A dance-like melody dominates this episode and the percussion section is featured in a simple question-and-answer exchange.Duration: 2.30

£41.50Star-Rise (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Vultaggio, Jeanne
Star-Rise is a programmatic work depicting the progress of the stars across the night sky. Bells set the tone with a simple three-note melody as twilight falls and the first stars appear. Percussion effects represent crickets and cicadas chirping in the background. The texture becomes more chorale-like as related but distinct themes reveal themselves, representing rising constellations. As the star themes gently roll by, the harmony grows warmer and the melody becomes more grandiose in preparation for the final star-rise: the arrival of the morning sun.Duration: 2.15

£91.99Exultation (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Sparke, Philip
Exultation is a short and energetic concert opener that is similar to a palindrome. A fanfare opens the work, juxtaposing 3/4 and 6/8, reminiscent of Latin-American music. The main theme is first heard on the euphonium, horns and saxophones which is very bluesy. The contrasting second theme is short and spikey and played by the bass instruments of the band. A lyric melody emerges as the rest of the orchestra joins in. The second theme reappears which leads back to the 'blues' melody, which leads back to the opening fanfare. Palindromic!Duration: 3:00

£72.99He's Gone Away (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Hazo, Samuel R.
One of the most distinctive characteristics of this traditional Appalachian folk song is the jazz-like use of occasional blue notes in the melody and harmony. This setting effectively explores the many instrumental colours and textures of the modern concert band, yet it maintains the simplicity and beauty of the original melody.Duration: 3:45

£104.99Amazing Grace (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Hoshide, Takashi
After he had survived a heavy sea storm, John Newton (1725-1807), captain of a slave ship, became a priest and from then on he fought for the abolition of slavery. During his tenure he wrote several hymns, of which Amazing Grace certainly is the best known. The melody assumedly derives from a song by the African slaves. Takashi Hoshide has written a compelling arrangement of this beautiful melody.Duration: 5:15
