Cityscapes (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - De Haan, Jan

For Cityscapes, the composer used the metropolis of New York, the largest city of the United States, as a source of inspiration. The first movement mirrors the skyline of the 'Big Apple'. In movement two, Central Park is introduced and in the closing movement of this triptych, the ever-sparkling Manhattan, known for its many skyscrapers, and its financial centre Wall Street, is the focal point. Not only are the busy city traffic and the chaotic hustle and bustle expressed in the music, but also the impressive buildings, including the famous Empire State Building. Let the magic of New York shine with this dramatic new item for concert band.Duration: 8:45

Ciudad de Festivales (City of Festivals) (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Henry, Larry

Written in A-B-A form, Ciudad de Festivales begins with a rousing introduction using thematic and rhythmic motives. After an initial statement of the melody by a solo trumpet, the piece develops adding instruments and contrapuntal lines. The B section is introduced by a trumpet duet leading to a baritone solo. A short interlude leads to the return of the A section with the addition of obbligato woodwind parts. The introductory themes are used once again as the coda brings the piece to a spirited conclusion. Duration: 3.30

Civil War Echoes (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Longfield, Robert

As America commemorates 150 years since the Civil War, here is an appealing medley for young players that uses music of the period. The bugle call "Taps" originated during the Civil War and is used here at the beginning of the piece and incorporated again at the end. The tender ballad Tenting on the Old Campground provides lyric contrast before closing with the rousing spiritual Free At Last.Duration: 3:25

Clair (Concert Band - Score and Parts)

The Irish singer-songwriter Gilbert O'Sullivan possibly had his greatest success in 1972 with Clair. With its jazzy harmony, this song deviated a little from the spirit of the time. Stefan Schwalgin took the theme of Clair as a starting point, and gave the melody to the alto saxophone. His arrangement fits the tradition of solo works in which it is not so much about technical virtuosity, but rather about the sincerity and charm of the expression. Let your saxophonist shine with this luscious new solo work. 03:09
