£54.99The Hammer of Thor - Darren W. Jenkins
The Hammer of Thor is a musical work that depicts the power and might of the well-known Norse god Thor and his thunderous weapon. Depicted in mythology as one of the most fearsome weapons of all time, the legend tells of it being capable of leveling huge mountains. Performed with energy and force by young bands, it will certainly be as impressive as the hammer described in legend and lore.

£71.50The Haunted Carousel - Joseph Eidson
The Haunted Carousel is a slightly off-kilter waltz that introduces young players to the concept of meter changes without being overly complex. Imagine a circus that only comes to life at midnight, where tents glow in the darkness while ghostly figures appear and disappear. Haunting music comes from a carousel that turns with faint images on the dusty seats, breaking the eerie silence of the night. As the piece ends, the coda slowly fades out with the rising sun and the circus fades like a distant dream.

Who can forget the legend of the ominous headless horseman as told in The Legend of Sleepy Hollow?

£104.50The Exultant Heart - Jess Turner
The Exultant Heart is the winner of the NBA/Merrill Jones Composition Contest and is nothing short of remarkable. The hauntingly beautiful opening is followed by a joyful middle section that features a lively dance, alluding to a rustic wedding dance complete with drum and tambourine. The first theme then returns in a choral-like setting as the dance rhythm continues, gradually settling down to a return of the opening mood while chimes improvise like church bells fading in the distance. Absolutely spellbinding!

£104.50The Valley of Darkness - Barry E. Kopetz
The Valley of Darkness . . . eerie . . . overgrown . . . unchartered . . . an echo of an era long past. The music tells the story of an expedition into this heretofore unnoticed valley in an unsettled land. As several imaginary scenes are portrayed, a sense of dread and foreboding permeates as the natives of the valley detect the presence of trespassers upon their land. When the end of the sojourn looms, the speed and urgency of the adventurers increases, and escape through the narrow crevice at the end of the valley is now within their reach. However, the inhabitants of the Valley of Darkness think otherwise . . .

£104.50March from the Ballet Corso Donate - Joseph Lanner
A contemporary (and, some would say, rival) of Johann Strauss I in 19th-century Vienna, Joseph Lanner was, for a time, more popular and widely performed than his associate. After a much-publicized separation of the two musical giants, Lanner was appointed to the coveted post of Musik-Direktor of the Redoutensale in the Habsburg Imperial Palace. Lanners ballet was written in September of 1841; this superb Bourgeois edition brings the work to the wind ensemble repertoire. It is an outstanding example of the Austrian march genre.

£104.50Fantasia on a Theme from The Southern Harmony - Barry E. Kopetz
Warm, emotional, and harmonically rich, the lovely tune Ballerma comes from the shaped note book of hymns entitled The Southern Harmony and is similar to the well-known hymn Amazing Grace. Its the perfect subject for the collection of colorful and creative fantasies that make up this work. After an initial presentation, the melody is used in a series of contrasting treatments, the first being flippant and humorous. The next is simple and childlike, featuring a delicate percussion ensemble, clarinet ensemble or combination of both. The final fantasy incessantly drives the music forward, releasing pent-up energy along the way to the thrilling conclusion.
