£184.99Sacred Harp (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Bocook, Jay
Jay's impressive three-movement suite is based on melodies from the early American "Sacred Harp" singing tradition is a masterwork of dramatic orchestrational devices. "Stratfield" opens with a striking statement by the saxes and double reeds, then builds intensity using woodwind flourishes and soaring brass lines. "Idumea" begins in a quiet and delicate manner then gives way to thundering percussion and striking harmonic effects. The joyous "Pisgah" has a barn dance quality that provides the perfect conclusion to this powerful work for winds.Duration: 8:00

£48.95The Holly and the Ivy (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Gassi, Vince
Adorn your holiday concerts with this charming new setting of a familiar English carol. To open, we hear a jubilant proclamation leading to a presentation of the melody in 4/4 by the trumpets, supported with clarinets and light percussion. Soon, the low brass revels in the theme while the woodwinds festoon and decorate. Spirits are lifted with a change of key until we are gradually transported to a gentle variation in 3/4 where all is calm. It isn't long before we hear the exuberant melody again and all is brought to a joyous conclusion. You'll be programming this one for years to come.Duration: 2.45

£53.95Ants in My Pants (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Bate, Jane Russell
This piece is a sophisticated rag on a not-so-sophisticated subject - a literal case of ants in the pants. As the hapless fellow performs his syncopated gyrations caused by the ants, the music quickens and we hear the victim slapping and scratching in an effort to rid himself of the tickly creatures. Brass players will enjoy flutter-tonguing, glisses, and wa-was in this highly entertaining tune.Duration: 3:10

£149.99Musica Helvetica (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - De Haan, Jan
Every year a competition for wind orchestras and brass bands takes place in Wallberg, Switzerland. Apart from a hymn and a solo piece, all orchestras also have a compulsory piece to play. The commission to create a compulsory piece for the 2012 competition fell to Jan de Haan. The composition is entitled Musica Helvetica. It takes the form of a three-part concert work, in which the last two parts flow directly from one to the other. The first part, Musica Prima, is a brisk virtuoso opening with jazz flavours woven in. The following section, Musica Sacra, offers a contrast with an extraordinarily colourful instrumentation for the gorgeous main theme. The final part, Musica Alpina, is inspired by the great variety of scenery in Switzerland. With its witty humour it makes a worthy conclusion to this beautiful tryptich.Duration: 12.00

£53.95Wings (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Gassi, Vince
The men and women of the Royal Canadian Air Force are the inspiration behind this original composition by Vince Gassi. The first work in his Armed Forces Suite, it takes off with a bright, spirited theme first heard in the flutes. The rest of the ensemble soon joins in the maneuvers and offers a fuller tactical report. Clarinets take over with dignity, providing a lyrical contrast, and are supported by a stately accompaniment. It isn't long before we start to feel the "spirit of adventure" building to a contrasting section conveying images of stealth and intrigue. Covert operations lead finally to a restatement of the opening theme by the brass with flute and clarinet obligato. Interlace with fragments from the covert section and we are carried to a soaring conclusion. If you are looking for a spirited concert opener or closer, look no further!Duration: 3:15

A modified "roll-off" by the percussion section leads to a seamless modulation and the final presentation of the melody.
