£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.

£121.00Metro Dances - Travis J. Weller
Driving in Pittsburgh involves a fair amount of vehicular "dancing" in that theres rarely a direct route to get where you want to go. Metro Dances is a work in five sections about this driving experience. Hit the Gas! starts with a full cup of coffee and just a little less time than normal to reach our destination. Traffic "Jam" abruptly comes out of nowhere in true Pittsburgh fashion. Big Trucks appear, appropriately represented with important material for the lower winds. Next is Rush Hour, which features an optional open section with suggested solos for trumpet and alto sax. Finally, Breaking Free culminates with a brisk finish as traffic opens up and there's smooth sailing on a free and open highway.

£149.40Bestefarvise - Øystein Dolmen
"My Fantastic Gramps" is a bubbly piece about an old man.The style of playing must be fresh and youthful throughout the piece.Watch the balance in bar 12. 1st flute (piccolo) and 1st alto sax should be prominent in the balance.At bar 28 and equivalent bars, the flutes and clarinets(!) should be playing vibrato.Please make sure that trumpets play the articulation (short) excessively at bar 70 (banjo-style). Feel free for some slapstick-mood at bar 86. Be creative!The style at bar 115 must be outgoing and happy, with a lot of joyfulness!

In Quest Of Uluru - James Swearingen
The slow introduction splits the melody between the clarinets, alto sax, and flute. This builds into a full band statement scored in a very lush manner. A faster section moves between 4/4 and 2/4, creating a pulse that captivatesthe listener. The repetitive rhythms and solid scoring of James Swearingen make this an ideal festival or contest piece.

£49.99Swingin' at the Riverside - Stephen Bulla
Feature anywhere from one Saxophone up to the entire Sax section in Stephen Bulla's jazzy new arrangement titled Swingin' at the Riverside. The quick, rhythmic swing-style music is catchy to say the least! It's the perfect opportunity to "lighten up" during the next concert performance. In addition, it's a good piece to program just before or after that large work that's taxing for the Brass players. It's lots of fun for Brasses to play but gives them plenty of short rests throughout so they can refresh their chops. Now's the time to let the Saxes shine!Light-hearted and fun!
