£66.95Vistas
Featuring two melodic motives that are developed texturally and rhythmically throughout the piece, Vistas begins in a light, reflective manner before gradually building into a majestic contrapuntal statement by the brass. A driving percussion introduction begins the Vigoroso section and provides the rhythmic foundation for the second "Vista." This minor setting of the initial motives provides an exciting variation that features a variety of meter changes and syncopated passages. A restatement of the initial motives with the driving rhythmic accompaniment begins an extended conclusion that brings the piece to a dynamic finish.

£53.95Canon - Johann Pachelbel / arr. David Marlatt
Canon by Johann Pachelbel is one of the most famous and recognizable pieces of classical music. The treatment of the melody in this arrangement follows a popular Baroque tradition, the concerto grosso. This technique utilizes a small group of soloists that were supported by the remainder of the ensemble. In this arrangement, the solo instruments are 2 flutes and 2 clarinets which have the majority of the technically scalar passages as well as the lyrical melody line. The "chamber sound" created by this arrangement is a welcome variation from the tutti sound that is commonly found in concert band writing.

This incredible overture was written for the All County Honor Band in Mercer County, Pennsylvania and is based on the familiar folk song, "Erie Canal."

£37.95Modal Miniatures - Paul W. Whear
MODAL MINIATURES is a suite of three short movements of different moods written in the Phrygian mode instead of the traditional major or minor scale. Each movement is based on the chorale-like melody of the first movement. The second movement is a variation of this melody, and the third movement uses the theme in inversion as an ostinato. Dr. Whear wrote MODAL MINIATURES especially for the younger bands so they may experience playing a contemporary work with an authentic scoring in the modal style.
