£106.95Washington Post - John Philip Sousa
Next to Stars and Stripes Forever, this march, universally known as "The March King," is probably the best-known march by John Philip Sousa (1854-1932). From its energetic opening through the memorable 1st strain, the tuneful second and memorable trio, this is a beloved example of march writing at its best. A perfect introduction to the 6/8 march style, this very playable version will be a great warm-up march for contest and festival. Duration: 3'

Festive Dances - Robert Thurston
Robert Thurston's enormously attractive writing for band and his sure command of contemporary harmonic and rhythmic devices give this three movement composition by terrific band and audience appeal. Thurston's fondness for mixed meters will keep players on their toes. The 2nd movement (moderato) in particular has a memorable folk-like lilt and charm. The whole piece is bound together by the use of the motto C-E-C, the initials of the composer's teacher, the late great band writer Charles E. Carter, in whose memory Festive Dances was written.

Gryphon - Tyler Arcari
New composer Tyler Arcari depicts the mythical Gryphon in this delightful piece. You will hear the contrasting lighter-than-air sounds of a soaring eagle followed by the more dark and aggressive sounds of the lion. This is a fresh new piece from a fresh new composer who we are very excited to be adding to the Carl Fischer Music catalog. Tyler's different approach to composition is refreshing, and his scoring, melodic vision and harmonic choices are so wonderful. We expect great things from this young man in the years to come. Alert your festival music list committee about this piece and the name Tyler Arcari!

£84.50American Visions - Mark Lortz
Composed to embody the sense of American vigor and patriotism, this fast-paced and energetic fanfare, concert opener or contest selection features rousing brass fanfares, lively woodwind motives, and driving percussion. Using a simple motive that alternates between duple and triplet rhythms, this is a great selection to use for teaching the difference between the two. A contrasting middle section can be used for developing characteristic warm concert band sounds while a return to the initial material with an additional countermelody can be used for balance and blend development.

Insignia - Sean O'Loughlin
Bold scoring and melodic warmth characterize this fine original concert overture. Presented in extended form by the flute, the principal idea is memorable and achieves great stature in the broad coda. The harmonic language is up-to-date, but it is the tunefulness of O'Loughlin's style that will attract young players. Insignia is a natural selection for contest performances. Duration: 6'

£106.95Be Thou My Vision - Larry Clark
The popular Irish Hymn tune, Slane (best known by the familiar first line of its standard text, Be Thou My Vision) is a great favorite of composer Larry Clark's. It is the basis for this grand set of variations. From the bardic fanfare of the opening, through a piccolo solo that suggests Gaelic piping and several variations on the lovely tune, this is a beautifully scored piece, rich in the flavor of the Emerald Isle.

Adversary - Larry Clark
Now, this is what composer Larry Clark does best! He gives developing bands daring compositions that they just absolutely love to play.

It is full-sounding, but never taxing to the abilities of the developing band. A surefire winner!
