£244.99Variations on a Pentatonic Theme - Rob Goorhuis
Rob Goorhuis wrote his Variations on a Pentatonic Theme (1987) for the Royal Wind band of Thorn, conductor Jan Cober. The work consists of five character variations on a pentatonic (five-tone) theme. The basic elements of the theme are the descending minor third and the descending major second, which in the course of the composition build up to a broad melody, unfolding itself in the final variation. The first variation resembles minimal music in its repetitive rhythmic motives. The second variation is explosive in character: rapid broken chords provide a background for soft solo motifs. The third variation is a quiet intermezzo on a slow chorale theme, creatingtwo contrasting moods. The fourth variation is a light-hearted scherzo. The final variation is a brilliant finale with all the necessary ingredients, or, in the composer's words, "the works" Testpiece WMC 2005 Concert Division.

Chorale and Variations - Philip Sparke
As the title suggests, this piece comprises a set of variations on an original chorale,which is presented in the opening bars.The chorale uses the dark middle and lower sections of the band and is extended with minor variations until a pause leads to the first real variation, marked Vivo. This is in the form of a moto perpetuo. The second variation is a beautiful Andante introduced by a solo clarinet. Following a full band climax the final variation opens with quiet, nervous energy until its main theme is introduced.The chorale makes a brief appearance until the main theme reappears. This leads to a triumphant final augmented statement of the chorale theme, decorated by theflorid clarinet theme in the upper woodwinds. A dazzling new concert work.

A exceptionally nice composition for developing bands that utilizes a set of variations based on an eight bar melodic motive.

An impressive composition for this grade level that is a superlative choice for any concert or contest performance. Very highly recommended!

Holly Variations - Mike Hannickel
An energetic addition to your Christmas concert, the Holly Variations merges "Deck the Hall with Boughs of Holly" (a duple-meter carol) with "The Holly and the Ivy" (a triple-meter carol). This unlikely partnership sets the stage for some very interesting rhythmic effects as two strong and opposing meters struggle for dominance. As a striking opener or a "contrast" piece, THE HOLLY VARIATIONS will add spice to your holiday performance.
