The dynamic energy of minimalism combines with the epic sounds of thunderstorms in this contemporary and powerful work. Opening with the haunting sounds of vibraphone, piano, crystal glasses and ethereal percussion, the music soon begins to naturally phase in and out as the storm continues to grow. Powerful lines collide with moments of delicate transparency before a gentle rainstorm emerges from within the ensemble. Stunning music.

£53.95Overture for Symphonic Band - Bin Kaneda
Overture for Symphonic Band was composed in 1970 by Bin Kaneda at the request of the Yamaha Concert Band.

The idea for the theme of the Allegro came to the composer during a Fall festival of the village in Shikoku Island, along the coast of the Inland Sea where he spent two years of his childhood. The Yamaha Concert Band won the Gold Medal award with the performance of this music at the All Japan Band Concert in the Fall of 1971.

Tribal sounds are unmistakable in representing this ancient Indian nation. The Cahokia were the prehistoric Indian civilization which built the impressive mounds in Illinois that still exist today. The music represents the images of war, peace, celebration, and mystery which the composer encountered as he wandered in the footsteps of the ancient ones. Images of this long-departed culture reappear in this highly descriptive music for young band.

£92.50The Gliding Girl - John Philip Sousa / arr. Loras John Schissel
John Philip Sousa wrote music in a variety of styles and was particularly adept at dance music, which, of course, was the original purpose of the march. The Gliding Girl is a tango, and its relaxed tempo and style will provide an effective contrast to his standard marches.

£50.50Warlock - Kevin Kaisershot
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. A warlock is a male who practices witchcraft. This little tonal caricature by Kevin Kaisershot seeks to musically portray this enigmatic character in a somewhat less than frightening way. The tritone and its usage in the Middle Ages was forbidden, but today has become more associated with its rather "devious" sound and pops up every so often in music of that nature. The opening is that of the shroud of mystery surrounding the character. The main body of the piece is the swirling cone of energy that the character possesses, and the waltz section is a dance related section containing a bit of devious comic relief.
