£76.99Music (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Miles, John - Kernen, Roland
In his most famous number, Music, an ode to music, John Miles managed to pack in lots of different musical aspects and elements: rhythmically from slow to fast; dynamically from quiet to loud; and in the instrumentation between strings and rock band, he shows just what goes to make a piece of music and why it is that he loves this art form so much. This arrangement for a 10-part variable ensemble allows even musicians who don't have huge amounts of experience to discover and show their own passion for music.Duration: 5:30

£75.00This is the Day (Concert Band with Optional Choir - Score and Parts) - Rutter, John - Noble, Paul
Commissioned by the Dean and Chapter of Westminster Abbey as a wedding gift for Prince William and Kate Middleton, this anthem was composed early in 2011, with a brief that it should be about 4 - 5 minutes in length, for choir and organ, with a text from the psalms. The composer writes: 'My first thought was that the text should embrace both rejoicing and blessing, and I chose verses from five psalms which seemed to encompass what I wanted to express on behalf of us all. My next thought was that I wanted to write music which would be welcoming in spirit to the royal couple, their families, and to all the people witnessing this happy occasion all over the world.' This arrangement for Concert Band and Chorus may be performed by band alone.

£48.95Trumpets of Symphony Hall (Trumpet Section Feature with Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Stalter, Todd
Here is a medley that provides a great opportunity to let your trumpet section be exactly what they want to be, the stars of the show! Performing this delightful arrangement of familiar symphonic themes by Beethoven, Mozart, Dvorak, Haydn, Bach, Offenbach, and Brahms works very well with the trumpets standing in front of the band, but is also effective with them seated within the ensemble. A unique way to vary your concert program and to introduce students to some of the finest orchestral literature, this arrangement will undoubtedly be a highlight for both performer and audience alike!Duration: 2:15

£52.95Lost in the Crystal Cave (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Turner, Jeffrey E.
Imagine finding yourself stumbling alone in a darkened cave. It's so quiet, the only thing you can hear is your own heartbeat. Lost, you pray for guidance, and suddenly, sound paints a picture of what your eyes can't see. Met with a shimmering mirror of sparkling percussion, you follow a pinpoint of light shining off a solo trumpet. The darkness filling with heaven's light, you are no longer "Lost in the Crystal Cave." You've found a way out by following footprints left for you in the music.Duration: 3:50

£45.95Daydreaming (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Fagan, Gary
Daydreaming is a short, light-hearted tone poem with a very simple lyrical quality reflecting a behaviour most of us exhibit from time to time. The melodic theme occurred to the composer as he was sitting in his studio looking out the window and doing what the title suggests he was doing.Duration: 2:15

£110.00Distant Land (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Rutter, John - Noble, Paul
Distant Land was originally written in 1991 as a choral piece inspired by the release of Nelson Mandela from prison. Rutter was encouraged to make a purely orchestral version, from which this band arrangement has been adapted. Rutter says: "Listeners who know the original versions may miss the texts, but looking at it another way, your imagination can be set free with no words to constrain you and tell you what the music is 'about'". Distant Land will surely become a tribute to the life of Nelson Mandela, who was a leader of the anti-apartheid movement who eventually became South Africa's first black president to be elected in a fully democratic election.

£225.00Five Orchestral Meditations (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Rutter, John - Noble, Paul
The Five Orchestral Meditations are all based on John Rutter's choral pieces, which he re-scored for orchestra, and on which these arrangements are based. They are offered as a suite, but the audio tracks have been separated to make it easier to hear each title. These lovely pieces will present a perfect exercise for band blending, balance, interpretation, intonation, and finesse, while offering your audience some of the typically gorgeous music for which John Rutter is so noted. They may be performed as a suite, or as independent pieces: 1. What Sweeter Music; 2. Blow, blow, thou winter wind; 3. Candlelight; 4. Lord, make me an instrument of thy peace; 5. The Lord bless you and keep you. John Rutter's compositions are in a class by themselves, and this adaptation is sure to find its way into the repertoire of outstanding bands around the world.

£91.99The Sun Will Rise Again (Concert Band - Score & Parts) - Sparke, Philip
The composer writes:On March 11th 2011 a massive 9.0- magnitude earthquake occurred off the coast of north-eastern Japan. I'm writing these programme notes barely a week later and the death toll caused by the quake and resulting tsunami already exceeds 6000, with thousands of people still unaccounted for. I have many friends associated with many bands throughout Japan and one of these, Yutaka Nishida, suggested I write a piece to raise money to help those affected by the disaster. I was immediately attracted by the idea and have arranged Cantilena (a brass band piece recently commissioned by the Grenland International Brass Festival, Norway) for wind band, giving it a new title to honour my friends in the Land of the Rising Sun. I will be donating royalties from this piece to the Japanese Red Cross Society Emergency Relief Fund and am delighted to say that my distributors, De Haske, who will generously also donate all net profits from sales of this piece, have pledged a substantial advance payment to the Red Cross so that what little help this project generates can be immediate. It is my sincere wish that this 'Band Aid' project will allow wind bands around the world support the people of Japan, where bands are a way of life for many, in this difficult time.- Philip SparkeDuration: 4:30
