£59.40United Nations - Swearingen, James
James Swearingen's bright new arrangement brings out the best in the most famous of Karl King's easier marches. Stirring melodies and counter melodies made King a "tunesmith" like no other and this arrangement is sure to become just as popular as Swearingen's previous treatments of "Alamo", "Coast Guards and "Allied Honor". Absolutely perfect for any concert or contest situation. Easy enough to be successfully performed by younger groups, but nice enough to be programmed by even the very best bands.

£92.50Porgy and Bess (Medley) - George Gershwin / arr. James Barnes
The music from the timeless masterwork has fascinated generation after generation. Oddly enough, at its premiere the critics presented mixed reaction: some calling it the pioneering work of a new folk-opera genre, and others condemning it as merely a succession of hit songs. Fortunately, time has secured its place in history. James Barnes has skillfully crafted a wonderful scoring of "I Got Plenty O' Nuttin'," "It Ain't Necessarily So," "Summertime," "Crab Man," and "Bess, You Is My Woman Now." This is Gershwin at his best! (8:30)

£79.99Commemoration - James Barnes
Commemoration was commissioned by the members of the Northwest North Carolina Bandmasters Association to recognize the distinguished career of Dr. William A. Gora, the longtime Director of Bands at Appalachian State University, who passed away in 2015. Bill was loved by his students, respected by his peers and cherised by his many friends. A brilliant musician, a fine conductor and a warm human being with a marvelous sense of humor, Bill has been sorely missed by all. Gora was friends with composer James Barnes for over 40 years. They met when Barnes was still in graduate school at Kansas and Gora had just finished his DMA at the University of Florida. When the NNCBDA asked Barnes to compose a work in Bill's honor, he was honored to do so. He decided to write a cheerful work for Bill, full of energy, color and melody, because he knew this is what he would have wanted; no funeral dirges for Bill Gora. The soft middle portion of the work, a hymn-like tune scored in saxophone choir, was included because Bill was a fine saxophonist and, for many years, the saxophone teacher at ASU.

£57.50Toccata and Chorale - James Curnow
Written in a sophisticated and dynamic style, this work from James Curnow is more impressive sounding than the easy grade level would indicate.
