£99.99Sheep May Safely Graze (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Bach, Johann Sebastian - Sparke, Philip
There are just over twenty secular cantatas in Bach's prolific output, which include The Coffee Cantata (No 211), The Wedding Cantata (No 202), Phoebus and Pan (No 201) and the Hunt Cantata (No 208) which contains the famous aria Sheep May Safely Graze. Written for four vocal soloists it was originally scored for a relatively large orchestra (including flutes (recorders), oboes and horns) and mixed choir. Although secular in character, the words describe how well a faithful shepherd keeps watch over his flock and hence has obvious allusions to the teachings of the Christian church. Bring a bit of the Baroque era to your concert with this first class arrangement by Philip Sparke.Duration: 5:00

£87.99Largo (from Winter, The Four Seasons) (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Vivaldi, Antonio - Sparke, Philip
Antonio Vivaldi (1678-1741) stands, with Handel and J.S. Bach, as one of the titanic figures of late Baroque composition. Not only was he lauded as a composer of vocal and instrumental works both sacred and secular, he was without serious competition, the most prolific composer of his age. In addition to hundreds of vocal works, including forty-nine operas, he composed five hundred concertos. The Four Seasons are probably the best known of his concerti with the second movement, Largo, portraying time spent by a roaring fire listening to the rain pounding against the window. This arrangement for concert band retains all the warmth of the original.Duration: 3:45

£87.99Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Bach, Johann Sebastian - Sparke, Philip
Bach's appointment as the Cantor at Leipzig's Thomaskirche in 1723 required him to produce a new cantata for every Sunday service. Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring is taken from his Cantata No.147 and is unusually elaborate, treated more like an aria than a chorale. It is perhaps the best-loved cantata movement from Bach's entire output and is a certain crowd pleaser for your concert programme.Duration: 2:45

£79.99Fanfare Prelude (O God, Our Help in Ages Past) (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Curnow, James
Fanfare Prelude: O God, Our Help in Ages Past is based on the hymn-tune St. Anne, which was used by G.F. Handel in the Chandos anthem, O Praise the Lord, and by J.S. Bach in his triple fugue in E-flat, The St. Anne Fugue. James Curnow's Fanfare Prelude: O God, Our Help in Ages Past captures the thoughts of this magnificent hymn, which speaks of America's reliance upon God. The unusual 4/4 meter setting with artfully crafted re-harmonisations and lush counterpoint gives each listener cause to reflect on the importance and meaning of this melody to patriotic Americans everywhere. Inspired!Duration: 4.00
