£66.95Firescape - David Marlatt
is the third piece in a series of "elements" inspired works. Through music it demonstrates the various characteristics of fire described by the titles of each section: "Hephaestus---God of Fire," "By the Glow of a Candle," and "Wildfire!" Hephaestus was the Greek god of fire and forges and was blacksmith for the gods. The sound of his anvil can be clearly heard in this section. The smooth reflective middle section features solos for flute, trumpet, and trombone before the percussion section takes over in the fast, energetic, and driving rhythms that bring this exciting work to a close.

£60.50River of Dreams - Victor López
The initial eerie flute solo is joined by other members of the woodwind family, then the full ensemble, and the piece takes off! The energetic section builds to a frenzy interrupted with bright bursts of sound. The beautiful melody returns again in the trumpet, then low brass, building to a dynamic close. Real music for your young band. This one is certain to be a winner. (4:36) This title is available in MakeMusic Cloud.

£62.95Caliber - Erik Morales
Inspired by the inner workings of a mechanical wristwatch, Caliber contrasts the steady rhythmic nature of watches with broad flowing melodies. Rute sticks are used to mimic the sound of a ticking watch. The entire work develops continuously as the music moves into a final series of explosive chords with an underlying pulse. Innovative and highly entertaining!

£48.95Two Scandinavian Melodies - Todd Stalter
These two delightful Scandinavian melodies offer a glimpse into the folk music of a region that is not prominently featured in band literature. Teaching opportunities abound for sensitive musicianship and stylistic nuance, and the romantic color harmonies provide a rich texture that enhances the depth of the sound of the concert band. (2:40)

£53.95Expression - Craig Andrew Fitzpatrick
This beautiful work recreates the sound of a piano with the sustain pedal down. Slow moving harmonies seem to meld together as the lyrical lines soar. The plaintive sounds of the opening give way to a warm brass chorale. Eventually, the entire ensemble joins together in an emotional and glorious declaration. The music then begins to die away as various harmonies and textures weave into each other. Magical.

£73.50The Typewriter - Leroy Anderson / arr. Floyd E. Werlé
Leroy Anderson's music is always infectious and compelling. This wonderful flourish celebrates the clunky office machinery of yesteryear. You may have to teach a little history to your students so that they actually understand what a manual typewriter sounds like. It's a zany sound but the enthusiasm is unmatchable. Your percussionists will love the challenge. This Floyd Werle arrangement is freshly engraved with a full score and brand new parts!

£50.50The Uprising - David Marlatt
provides ultimate flexibility for ensembles with incomplete instrumentation or odd combinations. These pieces are playable by as few as 5 woodwind, brass, or string players with or without percussion. This creates the opportunity for a mixed quintet to perform these titles but also allows for performance for 10-15 players up to full a band/orchestra with parts doubling. Great for music camps, contest use or any band room that has non-standard instrumentation. is a bold and daring work portraying a group challenging the people in power. This has been staged in 6 programatic sections: "The Current Regime" is noble and confident in character---perhaps too confident. "Next Is the Planning"---the rebel forces begin planning quietly but with purpose and drive. This builds as "The Forces Gather"---louder, stronger, and passionate about their beliefs. This inevitably leads to "Battle!" where the forces collide in combat. Short aggressive bursts of sound lead to "Victory Is Ours," where a new order takes their place in charge. "Celebration" begins and builds to a joyous conclusion.

£33.00Error Detection - Student's Edition - Robert Spradling
The Error Detection: Exercises for the Instrumental Conductor texts are designed to improve the critical listening skills of the conducting student through real music excerpts that contain planted errors in the parts for the conductor to find. Both books contain 54 excerpts from standard band literature from grades 2 to grade 6 so students gain knowledge of real music they can use later, not just non-musical etudes. The teacher's edition contains over 350 pages of materials with analysis sheets and answer keys to help the conducting teacher to easily evaluate the student's progress. The teacher's edition also comes with a CD-ROM containing all of the instrumental parts for all of the musical excerpts as PDF files, so the teacher can just print the amount of parts needed for each example, and the examples are arranged to sound satisfying with as little as five players. The Error Detection program has been tested for over 3 years at major university programs like the University of Minnesota, Illinois State University, and the College-Conservatory of Music at the University of Cincinnati.
