£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

£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

£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

£49.95Quasi Pizzicati (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Delibes, Leo - Brand, Geoffrey
Pizzicati is a direction to players of stringed instruments to play the notes by plucking the strings with the finger. So 'Quasi Pizzicati' (quasi=like) is an invitation to wind players to produce the effect of plucking the sound by the use of staccato. An interesting challenge! the music is from the ballet, Sylvia, by French composer Leo Delibes (1836-1891). Its light-handed touch deftly conjures a scene of graceful ballerinas, poised on points of toes, making staccato-like movements.

£59.95Sounds and Rounds for Band (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Brand, Geoffrey
If you have ever stood before a Concert Band and wondered how you may best help them to sound better then SOUNDS will help. SOUNDS are exercises designed to improve DYNAMICS, RHYTHM, CRESCENDO and DIMINUENDO, INTERVALS, RESTS and ACCENTS. The exercises can also be used for warm-up purposes. They are interesting to play whilst creating an awareness of some of the fundamentals of good performance. ROUNDS are a form of Canon in unison (or octaves) with the players entering at regular rhythmic periods. The first Rounds were printed in 1609 so people have enjoyed performing this form of music for a very long time and still do. Kookaburra comes from Australia, Row Row Row the Boat is English, Frre Jacques is French and in this version a variation on the original melody has been added which also works as a round and adds to the fun. A full score has been provided in order to facilitate rehearsal.
