£53.95Olympia - Brian Balmages
This powerful fanfare captures the spirit of Olympia, the birthplace of the Olympic Games. The opening figure in the percussion is reminiscent of Aaron Copland and introduces the opening theme. As the theme seamlessly develops, the piece picks up tempo as snippets of the fanfare theme are interjected between lyrical statements in the woodwinds. Great (and flexible) percussion writing adds depth to the work. In addition to the regular part, an optional advanced snare drum part is included for accomplished percussionists. Bold sounds yet extremely playable!

£66.95On This Day Earth Shall Ring
The 14th-century carol, "Personent hodie," is both mysterious and powerful. ---a festive processional on the ancient melody arranged by Scott Watson---explores both aspects. Beginning quietly, the modal tune emerges over a chant drone with rustic, medieval percussion. Before long, the piece takes on the joyous character alluded to in the tune's most familiar English text setting, "On This Day Earth Shall Ring" (written by composer, Jane Joseph, a student of Gustav Holst). As the work draws to an ebullient close, all the stops are pulled with resounding brass and ringing metallic percussion! Whether used as a striking concert opener or a jubilant final selection, will add festive lan to your winter/holiday program! (3:28) This title is available in MakeMusic Cloud.

£48.95Cold Brook March - John O'Reilly
is perfect for your band's first Spring Concert. The ranges are comfortable for all instruments and the second clarinets never cross the break. Fun, syncopated rhythms provide a great deal of interest throughout. Short percussion solos introduce both the first strain and the second strain which is in the contrasting relative minor key. The break up strain pits the woodwinds against the brass with the percussion section holding it all together. (Correlates to , Book 1, Page 32) This title is available in MakeMusic Cloud.

£37.95The Woodwork Factory - Mekel Rogers

Easy rhythms layer together to create a complex web of percussion colors while wind players give wonderful stylistic and dynamic contrasts. A composition that sounds a lot more difficult than it is to play, this piece will leave a great impression on students and audiences alike.

£58.50Bells -- Carol of the Bells
is a based on the Ukrainian chant Shchedryk. This version of a holiday classic features both the winds in various roles and the percussion in an extended mallets trio section, where all the wind players rest and it is the percussionists time to shine. Lots of percussion colors are explored here with separate players each required to play bells, xylophone, and vibes. This is something a little different at Christmas time with a modern, rhythmically interesting version that is fun to play and listen to.

Searing and blistering musical lines merge with explosive percussion to make this one of the most sensational works for wind ensemble or concert band in concert band literature today. (12:06)
