£9.95Earlybird (Concert Band - Score Only) - Gibson, Stephen
Do you enjoy getting up in the morning? Earlybird is composer Stephen Gibsons early morning experience, starting with a soft slumber, then a yawn, followed by the big stretch (the trumpets) and then the increasing speed of the daily routine - the clarinet ostinato. Although the piece introduces some quite complex rhythms, these are invariably easy to hear and play, if not always easy to read at first sight - so persevere!

£49.95BLACK FIRE (after Paradise Lost) (Violin Solo with Concert Band - Score only) - Clarke, Nigel
This is not a straight forward concerto, but rather a symphonic drama for violin and ensemble. It uses the soloist as both protagonist and ensemble player, much as Berlioz treated the viola in his symphony 'Harold in Italy'. Black Fire is written in one movement though it has three clear sections (slow, fast and slow). The music reflects the various shades of darkness and suffering that dominate the atmosphere of the early part of the poem. The violinist takes the role of Satan, reflecting his moods, from righteous indignation to sorrowful remorse. A motif from Wagner's opera 'Gotterdaemmerung' (Twighlight of the Gods) is used throughout the work to represent Satan's brooding hatred. At the end of the work you will find Satan in the form of the solo violin heroically travelling towards Paradise to corrupt 'Mankind'. Duration: 26:00

Clarinet Concerto (Ellerby) (Prestige Concert Band - Score only) - Ellerby, Martin
The opening 'Carousel' takes a leaf out of the American minimalist composers' book and is energetic and resourceful throughout, conjuring up images of a fairground ride that is not too much of an intrepid adventure! The central 'Cameo' presents and re-presents a delicate, highly legato, melisma for the soloist. A somewhat brooding central episode provides both a moment of contrast and the opportunity for the soloist to deliver some free cadenza-type material before returning to the security of the opening calm. The closing 'Charabanc' is a freely developed rondo-style finale embracing influences from jazz and other light music forms. Listeners are encouraged to use their own imagination, as it is intended to be whatever you want it to be!Performance time 15'15"This work was commissioned by and is dedicated to Linda Merrick and is featured on the recording QPRM137D LINDA MERRICK, Linda Merrick and the RNCM Wind Orchestra
