£94.00Setting Sail
With its title is taken from the text of Walt Whitman's poem "Leaves of Grass," Setting Sail is an epic new piece that is expansive and sophisticated. Its luxuriant, reticent opening moves into beautiful lyrical lines and all-encompassing harmonies before leading into the journey at sea, punctuated with a cool 6/8 groove. To finish, we have a climactic return of the original lyrical material. This is a large-scale work of dramatic proportions.

£79.00Invocation and Dance
Starting from a lovely and haunting melody introduced by the clarinets, Carl Strommen's Invocation and Dance, in two contrasting sections, is an object lesson in how to write memorably for young musicians using simple, straightforward and appealing material. The fast second section begins with some wonderful quiet percussion writing and the phrase and meter shifting versions of the original tune cleverly vary it before leading to the fully-scored return of the melody in its original form. This selection is contest and festival material of the highest quality. Duration: 4'40"

£68.00American Visions
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.

£118.99North Hills Fantasy (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Sparke, Philip
North Hills Fantasy was commissioned by the North Hills High School Bands, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (director: Len Lavelle) as part of a commissioning programme that has run since 1965 - the longest of its kind in the USA. The work opens with a reflective, unaccompanied solo for alto saxophone which develops into a chorale for horns and saxes. This is taken up by the trumpets and subsides to a change of key and mood, with highly decorated folk-like solos for clarinet, bassoon and saxes. These solos build to a climax for full band, which heralds a triumphant return of the horn chorale, accompanied by florid woodwind figuration. But the mood soon winds down; fragments of earlier melodies return calmly to peacefully close the work. Duration: 5.30

£87.95Phoenix Fanfare & Journey Into Light (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Holmes, Chris
A Phoenix Fanfare opens with bold, rhythmic motifs built around the interval of a perfect fourth, a musical gesture symbolising strength and renewal. These rhythmic ideas are energetically passed around the wind band, creating a sense of movement and vitality. As the piece progresses, textures build and interplay intensifies, culminating in a striking moment where glissando horns soar above the ensemble--this feature should be given due prominence, as it evokes the mythical rise of the phoenix and adds a dramatic flourish to the conclusion.In contrast, Journey into Light captures the feeling of a 'return to normality' following the lifting of COVID restrictions. The music begins with a short passage in a reflective minor key, representing the uncertainty and isolation of lockdown. Gradually, optimism emerges as the harmony brightens and the tempo increases. The arrival of the presto section marks a turning point--joyful, exuberant, and full of life. From here, the music remains uplifting, celebrating the renewed freedom to rehearse, perform, and connect through music.This piece would make an ideal concert opener or start to a second half of a concert.Duration: 3.30
