£75.00Icicles (from When Icicles Hang) (Concert Band with Optional Choir - Score and Parts) - Rutter, John - Noble, Paul
John Rutter received an early commission for a piece of music that was seasonal for winter, though not necessarily linked to the Christian traditions of Christmas, in the early '70s. The request came from his friend Russell Burgess, a well-known conductor in the English musical scene and head of the Wandsworth School Boys' Choir through the '60s and '70s. Rutter responded with a six-movement work for orchestra, boys' choir, and mixed chorus, called When Icicles Hang. He chose his texts, characteristically, from Elizabethan and other early English poetry, each text dealing with images from the wintery season, be they the cold, ice-bound landscape and its winds; an older man's weariness in the face of the season; or the contrapuntal pleasures of ale and honey love for those safely inside on winter nights. The movements are: I. Icicles; II. Winter Nights; III Good Ale; IV Blow, blow, thou winter winds; V. Winter wakeneth all my care; VI . Hay, ay. With sparkling orchestration which has been faithfully set for Concert/Wind Band, the work may be performed with chorus as originally written, or may be performed effectively by band alone. The work is available as a complete set of six movements, or each movement may be purchased and performed individually.

£112.95A Star Danced (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Renshaw, Nicola
A Star Danced (Y Seren Ddawns)Much Ado About Nothing is widely considered one of Shakespeare's finest comedies, combining elements of stout gaiety with more serious meditations on honour, shame, and court politics. A Star Danced mirrors the chronicles of two pairs of lovers: Benedick and Beatrice, and Claudio and Hero. Benedick and Beatrice are engaged in a very "merry war" of wits; they are both very glib and proclaim their disdain of love. In contrast, Claudio and Hero are sweet young people who are rendered practically speechless by their love for one another. Although the young lovers Hero and Claudio provide the main impetus for the plot, the key themes in the piece are inspired by the courtship between the older, wiser lovers Benedick and Beatrice; developing from antagonism to sincere love and compassion as Beatrice finally confesses her capacity for happiness to Don Pedro; a celebration of new beginning: There was a star danced and under that I was born.Includes:The Merry Wits of WarHero's ThemeThere was a Star Danced...Beatrice & Benedick.Duration: 5:30Recorded on Polyphonic QPRM162D Mysteries of the Horizon
