£45.95Entrance of the Shogun - David Marlatt
In ancient Japan, the shogun were the military commanders appointed by the emperor. Grand and regal, when a shogun appeared to the public, there was a sense of awe and power at this warrior leader. Flanked by armies of samurai warriors, their power was obvious and their respect was demanded. This clever piece for very young band uses only the 5 notes used in a pentatonic scale (like playing just the black keys on the piano). This gives this beginning band piece a true Asian sonority.

£103.00Encircled - Jonathan Dagenais
"Encircled" puts recurring rhythmic passages in the foreground, reminding us of traditional military music. These passages are always enveloped in more modern sonorities and harmonies in order to combine tradition and modernity. Right from the first notes, we can hear the melodic/rhythmic motif which will serve as the main musical material throughout the whole work. With cadenzas, flowing lyrical writing, and powerful rhythmic drive, this is an exciting and dramatic work.

£58.50The Loyal Legion March - John Philip Sousa / arr. Loras John Schissel
Enjoyable and very playable, this stellar march is yet another example of Sousa's complete mastery of the style. "The Loyal Legion" was written to commemorate the twenty-fifth anniversary of the Military Order of the Loyal Legion of the United States, an organization composed primarily of American Civil War officers and their descendants. The anniversary celebration was held in Philadelphia on April 15 and 16, 1890, and the U.S. Marine Band was ordered by the Secretary of the Navy to participate. The march was originally an entr'acte to the Sousa opera "The Queen of Hearts," composed in 1885. The work is now available in a superb edition by Sousa scholar Loras John Schissel, which is exclusively endorsed by John Philip Sousa IV.

£70.50Fiat Lux (March) - Howard Cable
In 1951, during the war in Korea, Canada's National Defense Department produced a radio series titled "Voice of the Army". The Howard Cable Concert Band was the main stay of this patriotic/public relations program. Half the musical content was military, the balance 50's pop. Thirty nine programes required two marches per show. I composed eight and at the war's end the music went to storage. Some years later I re-constructed several of these forgotten scores; one of which is Fiat Lux - Dedicated to the University of Lethbridge.

£73.50Alla Marcia - Bruce Yurko
Beginning with a stately drum roll-off, Alla marcia may seem like an ordinary march. It doesn't take long after the trumpets announce the military style melody to see that the work is 'like a march' in its sound and texture. However, an occasional three-two bar adds sparkle and interest whenever it arrives. Alla marcia can be programmed wherever you might use a more conventional march, but want something a little 'left of center.'
