The Dark Ages (CB) - Kevin Van Giel
The Middle Ages are in the history of Europe during the period between classical antiquity and the modern era, roughly between the years 500 and 1500 AD. Traditionally this period was situated between the fall of the Western Roman Empire in the fifth century and the Renaissance that began in Italy from the fourteenth century. In this work the composer outlines three important events in the Middle Ages, which were also known as The Dark Ages.

£64.00Shadow of the Sphinx
Shadow of the Sphinx transports listeners to ancient Egypt, where the relentless labor of workers who built monuments in the desert was marked by exhaustion and pride. The music evokes the vastness of the desert and the mysterious grandeur of the Great Sphinx. The piece uses light percussion to mimic the movement of camels and slow, deliberate melodies to reflect the weariness of the workers. Attention to precision and balance between the instruments will help recreate the mystical, ancient atmosphere.

£56.00Anthem of the Mountain Yeti
Anthem of the Mountain Yeti imagines the mysterious and wild spirit of the legendary creature. The piece features the signature yeti call in the trombone and horn sections, evoking the untamed wilderness and towering cliffs. Most of the notes are played in a staccato style, with a contrasting legato section in m. 21. The trombone and horn glissandi add to the chaotic, unpredictable nature of the yeti, with a sudden change to a calmer section before returning to the wild energy. This exciting and vibrant work captures the legendary creature's essence.

£41.00The Gauntlet - Matthew R. Putnam
The Gauntletis a piece written to sound bold and exciting while also being accessible to young performers with a limited range. Simple yet bold rhythms add excitement, heightened by the fact that every section has an opportunity to play melodic content. The interesting "development" section provides a contrast to the opening and helps to build the suspense before the return of the main theme. The percussion helps to drive the energy of the piece by providing a variety of colorful sounds including a gong solo at the end to signal the knight's triumph.

£41.00The Dark Crusader - Donald Josuweit
This is the perfect song for teaching 6/8 time. It is all very easy with eighth notes in groups of 3 only. No quarter/eighth rhythms, so it is easy to get the students to feel the triple meter. It is also a great song for getting the first clarinet players to play over the break. For the 1st half of the song, they play low notes. From low A, they press the register key and get the E in the staff, thus making it easy and fun to play the higher notes. It is an exciting work and one of NMP's best sellers. The first trumpet's highest note is C.

£40.00Go With The Flow
Andrew Balent has risen to the challenge of creating a stimulating piece of music from the limited ranges and rhythms possible at this grade level. Subtle rock elements and the contrast between the 4/4 meter of the vigorous opening and the meter of the slower, legato music in the contrasting section, give the director an occasion for discussing the various approaches to meter required in even the easiest music.

£106.99The River Knows Your Name - Jacob de Haan
This work describes the way the German river Saar holds the names of all the people who once lived in the area and of those who live there now. The introduction depicts the river flowing toward its confluence with the Mosel. The first names revealed by the river, in a dance, are those of the Romans, who established their first settlement here. Then the beautiful Saar Cathedral is portrayed, where believers give voice to the names of the people they know. Next, a powerful passage resounds: a reflection of the entrepreneurial spirit in Dillingen that has taken shape through the famous metal industry. Via a short clarinet solo, the work flows toward its conclusion in an emotional, stirring fashion, from nostalgic strains to full-blown euphoria.
