£57.50FROSTY THE SNOWMAN (Young Band) - Nelson & Rollins - Cofield, Frank
With a career spanning 4 decades, Frank Cofield was a key composer/arranger/editor during the formative years of Hal Leonard. His writing was always fresh and his orchestrational style allowed bands of all sizes to sound their best. Frank passed away in 2005. Here is one of his classic arrangements that works just as well today as when it was first published more than 20 years ago.

£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.

£70.50Dreams of Fireflies (On a Christmas Night) - Paul O'Neill
For the night is God's cathedral and the stars visit in dreams of fireflies. Let this arrangement from the Trans-Siberian Orchestra repertoire add a bit of holiday spice to your winter concert. This piece can be more authentically performed by adding the optional electric violin and electric guitar but can be played by concert band alone. Driving and energetic, just as you'd expect! (2:30)

Hornpipe Highlights - Johan Nijs
The Hornpipe is a typical Celtic solo dance, traditionally danced and performed by English sailors. A sound often associated with the Hornpipe is that of the Bdhran, an Irish drum made with a sheep's skin head. John Nijs has taken great care in creating an authentic-sounding Hornpipe in which the Bdhran part is played by the tambourine, but sounds just as good!

£102.99Marche Hroique - Menno Bosgra
The main theme is introduced quite subtly in the beginning and then the instrumentation gradually widens and all groups ultimately join in together. This leads to an impressive climax which gradually fades away just as it arrived. This innovative concert march is extremely suitable for young and dynamic ensembles and allows you to develop the sound and manner of playing.

£53.50Four Pictures - Árpád Balázs
The teachers under whom rpd Balzs (b.1937) studied composition - Ferenc Farkas, Aram Khachaturian and Goffredo Petrassi - each independently formed the opinion that with his lyrical gift rpd Balzs's true creative field would be that of choral music and wind ensembles. Their early predictions are borne out by the roughly two hundred and fifty works for choir and almost twenty for wind orchestra that the composer has since produced. It is interesting that in the suite entitled Ngy kp (Four pictures) the stylistic features of these two related musical fields are united. In it the wind instruments sing! It was not by chance that the expansive second movement was given the title Cantilena, while the slightly livelier but just as lyrical third movement was entitled Arietta. The opening movement of the work is a stridently jolly, energetic Indul (March), but not one of the rigidly military kind: the 6/8 rhythm contributes to its light-hearted character. This music is avowedly akin to the ballet music of Prokofiev. This choice series of four character pieces is crowned by Jtk (Play) in which conveying the effect of the mixture of lines moving in parallel and then colliding with each other may be more technically demanding, but is well worth the effort!
