Masque - Kenneth Hesketh
A Masque (short for Masquerade) has been defined by Historians as 'A revel in which Mummers or masked folk come with torches blazing into the festive hall and call upon the company to dance and dice' . The chaos of this dramatic dance is depicted in this 'Masque' by Hesketh. The main theme is bravura and is often present, in the background. The form of the piece is a simple scherzo-trio-scherzo. Colourful scoring (upper wind solos, trumpet and horn solos alternating with full bodied tuttis) with a dash of wildness may tease both player and listener to let their hair down a little!Masque has been transcribed for wind band by Kenneth Hesketh from his 'Scherzo for Orchestra', commissioned by the National Children's Orchestra in 1987.

The Winds Of Power - Nigel Hess
Unlike Nigel Hess's other works for wind band, The Winds of Power is not a programmatic work. After a dark and menacing opening a solo trumpet introduces a theme which will eventually become the centre of a piece and is soon heard tutti in a lyrical form. This is interrupted by a return to the opening mood, with only a brief respite in the form of a chorale for clarinet choir and harp. The theme tries to return once more in a rousing, somewhat cinematic version, but again the sense of foreboding overtakes it. An unsettling march-like section follows before the theme returns in its most lyrical and gentle guise, introduced by solos in the woodwind section. Eventually, a maestoso statement which erupts into a presto coda, ends the journey in a triumphant, more optimistic blaze of sound.

£37.15Over London Bridge (Wind Band) English Trad. arr. Andrew E. Lawson
Inspired by early works for wind band by British composers Gustav Holst and Ralph Vaughan Williams, this charming concert work is based on an English folk song called As I walked over London Bridge. The arranger Andrew E Lawson writes: 'While I found this folk melody in a set of cello etudes written by Vaughan Williams, it was text that solidified my decision to use this melody, and it is the text that brings some insight into the nature of this folk melody, as well as the nature of the additional original melodies and harmonies throughout the piece.'To view a rolling score video of the work please visit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oFWGJWbvqjMSheet music available from :UK: www.wind-band-music.co.ukUSA: https://satradecentral.orgDifficulty Level: Medium AdvancedInstrumentation:Flute 1-2OboeBassoonClarinet in Bb 1-3Bass Clarinet in BbAlto Saxophone 1-2Tenor SaxophoneBaritone SaxophoneTrumpet in Bb 1-3Horn in F 1-4Trombone 1-2Bass TromboneEuphoniumTubaTimpaniPercussion 1-3

£37.15Courte Ouverture (Wind Band) Tom Juzwiak
'Courte Ouverture' as translated from the French means 'Short Overture'. Written for a medium level ensemble, it commences with a high trill in the piccolo followed by a flourish in the flutes before the main theme is introduced. This primary melody can be heard throughout the selection. It then transitions into an almost hymn-like middle section before an accelerando takes us back to the flute flourish and main theme. This piece uses the music ensemble to its fullest. Memorable melodies and traditional harmonies are spread throughout the instrumentation.To view a rolling score video of the work please visit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qh3e4-XDDxMSheet music available from www.wind-band-music.co.ukDifficulty Level: MediumInstrumentation:PiccoloFluteOboeBassoonClarinet in Bb 1-3Bass Clarinet in BbAlto Saxophone 1-2Tenor SaxophoneTrumpet in Bb 1-3Horn in F 1-2Trombone 1-3EuphoniumBaritone HornTubaTimpaniSnare DrumBass DrumCymbalsChimesGlockenspielXylophone

£74.31Temperamental (Concert Band) Fendall Hill
This work by Fendall Hill was the set test for the 2021 National Brass Band Championships of New Zealand, B Grade. Here it has been adapted for Concert Band.The composer writes: 'J.S. Bach (1685-1750) is deemed by many to be the 'Ulimate Composer'. He added an incredible proportion to the DNA of western music, and his influence is heard in the music of today. Like many artists, he was not overly recognised as a composer during his lifetime, and it took an 1829 performance of the St Matthew Passion by Mendelssohn to ignite a recognition of his place in the music world, a place he has maintained ever since.This piece starts with a similar spark of rediscovery of the music of Bach. It contains arrangements of various works, interspersed with composition based on Bach's chord structures, sections in the style of Bach, and original sections inspired by the moods created along the way.The first section explores the Toccata, and great organ works. This leads into an exploration of his choral works, and a finale based on the Preludes. The word 'Tempered' has different meanings, and all seem to apply to the music of Bach, and these appeal to the musical, engineering and spiritual aspects of my personal life.His music reaches to the humanity and divinity, it has strength, structure and order that creates frameworks in which incredible complexity reigns; and the complexity leads to a wildness, a kind of craziness that represents a range of human moods, and can change without warning. The same piece of music affects people in very different ways.I don't know if it's Bach's music, or us, but it can seem out of control and under control at the same time - the combination is highly temperamental.To view a follow-the-score video of the work please visit: https://youtu.be/6CtYZmCoWIcSheet music available from:UK: www.wind-band-music.co.ukUSA: www.solidbrassmusic.comDifficulty Level: AdvancedInstrumentation:Instrumentation:PiccoloFlute 1-2OboeBassoonClarinet in Bb 1-3Bass Clarinet in BbAlto Saxophone 1-2Tenor SaxophoneBaritone SaxophoneTrumpet in Bb 1-3Horn in F 1-4Trombone 1-2Bass TromboneEuphoniumTubaDouble BassTimpaniPercussion 1-3

£37.15Celebration! (In Dulci Jubilo) (Wind Band) Kevin Norbury
VIEW SCORE PDFThis rousing and pulsating work by Kevin Norbury forms part of the suite A Renaissance Christmas, also published by BrookWright Music. It is based on three popular carols - In Dulci Jubilo, Good Christian men, rejoice! and Ding-dong merrily on high.This magnificent 13th-century melody was also a part of Michael Praetorius's collection. It is traditionally associated with the words 'Good Christian men, rejoice!' The opening is a straight transcription of the great chorale prelude for organ by J.S.Bach. After the grandeur of the opening, the tune is heard in more of a 'folky' style. A lot of related melodic material is then presented before the tune Ding-dong merrily on high is heard. After another episode of previously used music In Dulci Jubilo reappears in a joyful conclusion to the piece.Sheet music available from:UK: www.wind-band-music.co.ukUSA: www.solidbrassmusic.comDifficulty Level: Medium-EasyInstrumentation:PiccoloFluteOboeBassoonClarinet in Bb 1-2Bass Clarinet in BbAlto Saxophone in Eb 1-2Tenor Saxophone in BbBaritone Saxophone in EbTrumpet in Bb 1-2Horn in F 1-2Trombone 1-2EuphoniumTubaDouble BassTimpaniGlockenspielTubular BellsTambourineSnare DrumTenor Drum
