unsquare Dance," and "Blue Rondo a la Turk" to take us back to when it all began. This is a magnificent medley! Duration: 4.45

£264.99Poeme Montagnard (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Van der Roost, Jan
Jan Van der Roost received the commission for this work from the Orchestre d'Harmonie du Val d'Aoste and dedicated the composition to Lino Blanchod, the conductor of the orchestra. The first performance was on 26th January 1997 by the orchestra itself and under the direction of the composer. This extensive symphonic poem depicts the atmosphere and history of the autonomous French speaking region Val d'Aoste in northern Italy, and is meant as a musical homage to the historical figure Catherine de Challant. The opening of this piece describes the rugged nature of this region dominated by Mont Blanc, the roof of Europe. A brief, combative passage conjures up the numerous wars fought here through the ages, later expanding into a surprising 'Renaissance Dance' with an original and fitting recorder quartet. A broad, lyrical theme portrays the love that has always played an important role here. After recapturing several of the earlier themes, the piece closes with the renaissance dance, this time played by the brass. A spectacular finale brings this symphonic poem to a close.Duration: 18:30
