£24.95COUNTDOWN (To Eternity?) (Prestige Concert Band Extra Score) - Short, Michael
Extra Score Phase 1 (Mystery) - the fascination of nuclear power; the strangeness of its invisible radiation and enormous unleashed energy which may be beneficial to the human race, but which can also cause violence of colossal magnitude. Phase 2 (Imaginations) - Anxiety begins and nervous doubts increase as thoughts intrude of what might happen if things went wrong: warfare, mechanical failure, uncontrolled fission, explosion, melt-down, firestorms, fallout, burns, contamination, disease, mutation, the desolation of a nuclear winter. Phase 3 (Reality) - Time is ticking on. We accept the benefits of nuclear power, tinged with unease and incomprehension. The piece ends with doubt and uncertainty - only time will tell if we are right or wrong. Performance time 16'56" (Recorded on QPRM115D GREAT BRITISH MUSIC FOR WIND BAND, Western Band of the Royal Air Force)

£94.95GAELFORCE (Concert Band) - Graham, Peter
Gaelforce follows in Cry of the Celts style, and using three traditional folk tunes exploits the colour and variety of the modern wind band. Firstly, the slip jig, The Rocky Road to Dublin features the woodwind section. The Minstrel Boy, and the final reel, Tossing the Feathers, have both recently enjoyed renewed popularity courtesy of The Corrs. The Minstrel Boy here features the solo flugel horn in contrast with woodwind choir and mellow voices, while Tossing the Feathers is something of a tour de force for drums, woodwind, and eventually the whole band.

MUSIC FOR AROSA (Prestige Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Sparke, Philip
This work was commissioned in 1996 by the Arosa Cultural committee and first performed in Arosa in that year. The majestic introduction opens with trombones and euphonium, heralding a legato theme, chorale-like in character. A pair of flutes introduce a new theme. A trumpet introduces a series of highly syncopated solos, which feature many metre changes, and the tempo increases when playful motifs are exchanged between various sections of the band. A solo clarinet introduces an expressive tune. A brass chorale follows, with interruptions from the flute and bassoon, until the clarinet tune is played by the whole band. This reaches a climax and the mood subsides to reach a quiet horn chord. The broad legato tune returns and the excitement increases until the march theme triumphantly returns to full band. This leads to the coda which is based on the opening fanfare and closes the work emphatically. (Grade 5) Performance time 11'01" (Recorded on QPRM138D BREAKING THE CENTURY, Central Band of the Royal Air Force)

£40.00Scramble! (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Hess, Nigel
Commissioned in 1994 by the Royal Air Force, 'Scramble!' Is a concert overture for symphonic wind band inspired by images of the RAF's airfields during the Battle of Britain, immortalised for ever in such films as Reach for the Skies.The pastoral opening depicts the lull before the storm: the young pilots sitting in wicker chairs outside their barracks on a sunlit morning. The peace is, of course, deceptive, suddenly amid siren sounds, there is a shout of 'Scramble!', and a rush to the waiting planes. In no time at all the squadron is airborne, heading for a skirmish over the English Channel and beyond. A lyrical central section featuring a solo cornet depicts the stillness many pilots described as they flew to engage the enemy, before the battle breaks out once more. For those who returned, it would be only a short while before, once again, they would hear the familiar shout of 'Scramble!'Duration: 7.00
