Stand Tall America
Andrew Balent lends his arranging skills in this new patriotic salute for young band. A bright opening fanfare quickly moves into a lyrical treatment of America, the Beautiful. After a brief restatement of the opening material, the arrangement moves into Battle Hymn of the Republic. Fanfares in the brass punctuate the melody as the piece moves to a stirring conclusion.

Blaze of Glory - Robert Sheldon
This outstanding overture begins with a declamatory statement in the woodwinds. The heroic melody subsides to a softer section which still retains the energy of the piece. A beautiful lyrical section places emphasis on musicality with plenty of opportunities for rubato. The return of the opening theme brings the work to a triumphant conclusion. Very characteristic of Robert Sheldon's exceptional writing for young bands.

£154.99Concertino for Xylophone - Jan Bosveld
This composition was commissioned by "Koningin Wilhelmina Wamel" on the occasion of its one hundred year anniversary. That it is a composition for xylophone and concertband lies in the fact that Harmony has a very talented, young percussion player in the person of Barry Jurjes. The piece is both melodically and harmonically based on four notes (C - Dflat - F - G). The structure is divided into four parts: slow - fast - slow - fast.

£49.99On a Renaissance Carol - James Curnow
It's sometimes hard to find just the right piece for that middle ground between the grade 2 young band and the fully functioning grade 3 group. The importance of this growth period in the band's musicality is often overlooked byband composers. James Curnow's On a Renaissance Carol is a great intermediate step with its slightly more exposed orchestration and integral independence of parts. Subtle phrasing, dynamics and stylistic considerations helpyou take your group to new heights.

£73.60Falcon's First Flight - Eduardo M. Brito
Alone in the nest, a young fledgling bathes in the morning Spring sun. As he approaches the edge of the nest, a gentle breeze warms his feathers. He spreads his wings wide open and the wind starts to pick up, almost like an invitation. He stops and looks into the distant blue sky. Up there his siblings seem to be having so much fun and after months of imagining what it would be like to fly, he finally jumps! He's a fledgling no more. Now he's a falcon.

£67.95Knights Of Chivalry - Randy Navarre
One can easily imagine in the days of Castes and Kings, how this composition may spark the feeling of what it may have been like for Knights of the Kingdoms to not only protect the Lords of the Castle, but also be chivalrous to the Ladies of the Court. Dancing at the feasts and festivals, escorting the royalty to various events. Knights had much more to do than fight. They were allowed to have fun. Sometimes. Like all of our Grade compositions, its main purpose besides giving good and interesting music for young musicians to play, is that it is an opportunity for the band director to teach some aspect of music. This is a great composition for introducing eighth notes and following dynamics. No clarinet crosses the break, and the 1st trumpet's highest note is A (in the staff). Everyone plays rhythmically together. Only the drum part may vary. All chords of the diatonic scale are used to make the harmony more interesting with no accidentals.

£78.95Early One Morning
Although the roots of this British folksong date back to the 18th century, the first publication of the melody was in the late 1850's in the collection "National English Airs". Early One Morning is the story of a young woman misused by her lover, as overheard by the singer. In the mid-1930's the tune was adapted as a military slow march called "The Globe and Laurel" for the Royal Marines band. This arrangement focuses on the lyricism of the original with just a hint of its later military associations. Only the 1st clarinets cross the break. 1st trumpet's highest note is F.
