Uptown Girl Wind Band Set (Score & Parts)
Apparently Billy Joel's muses when he wrote Uptown Girl were the model, Elle MacPherson, and then his later wife, model Christie Brinkley. With this catchy pop song about a simple guy who loves a rich girl from downtown, Joel wanted to encourage the ugly guy to win the heart of the most beautiful woman. In Billy Joel's case, his great talent in writing hit songs was obviously also a factor! And now Stefan Schwalgin has arranged this chart-topper into a lively and compelling performance piece. 03:20

£51.95Hallelujah Chorus (Concert Band with Optional Chorus - Score and Parts) - Handel, George Frideric - Kinyon, John
The Hallelujah Chorus is the best known and most dramatic section from The Messiah, an oratorio first performed in Dublin in 1742 with the composer conducting. In addition to the chorus, the original orchestration called for two oboes, two bassoons, two horns, timpani, strings and keyboard instruments. King George III, in attendance at the premier performance, is said to have suddenly leaped to his feet on hearing the opening chords. Historians disagree, however, as to whether his majesty was merely showing his appreciation of the music or whether, as one story goes, he had been startled out of a sound sleep. Whichever, the entire audience followed the regal example, thereby instituting a tradition which has persisted for more than two centuries. Even today it is customary for an audience to rise during the performance of this exciting work. Duration: 4.00

£62.95A Christmas Tale - Randall D. Standridge
In some European Christmas traditions, Saint Nick (Santa Claus) does not work alone. He travels with the "Krampus," a "Christmas Devil" who doles out punishment to bad boys and girls on Christmas Eve. This work serves as a darkly delightful Christmas piece, intended to educate, entertain, and creep out your audience. The poem "Beware the Krampus" (written by the composer) helps frame the piece as familiar carols "The Ukranian Bell Carol," "Up on the Housetop," "Jolly Old St. Nicholas," and other holiday favorites are distorted.

The clever poem can easily be read by several students. Consider using members of the faculty or administration to "beef up" your slide whistle section!

£52.95Marche Militaire - Franz Schubert / adapted and arr. L. C. Harnsberger
One of the most familiar and popular marches ever written is Franz Schubert's . Schubert (1797--1828) was one of the most prolific composers of all time, having written symphonies, chamber music, piano works, and over 600 songs, yet he only lived to the age of 32. The march was originally written for piano four-hands, however, this arrangement for young band sounds as if it was first written for military band. Woodwinds, brass, and percussion all shine with fun and interesting parts that work well together. This arrangement is perfect for an opener or closer to any concert.
