£17.95The Platinum Jubilee March (Concert Band - Score only) - Shelton, Chris G.
Queen's Birthday Parade, Quick Troop 2022The Platinum Jubilee March was written to celebrate Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II's seventy-year reign as monarch of the United Kingdom. Its premiere was televised live around the world as part of the Queen's Birthday Parade which marked the start of the national Platinum Jubilee celebrations.The Queen's Birthday Parade 2022 saw the First Battalion of the Irish Guards trooping their colour. To reflect this, the march begins in a celebratory style and features a melody based around the opening motif of Let Erin Remember - the regimental slow march of the Irish Guards. In traditional style, the march develops excitement both harmonically and melodically, creating a strong sense of drive before reaching a stately trio. This section has a very regal and noble feel, lending subtle harmonic nods to two of the most quintessentially British composers, Gustav Holst, and Sir William Walton. The march culminates in a bold grandioso, featuring florid woodwind lines that are underpinned by a driving trombone and horn countermelody. A forthright restatement of the introductory fanfare brings the march to a very definite and resolved ending.Duration: 3.30

Let's Celebrate Wind Band Set (Score & Parts)
Is there something to be celebrated? Then let's play 'Let's Celebrate'! This four-part suite has been based on two birthday songs: the world-famous 'Happy Birthday to you' (which is also sung in many other languages), and the Dutch song 'Lang zal hij/zij leven'. The Fanfare opens in grand style with the motif of 'Lang zal hij leven' and is followed by a cheerful March in which the motifs of both songs can be heard. The third part, Song, forms a moment of contemplation, and the birthday presents are unwrapped by the percussion section in the fourth part, Surprise Party. The yell may be adapted to the occasion. (the sleigh bells caused the composer to note down this somewhat peculiar yell). Of course everybody is expected to join in. 07:00

£309.99Ninth Symphony (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Barnes, James
Premiered on 21 September, 2018 in Lawrence, Kansas by The University of Kansas Wind Ensemble (Dr. Paul Popiel, conducting), James Barnes' Ninth Symphony was composed between January and late June of that same year. This large work was commissioned by a consortium of twenty-one college bands, community bands, professional bands and individuals to help mark the 70th birthday of the composer (b. 1949). It is an expansive forty-minute work in four movements, of which the composer writes, "This is my last symphony...this work represents a compendium of all that I have learned during the fifty years of composing and scoring for this wonderful new medium: the modern wind band." The first movement, subtitled Elegy, is based around G minor. It is the longest movement of the symphony. Tragic and despondent in character, it is cast in sonata-allegro form. The second movement is entitled Scherzo. Barnes claims that "I have always wanted to write a waltz," and that is how this movement is cast, in a modified rondo form in D minor. In contrast to the mood of the first movement, the scherzo is a delightful posy of expansive melody, splashy color, humor and rhythm. The third movement, which is in a modified tertiary form, is entitled Night Music. In contrast to the scherzo, this movement begins with a mysterious incantation, first displayed by solo Alto Flute. The music becomes even darker and more mysterious, while overall the movement effectively expresses an "otherworldly" mood, ending with a solo soprano offstage which suddenly emerges, eerily singing a modified version of the opening incantation. Cast in sonata-allegro form, the fourth movement is most definitely a rousing Finale, beginning with a brilliant fanfare and undergoing several mood transformations before emerging into the final coda, ending the symphony with an energetic splash of color.

£137.99Hanover Festival (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Sparke, Philip
The Hanover Wind Symphony, New Jersey, USA was founded in 1984 by its conductor Peter Boor. He commissioned Hanover Festival to celebrate the band's 15th Birthday and the first performance took place on October 27th 1999. The piece starts with a solemn brass fanfare. Woodwinds join in and the music subsides into an expressive chorale. A climax is reached and the fanfare returns. Trumpets introduce an explosive vivo section, characterised by an energetic theme from the horns and low clarinets. A bridge passage with strong brass chords leads to a playful section that introduces a legato central theme under woodwind figures. This is taken up by the full band, the playful music returns and the original horn tune is reintroduced. Finally the opening fanfare returns, this time accompanied by music from the vivo section, until a fast and furious coda closes the work.Duration: 8:20

£236.00Pome symphonique en forme d'ouverture - Paul Gilson
In September 1925, on the occasion of the sixty-fifth birthday of their 'master', seven students of Paul Gilson gathered to form the first composers' collective in Belgian national music history. The members of Les Synthtistes (the Synthetists) are Ren Bernier, Francis de Bourguignon, Gaston Brenta, Tho Dejoncker, Marcel Poot, Maurice Schoemaker and Jules Strens. Their intent is twofold and both theoretical and practical. Les Synthtistes want to distinguish themselves as the 'Brussels seven' by breaking away from the prevailing late-romantic music of their time. Their theoretical aim is to synthesize the modern tendencies in music from 1925 onwards, to connect with the 'acquisitions of contemporary music' and to apply them within balanced and well-defined forms. Their practical goal is to make it easier to find a stage to perform their new symphonic music by uniting. In a period when there is no professional symphonic orchestra in Belgium, apart from the opera orchestra, they compose and transcribe their original symphonic works for wind band. They work together with Arthur Prevost and the Royal Band of the Belgian Guides which grew into a model instrumentation of 85 musicians during the interwar period. Thanks to Prevost and the Guides a unique collection of original, modern music for wind band by Les Synthtistes can be heard on the Brussels concert stages during the interwar period. Because only a few works of this unique, forgotten collection of 75 works were published, this unique canon remained largely unknown. Thanks to a historical study of sources by Luc Vertommen, these works for wind band are now, a century after their creation, made accessible and recorded for the first time.
