£89.99Shorewood Overture (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Sweeney, Michael
Combining an extravaganza for players of all levels creates an exciting spectacle for parents, while providing much needed incentives for the younger players. Shorewood Overture is specifically designed to be performed by multi-level bands and, rather than the typical massed band number where everyone plays at once, this ingenious overture allows each level to be featured briefly by itself, along with sections where everyone plays together. In addition, the Level 3 parts include cues that allow the piece to be performed by a single ensemble.Duration: 4:20Note: Level 2/Level 1 versions are not playable separately

£42.50Celtic Air and March (Songs of Irish Rebellion) (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Sweeney, Michael
Following in Michael's popular Celtic Air and Dance format, here are two contrasting melodies associated with centuries of Irish conflict and turmoil. The haunting ballad The Foggy Dew was composed shortly after the Easter Rising of 1916, and is followed by the inspirational march The Minstrel Boy from the Irish Rebellion of 1798.

£79.99Villages (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Sweeney, Michael
Calling for the band to be divided into four separate ensembles (and spread apart if space permits), Villages explores a wide range of harmonic and rhythmic interplay between each of these musical villages. The opening creates a dense canopy of sound, out of which the unique identity of each group variously emerges then melts back into the texture. As the fast pace continues, melodic fragments are bounced from group to group with interjections from the percussion. A slower lyric section provides contrast before the frantic pace returns leading to the exciting conclusion. Innovative in its conception, this stunning work will expose your students and audience to dramatically new sounds for band!Duration: 8:15

£53.50Particles (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Sweeney, Michael
This unusual work portrays the transformation of matter from solid to liquid and ultimately to gas. You'll hear a single musical theme transformed throughout, starting with a very rigid and dense opening statement. From there the theme is treated in a lyrical style (liquid), and finally the pace becomes frantic and energetic as the melodic particles transform into gas. Using unique scoring techniques (including a few aleatoric sections and dramatic percussion effects) this descriptive work will stir the imagination of players and audience alike.Duration: 5:30

Along the way, various moods are suggested as themes and musical ideas are passed from section to section. The percussion section provides a driving, rhythmic pulse throughout.Duration: 3:00
