£84.50I'm Seventeen Come Sunday - Percy Aldridge Grainger / arr. Douglas E. Wagner

Sharp in 1912, from Sumerset. Welcome Douglas Wagner's sensitive setting of one of Grainger's best-known works. (3:00)

£53.95Western Fair - Ryan Meeboer
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. by Ryan Meeboer is an energetic, uplifting piece that can be fun for both players to perform and listeners to hear. It is composed using two main melodies that are performed in many forms, combined in various fragments, and supported with different harmonic backgrounds, giving it new life each time it is heard. The piece slowly builds from a simple solo into an epic, cut-time feel in the middle before driving to an exciting ending.
