£199.99Gemini Concerto (Trumpet and Euphonium Duet with Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Sparke, Philip
Gemini Concerto was commissioned by and written for Ryukoku University (Japan), Andre Henry and Shoichiro Hokazono. Set in three movements, the concerto aims to explore the close relationship, as solo instruments, between the trumpet and euphonium, exploiting the many common factors between the two as well as the subtly different characteristics they possess in terms of both lyrical and rhythmic playing. The first movement is a bustling toccata and the second movement is lyrical and improvisatory in nature. A fantastic piece and a great addition to the repertoire!Duration: 11.00

£250.00The England of Elizabeth,Three Portraits from (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Williams, Vaughan - Noble, Paul
This suite was derived from Vaughan Williams' score for the film, The England of Elizabeth, written in 1955. It was the composer's tenth of his 11 cinematic efforts and designed to serve a more descriptive role than other such scores, since the movie was a documentary featuring no action scenes, but lots of images of paintings, buildings, and the like. Composer Muir Matheson adapted this three-movement suite, probably shortly after the composer's death in 1958, though publication of the manuscript would not come until 1964. The first movement is entitled Explorer, and refers to Sir Francis Drake. Its music is mostly festive and colourful, but features interior passages of exotic flavor, similar in style to that of Vaughan Williams' then-recent Symphony No.8. The second movement is entitled Poet and, at about seven minutes, is the longest of the three in this 16 to 17 minute work. It also contains probably the score's best music, hardly a surprising result since the poet in question is Shakespeare, one of the composer's favourites and an inspirational springboard for so many other of his works. The mood is mostly subdued and Vaughan Williams presents lovely, if slightly somber music in the opening, and follows it with a hearty, folk-like dance tune. The latter part of this movement depicts Shakespeare as a noble, heroic figure in English history. The last movement, Queen, is devoted to Queen Elizabeth. It has a regal yet muscular manner at the outset, and features a gentle but somewhat disengaged middle section. It returns to the splendor and colour of the opening to close the work. This suite is important because it distills some of the best music from the film into a logically assembled structure. Program notes extracted from those of Robert Cummings.

£144.99Purcellian Fantasia (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - De Haan, Jan
This composition is based on the march from Henry Purcell's Music for the funeral of Queen Mary II, a work written in 1694. In this fantasia, various movements flow from one to the next following the main theme: these movements not only elaborate on the theme, but also contrast with it. At times, the thematic material diverges so much, that the work acquires a character of its own: however, the composer often refers back to fragments of the theme. Duration: 11.30

£149.99Mystic River (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Doss, Thomas
The mysterious river Traun, which emerges from several springs in the Totes Gebirge (the so-called 'Dead Mountains') of Styria (Stiermarken-Austria), flows in full splendor and beauty through the loveliest lakes. The Traun meanders through the Salzkammergut like a crystal ribbon along the Ho?llengebirge. This piece is like an exciting musical voyage along the river telling the story of a rich history, from the earliest Celtic settlements to the construction of important power plants. It offers different and versatile passages for all instrument groups, making Mystic River the ideal contest work or the main piece in a challenging concert programme. Duration: 11.30

£174.99Fiori (Flute Solo with Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Doss, Thomas
Fiori finds its genesis in a walk through an impressionistic garden. It expresses not only the atmosphere and mood but also tiny and grotesque scenes between the insects. The flute, as a solo instrument, plays a perfect role in this marvellous micro world. It was a challenge for the composer to integrate the sound of the flute through the "fragrance of flowers and exotic plants that fills the air".Duration: 11.45
