£149.99Finnish Folk Song Suite (Wind Band - Score and Parts) - Van der Roost, Jan
In this moderately easy suite, Jan Van der Roost uses four authentic folk tunes from the Swedish-speaking part of Finland. These are from Nagu, Oravais, Lappfjrd and Karlebynejden, and have been joined together without pauses to form a continuous suite. The work begins with noble, almost meditative melodies. Gradually the tempo becomes faster, resulting in a brilliant and cheerful folk dance. The melody regularly goes from one band section to another ensuring that the timbre remains varied and there is no question of monotony. This is an attractive suite which is within the range of the majority of concert bands.Duration: 7:45

£52.95Canadian Folk Trilogy - Vince Gassi
offers a refreshing setting of three popular Canadian Folk songs. Kicking things off is an enjoyable adaptation of "Donkey Riding." Singing this tune helped sailors to pass the time as they used the donkey engine to load timber onto the decks of ships in Canadian ports. "Inuit Lullaby" slows the pace with a simple but beautiful melody set in three bar phrases. Finally, we conclude with a rollicking version of "I's the B'y" (I'm the Boy), a traditional Newfoundland folk song.

£79.50Moravian Folk Rhapsody - Robert Sheldon
This work for band is a setting of several delightful Moravian folk dances. "Stoji hruska v oudoli" is a fast-paced two-step dance. "Rozluc se Ancicko" features a clarinet solo in a mournful, yet lilting, slow 6/8 melody. "Preskoda nastokrat" is a highly rhythmic piece in a moderate tempo that features a brief double reed/piccolo section. "Ma zlata maticka" begins with an unaccompanied alto saxophone solo, then includes a folk dance that begins slowly and increases in tempo. "Vojaci jedou" is a proud and uplifting march in 3/4 time. "U Kl...tera pole" ends the rhapsody with a lively 2/4 dance that builds to a rousing conclusion. Performers and audiences alike will enjoy the wonderful colors and tonality of this charming music from the Czech Republic. (9:20) This title is available in MakeMusic Cloud.
