Laramie (Concert Band - Score and Parts)
Starting out with a slow expressive section, the tempo soon changes to an energetic and rhythmic allegro that contains those classic Swearingen themes which make young bands sound so alive. A warm slow section features a short trumpet solo or soli before opening up with a lush scoring for the entire group. Highly Recommended!

£71.95Con Brio - Ralph Ford
Scored in traditional, or standard march form, this original work has all the opportunities for varied performance that are found in Sousa's revered marches. The trio section features a melody from "The Maple Leaf Forever" and is quite appropriate since the march was commissioned and premiered by the Con Brio Festivals in British Columbia. This is a sparkling new original march in the style that is at the very root of the concert band art form. A brisk energizing choice! (3:00) This title is available in MakeMusic Cloud.

£150.00Fantasie Brillante - Jean Baptiste Arban / arr. Donald Hunsberger
Scored for trumpet soloist Wynton Marsalis, Donald Hunsberger's band accompaniment arrangement of in Jean-Baptiste Arban's collection of Fantasias and Variations possesses a breadth of musical styles that demand strict formal analysis in addition to interpretative and technical requirements. The opening section features a flowing melodic passage followed by a technical passage with a return to the style of the opening melody. The theme is then stated which leads into three variations that employ variants in triplet groupings, quadruple 16th-note groupings, and finally, the ever-present triple tonguing, once again a primary technical resource utilized in this and others of the Fantasias. Fantasie Brillante is one of eleven solos in the Marsalis/Hunsberger project. The recital version of all eleven trumpet solos with piano accompaniment is available in one book for soloist use in preparation or for recital performance (00-35429). Hunsberger's band accompaniments for all eleven solos are available from Alfred either for sale or as rental works. Recordings of all eleven tunes performed by Wynton Marsalis with band accompaniment (performed by the Eastman Wind Ensemble, conducted by Donald Hunsberger) remain available from Sony BMG Music Entertainment, on iTunes and a variety of other retail sources. A truly remarkable sparkling collection to feature your trumpet soloist.

£58.50Belle of the Ball for Band - Leroy Anderson
Like most of Leroy Anderson's efforts, "Belle of the Ball" is light, effervescent, and devoid of conflict or disharmony. Anderson looked upon the piece as a modern-day American revival -- or revitalization -- of the Viennese waltz tradition. Having said that, the main theme sounds rather unlike a Strauss waltz, but the voice of Tchaikovsky is evident in its playful, fantasy-like character. The melody is rhythmic and comes in short groups of notes, beginning with two notes, then three, then expanding further; the music skates along elegantly. The middle section features a delightful variation on the theme, in which Anderson's gentle belled sonorities impart a playful innocence. Versions for band and the original orchestral scoring are available.
