£77.50Ignition (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Stalter, Todd
Ignition is a blindingly fast, raucously energetic concert opener that derives its title from the consecutive rising three-note cells that are the building blocks for almost the entire work. However, the energy unleashed in the music and the imagery of the title serve both as a metaphor for the spark of creativity, and as a celebration in sound for those who find and follow their own true life's passion and pass it along to others, igniting the flame for another generation.Duration: 2.40

£56.50Mother Goose Suite (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Ravel, Maurice - Turner, Jeffrey E.
Ravel wrote the Mother Goose Suite for two children who were very special to him. His fascination with the wonder and imagination of childhood are evident in this piece. This arrangement will take your young band on a journey through the enchanted world of fairy tales - from the reflective Sleeping Beauty Pavane, to the playful Tom Thumb, the exotic Empress of the Pagoda, through the courtship of Beauty and the Beast, and concluding where all fairy tales must, with a happily-ever-after ending in The Fairy Garden. This piece is an excellent vehicle for featuring your soloists, and the well- rafted orchestration will showcase the wealth of sound and colours in any band. Being generously cued, even smaller bands will be able to enjoy Ravel's music. Mother Goose Suite is sure to delight the child in all of us.Duration: 5.15

£48.95Stand Up and Swing (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - O'Reilly, John
Stand up and Swing gives young band students a chance to experience a popular style of music that's really fun to play. Each section of the band takes turns standing up and playing a "solo" while the rest of the ensemble "backs them up" with some "tasty licks" set in a "cool" minor tonality. This "chart" will make even the most inexperienced bands sound mature beyond their years.Duration: 2.45

£87.99A Festive Tribute (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Bach, Johann Sebastian - Sparke, Philip
A Festive Tribute is an arrangement of a splendid chorus which Bach first used in the secular Cantata 207 of 1726, but is perhaps better known in its later version, which appears in Cantata 207a, the descriptively titled Auf, schmetternde Tone der muntern Trompeten, which cannot be adequately translated but means something along the lines of 'let the trumpets sound'. While the lyrics are perhaps a little obsequious, much of the music for this cantata is celebratory and lushly scored for a large orchestra including trumpets, oboes d'amore and flutes, making it an ideal piece for a concert band arrangement.Duration: 3:00

£73.50L'Esprit du Tour (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Bass, Randol Alan
This remarkable piece captures the excitement, physical challenge, intensity and, ultimately, the thrill and sense of accomplishment a rider might experience during such a gruelling and demanding physical trial as Le Tour de France. Both tonal and non-tonal compositional materials, some indeterminate and serial techniques, special percussion (a six-tom-tom cluster, heavy chains and four metal plates) along with traditional and non-traditional development procedures are used -impressing upon listeners, through sound, a sense and feel of competitive bicycling, from the point of view of the athletes themselves. In hopes of imbuing the music with the flavour of the various cultures coming together for this contest, the composition contains extant source material as well - including La Marsellaise, The Star-Spangled Banner and a brief reference to The Eyes of Texas.Duration: 4.45

£56.50Spy Chase (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Karrick, Brant
Spy Chase evokes images of one's favourite secret agent who is about to embark upon a mission placed deep in the field of crime, espionage, and corruption, and of course our hero will always have time for a little romance. The music will sound reminiscent by using familiar "spy chords," a minor triad with added 6th or raised 7th, and the trademark chromaticism associated with the composer's favourite spy movies.

£91.99Panis Angelicus (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Franck, Cesar - Sparke, Philip
Although Cesar Franck won many prizes during his student days his music was generally unrecognised by his contemporaries. His pieces were written in the romantic style whilst retaining a classical structure and his later compositions were referred to as 'cathedrals of sound'. Panis Angelicus is poetic and almost serene and this arrangement by Philip Sparke retains all of the beauty of the original.Duration: 3:20

£44.95Ye Olde Dance Musicke (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Fraser, Bruce
This piece reflects the style of Elizabethan dance music. The opening tempo should be quite steady, though played with energy. Good balance is required to achieve the contrasts. The change of tempo should be easily achieved, again taking care with the balance, dynamics and accents to produce an energetic performance.Titles in the Prelude Series are specifically scored for bands with few, if any, bass instruments but will sound well on larger ensembles. The bass line is playable by any combination of bass clarinet, bassoon, baritone saxophone, trombone, euphonium or tuba; in the event that none of these is available, the part for trombone/euphonium (B flat TC) can be played by tenor saxophone. The tuned percussion part is entirely optional and can be played by any available instrument(s). Each piece also includes a preliminary exercise. This is always in the same key as the accompanying piece and consists of a scale and chord progression that can be used for improving ensemble, balance, intonation and instrumental facility by changing tempo, articulation and dynamics.Duration: 1:45

The sounds of a valiant knight going into battle are heard in this powerful original by Mark Williams. This work uses only seven notes yet sounds surprisingly sophisticated.
