£113.30Enjoy - Marco Tamanini
"Enjoy", but also savour, relish: this is not descriptive music, but music to be appreciated. From three points of view: the rhythm of the first movement, the melody of the second and the swing of the third. This piece is characterised by a continuous variation of timbres and colours, in a quest for instrumental solutions that are constantly changing. Examples of this are the main theme in the first movement, which provides the rhythmic backing for the introduction of the third movement, or the sinuous melody of the Bolero, which unravels in a constant development of sounds and timbres.

Little Suite for Summer - Peter Schickele
These seven charming pieces were written by Mr. Schickele for his son's eight birthday, with the Primo part being easy enough for his son to play. The titles of the pieces were suggested by the music: CHA, CHA, CHA BOOMDEEAY because of the first movement's clangorous ending: NORTH STAR, with a hushed and lyrical melody inspired by the composer's stargazing: FOR CHARLIE THE PARROT, a vivid musical description of the imitative abilities of this bird: DUSK ON THE PALISADES, with its evocative ougmented chord textures: SORE IN THE SADDLE AGAIN, a delightful spoof of the well-known Western melody: GREASED LIGHTENING, with its flying runs and scales: and MINK HOLLOW MORNING,because of its gentle sostenuto lines and legato accompaniment figures-a musical description of a quiet and happy summer morning in the country. The Primo part is very easy, the Secondo is mostly easy medium. For studios, schools, some college & professional. Easy medium.

£104.50Inscriptions For Band - Claude T. Smith
The opening features the brass section in a minor mode, chorale-like and very dramatic. The harmonic stress set forth in the opening is soon released with a lyrical trumpet melody, punctuated bass line and a rhythmic woodwind accompaniment. The development of the melody continues with different accompaniment patterns. This is a dramatic and energetic overture that should be in every school library.

£104.50Meramec Rhapsody - Claude T. Smith
This work is a commission by the Missouri Bandmasters Association to honor the 50th Anniversary of the MMEA. From the opening melody stated by unison flutes, 1st clarinet and 1st trumpet, the work quickly starts through a development of that melody that only this composer does so well. The writing is very "rubato" chorale style often interrupted with short allegro sections but always returning to the opening statement. There is a short flute solo passage as well as a very fluent alto sax solo. A dramatic piece that bands will enjoy playing for years to come.

£82.50Celestial Flight - Jim H. Johnson
"Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth..." Inspired by the poem "High Flight" this work takes musical flight with sweeping woodwinds and mallets soaring above the cinematic melodic statement by brass. The highly rhythmic melody soars upward to the middle, lyrical section which seems to float effortlessly through the upper reaches of the sky. As the sustained expressive melody reaches it's musical apex it reunites with the opening material to finish with a swift and breathtaking finish.

Celebrations - Wim Laseroms
This stately march was composed to mark any celebration and more specifically the anniversary of the foundation of a band. The main theme is a wonderful legato melody which is interrupted several times with flowing arpeggios. Following a regal trio melody the main theme returns with a triumphal feel. A great new march for use at any celebration.
