£44.95Lightning Strike (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Wiffin, Rob
This march was commissioned by the Royal Air Force Halton Area Voluntary Band to mark their move to Air Command at RAF High Wycombe. The compositional approach to it is reasonably conventional with echoes of the rhythmic cells of the RAF March Past but balanced with some sections imbued with rhythmic energy. There is also a typically broad trio melody which seems to be the quintessential trademark of an RAF march.Duration: 3.30

£59.95Hope Springs Eternal (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Wiffin, Rob
A concert overture with interest and colour for the whole band, Hope Springs Eternal was written during the seemingly interminable lockdowns of 2020. The intention was to compose some positive music as an encouragement during difficult times. It starts with a strident statement before turning fairly shortly to a more reflective response from the woodwind. The opening returns and this time the response is broader before it builds to a peak and unleashes the faster music that follows. Several melodic fragments are introduced before a minor key theme is established. The music becomes lighter as it progresses until it reaches the cheerful and melodic trio section. The minor section makes a brief return before being forever banished by the final statement of the affirmative opening music.Duration: 6.45

£99.99Salutation (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Sparke, Philip
Salutation was commissioned by Japanese conductor and broadcaster, Yutaka Nishida, a dear friend of the composer Philip Sparke. Salutation follows fairly conventional march form. A short fanfare introduces the main theme, played by clarinets and saxophones. A bridge passage, mainly in the brass, heralds a change of key and a legato second subject, again played initially by the clarinets, which leads to the conventional trio theme, which is then repeated by the full band. Sections of the second subject lead back to the home key and a return of the main theme, embellished with woodwinds.Duration: 4.45

£55.00American Legion (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Parker, Charles - Glover, Andrew
Here's a classic American march which is perfect for any concert! Limited ranges and technical demands make this a great march for middle school and smaller, less experienced high school bands. The first half features solid interplay between melody and countermelody instruments. The first trio features a solid melody ornamented by upper woodwinds, and a powerful finish giving the whole band a chance to shine. An excellent teaching tool for both march style and alla-breve, "American Legion" will have toes tapping from start to finish! Duration: 2.15

£110.00Macbeth (Fanfare and March) (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Walton, William - Noble, Paul
The following program notes are taken from those by Christopher Palmer, the arranger for orchestra from William Walton's incidental music for John Gielgud's production of Macbeth in 1941-42. The music was recorded and taken on tour with the production. Up to now it has remained in manuscript and unknown. Although this piece is called Fanfare and March, the principal march is in fact the banquet music (with its clever suggestion of bagpipes on the woodwind, hence my ad lib parts for extra flutes and oboes). Walton made several different versions of this for dramatic purposes, and here some of them have been pieced together. The central section of Trio is the March (Show) of the Eight Kings (Act 4, Scene 1) which reveals to Macbeth that Banquo's issue, not his, will rule in Scotland.

£110.00Psalm 150 (Concert Band with Optional Choir - Score and Parts) - Rutter, John - Noble, Paul
Psalm 150 was composed for the Golden Jubilee Service for HM The Queen, 4 June 2002. With the premiere performance in St. Paul's Cathedral, London, the composer wanted to capture the acoustical qualities of the cathedral by placing three soprano soloists high in the dome, from which they sang as a trio at key points in the music. This arrangement, when performed by Concert Band alone, has those parts written for three solo trumpets to be placed in the rear or balcony of the concert hall. The work is filled with pageantry and ceremony, ending with the sound of cathedral bells ringing dramatically over the powerful scoring for band.

£42.50Gold Medal March (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Murtha, Paul
Here Paul Murtha masterfully adapts the traditional military march form for young musicians. The first strain is carried by trumpets and upper woodwinds, while the low brass take the lead on the second strain. After a brief percussion break, the legato trio melody features the woodwind section. A "call and response" breakstrain is followed by the full band on the rousing finish. Keep the march alive with this marvellous piece!Duration: 2:50

£84.99Hermes (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Hirose, Hayato
In Greek mythology Hermes was the messenger of the gods, and the god of merchants. The piece starts with a powerful four-measure introduction, followed by the solemn 1st theme and the heroic 2nd theme. After the gentle trio section, the music increases in tension with several key changes, and a dynamic grand finale concludes the piece. This is a spirited concert march with positive musical energy throughout the piece.Duration: 3:15

£225.00Amsterdam Suite (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Curtis, Matthew - Noble, Paul
The Amsterdam Suite, written in 1995 and first performed by the Slaithwaite Philharmonic Orchestra the following year, seeks to convey some impressions of a city I have visited several times. It opens with the waltz sequence, Barrel Organs, recalling the hurdy-gurdies positioned at strategic points in the city with the aim of parting tourists with their loose change. The tunes, however, are mine rather than an attempt to reproduce the real thing. Amsterdam takes its Saturday nights seriously, with the result that those who get up (or are still up) early on Sunday morning will find themselves in eerily deserted streets, whose atmosphere to me suggests one instrument above all, the saxophone, which plays a prominent part in Lonely City. The Saturday nights themselves are depicted in Trams and Crowds. I have taken liberties with the chronology for the obvious musical reason of wanting to go out with a bang rather than a whimper. The basic structure is very much that used by Eric Coates for similar piece, a bustling outer section with a quick march trio, presented in a fuller and more embellished orchestration on each of its three appearances. - Matthew Curtis.
