£104.50Bonnie Annie Laurie March - John Philip Sousa
According to Sousa scholar Paul Bierley, Sousa often remarked that the old Scottish ballad Annie Laurie was the most beautiful of all folk songs. In 1883 he wrote the march Bonnie Annie Laurie based on this favorite folk song. In 1880 Sousa became the fourteenth leader of the United States Marine Band, and this was undoubtedly one of the marches that he composed during this period. Highlighted and enhanced in this march-style setting, this wonderful melody never sounded better.

£82.50Sugar Plum Samba - Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky
American pop culture is full of examples of the merging and melding of different artistic styles that end up with surprising and entertaining results. This work for young band is no exception as the timeless music of Tchaikovsky often heard at the holidays trades in ballet shoes for guiros and timbales. Many of the original rhythms of the ballet music have been altered to convey an authentic-sounding samba dance style. Holding true to the form of the original work, this setting of Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy presents a decidedly different twist on a holiday classic, allowing students to learn to play a wonderful Latin dance style.

£82.50Belmont County Saga - Barry E. Kopetz
The decidedly religious overtones of this work bear a strong resemblance to the sacred melodic content in the wonderful hymnbook The Southern Harmony. Occasional offbeat diversions from the main theme allow a natural energy to alter its character. Quasi-religious chordal passages and lighthearted comic sections lead to the joy and excitement of the extended finishing coda.

£104.50The Road to Castlemaine - Barry E. Kopetz
A collection of Australian folk songs that depict the sights and sounds of the beautiful landscape with an Aussie twist and tongue-in-cheek tuneful way. The first movement includes The Wonderful Crocodile and The Old Jig-Jog, folk songs full of energy and dance-like qualities. River Fraser provides the melodic content for the second movement, a slow and impassioned lament. The third movement uses three popular tunes that range in style from joyful dancing as in an Irish reel, to a poignant and haunting flavor, to a brave and dramatic march that dies away bit by bit prior to an explosive ending of energy and good humor.

£121.00Turkish Fragments - Mikhail Ippolitov-Ivanov
Pursuing his interest in the Turkish peoples, the composer created this work for orchestra in 1930. It is a richly melodic suite notable for its characteristically oriental turns of phrase. This work is presented in four movements: Caravan, which depicts a steady journey over rolling sand dunes; At Rest, alternately tranquil and spirited; Night, serene in nature with a slight touch of mystery; and Festival, a dance-like finale with unyielding exuberance. All the movements use material from folk music of the region combined with a wonderful pallet of wind-instrumental colors. An exotic and colorful Turkish fabric in music.
