£45.95Caribbean Crustacean - David M. Martin
This is an outstanding addition to the first and second year band repertoire and will provide an opportunity to introduce or reinforce basic syncopation. The excellent melodic material uses only limited ranges and instrumentation. There is plenty to keep the percussion section busy; just double the auxiliary parts as needed. This is tasteful and appropriate writing for beginning bands.

£79.50Pomp and Circumstance March No. 4 - Edward Elgar / arr. Alfred Reed, M.J. Retford
Of all four marches that came after the overwhelmingly successful No. 1, March No. 4 seems to many people to be most closely related in general effect to the first. Just why this should be so is difficult to say. All five of the Pomp and Circumstance Marches are cast in basically the same form, a two-part A-B-AB, with the "A" part energetic and moving briskly along, and the "B" bringing a change of feeling (even though no actual change of pace is indicated) with the so-called "great tune" by way of contrast. However, it has become almost a tradition with Nos. 1 and 4 to play the final section in a slower tempo, probably in respect of Elgar's tempo marking "Grandioso" at this point. Certainly both of these "great tunes" could, and have, been considered as portraying musically the very essence and glorification of British majesty and power at the time they were written.

£53.95Escaping the Sun - Frank McKinney
A thrilling musical adventure of a suspenseful and dangerous escape from an erupting sun. After an ominous mighty opening in G minor, the mood shifts dramatically to expanding contrapuntal melodies and eventually to a peaceful and lyrical section in B-flat major. Agitato (restless), legato (smoothly), and pesante (ponderous) lines return in G minor to combine for the thrust needed as the flight finally pulls away from the turbulent sun. For musical excitement and contrasting styles, it just doesn't get any better than this! is written by Frank McKinney for concert band.

£92.50Marche Turque/ In the Village - Modest Mussorgsky / arr. Mayhew Lake, Alex Hilliard
Alex Hilliard has updated this 1938 publication for the modern concert band. It utilizes most of Mayhew Lake's original scoring but eliminates such instruments as D-flat Piccolo, E-flat Horns, and B-flat Flugelhorns. The works are fascinating examples of Mussorgsky's output and are just the gems to put a little sparkle into a program.
