£71.50Halloween Waltz In Five - Robert E. Foster
Ghouls, ghosts and goblins try their best to dance their Halloween night away, but try as they may, it just doesnt turn out right. This quirky tune lets your band frighten and delight your audience with screams, blaring noises and an odd sense of waltz time (3/4 and 2/4 mixed meter). It gives you a great chance to teach mixed meter, and gives your students something really fun to play!

£82.50Distant Mirrors - William Ballenger
This stylish, colorful work opens quietly with solo clarinet and crystal clear mallet highlights reminiscent of a lyrical English folksong. The decidedly English flavor is maintained as sections of the band gradually join in, changing the character of the piece to a rollicking dance. Easily playable, with active percussion and evocative melodic lines, this is indeed a musical reflection on our cultural heritage.

£121.00Little Masquerade Suite - Johan Halvorsen
In 1922 Halvorsen was commissioned to write incidental music for the bicentennial performance of a comedy written by Norwegian playwright Ludvig Holberg. Masquerade calls for a diverse pallet of music depicting ballet and dance scenes filled with silly play and gaiety. As a result, the music is graceful, as found in Cotillion, playful as in the Bacchanale, and burlesque for the Rooster and Grotesque dances. The original Masquerade Suite for orchestra consisted of eight dances; this arrangement for concert band comprises the first, third, fifth and sixth movements of Halvosens original suite. A delightful programing selection displaying humor, wit and elegance in the four brief movements.

£121.00Tock - Kenneth Froelich
Tock is a single movement work for concert band that uses percussion and asymmetrical rhythms to mimic the "tocking" of a broken clock. The repetition of melodies and of motive fragments are used to establish a regular pulse; however, while this pulse is steady, it is not even. A five-four time signature, a syncopated bass line and irregular phrases are all used to offset the central beat of the music. Much like the clock, the end result is a dance that seems consistent but is in fact "broken." Its a work that is both fascinating and creative, excellent cutting-edge writing for upper-level ensembles.

£174.99Mexican Pictures - Franco Cesarini
Your band will love getting acquainted with Mexican Pictures, a suite in four movements based on Mexican folk music. The first movement, El Butaquito, is based on a very lively folk-song of the same name and is characterised by its many contrasting rhythms. The second movement, Romance Mejicano, creates a peaceful and romantic atmosphere. The title of the third movement, Ballaviejo, means 'Antique Dance', in which the word antique refers to the rhythms that were taken to America by Africa's black population. La Charreada, the final movement, depicts the popular Mexican Rodeo, where the action in the arena is usually supported by instrumental ensembles, the so-called 'Mariacchi'.
