£80.00Clarinet Concerto (The Fallen) (Clarinet Solo with Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Wilson, Jeffery
The three movements are 'Conflict', 'The Fallen' and 'Resolution', themes that are freely interpreted musically. In 'Conflict', the solo clarinet begins with an ascending figure based on octave leaps, while the accompaniment contrasts with marcato quavers and harsh dissonances. The melody features seventh intervals, and while the movement is marked 3/4 the accompaniment is often 6/8. This is more evident in the second theme where the clarinet line moves much more by step. The development takes these ideas and the cadenza comes from yet more conflict between the now calm clarinet and dissonant clashes in the accompaniment. 'The Fallen' is the slow movement and poignantly features notes from 'The Last Post' in the opening and a beautiful working of 'David of the White Rock' later on. The final movement 'Resolution' is a Rondo in 6/8, brighter but with hints of the initial conflict through the sevenths in the meno mosso sections which interrupt the flow. Another long cadenza takes short ideas from the piece before the work comes to a triumphant end with all four E notes across the whole range, echoing the beginning. Wilson set out to write a concerto for a versatile instrument and has found ways to exploit its capabilities while keeping tonal centre. There are frequent altissimo notes within all three movements. Wilson does use the very low notes, most notably in the cadenzas, but much of the work is high, presumably to allow the clarinet to carry over the wind band accompaniment. A good command of all notes right up to A sharp an octave above the stave is needed, plus technique to travel to and from altissimo notes (legato). The piece is around 25 minutes long. Printing is clear and the piano accompaniment comes as a spiral bound volume.

£36.95You Left Me Reeling (Clarinet Solo with Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Wiffin, Rob
A fun and challenging solo for clarinet and band. This fast and increasingly frantic solo started life as an attempt to capture the quintessential spirit of Irish Reels. It's a real work-out for the soloist, not that the rest of the band remains completely unscathed. The reels appear in various guises and the dancing becomes more frenzied as the pace accelerates to the end. Duration: 3.30

£36.95The Lark in the Morning (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Wiffin, Rob
A vibrant folk dance set for full band. This is one of several folk tunes associated with this title. It's a jig in a minor key with suitable drumming which plays with and across (in hemiola style) the 6/8 rhythm. The setting is dramatic and intense while maintaining the feel of the jig. The outer sections are balanced by a quieter section which momentarily takes the heat out of the music before the dance takes over again and builds to a conclusion.Duration: 3.15

£44.95Grandeur and Glory (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Wiffin, Rob
Every now and again I feel the impulse to return to my ceremonial background from my time in the RAF. Grandeur and Glory is one of those pieces that suits those occasions when pomp and circumstance is required. It starts and ends with a slow-building fanfare in the style of Handel's Zadok the Priest. These sections flank a jaunty tune which is flavoured by a few lateral harmonic twists. - Rob Wiffin. Duration: 3.15
