£189.99Godzilla Eats Las Vegas (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Whitacre, Eric
Note from Composer:It took me seven years to get my bachelor's degree from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. By the time I graduated I was ready to eat Las Vegas.Tom Leslie asked me to write another piece for the group as I was leaving, and I thought it would be a blast to do something completely ridiculous. The players are called upon to scream in terror, dress like Elvises (Elvi), and play in about thirty different styles from mambo to cheesy lounge music. The audience follows a script that I wrote simulating a campy, over the top Godzilla movie (is there any other kind?).I wrote the bulk of the piece while in my first year at Juilliard, and no kidding, I used to act out the script every morning devouring animal crackers, wreaking havoc all over the breakfast table. The script was originally twice as long, and had an entire subplot devoted to a young scientist and his love interest. As I started to finish the piece, however, it didn't seem that funny and that story (along with an extended Elvis tribute) ended up on the cutting room floor.The idea that this piece is being played all over the world in such serious concert venues is the single funniest thing I have ever heard. It has been played on the steps of the Capitol by the United States Marine Band, by the Scottish National Wind Symphony (they play in kilts, so help me God), and I have a video of a Japanese audience visibly confused and shaken by the whole experience. Can you imagine? I'm laughing my head off even as I write this!Godzilla Eats Las Vegas! was commissioned by the University of Nevada Las Vegas, Thomas G. Leslie, conductor, and received its premiere November 28th, 1996.The performers are encouraged to go crazy: wear showgirl costumes, Elvis costumes, act out scenes on stage, use video and lighting - anything to get a laugh.

£74.95Let It Be (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Brand, Michael
Let It Be was written and recorded towards the end of the Beatles successful times, by now the group were in disagreement and the original recording was not released to start with, as they wanted to link it to a film. It was eventually released in 1970 and has since become something of a pop anthem.

£49.95The Liberty Bell (Monty Python Theme) (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Johnson, Stuart
And now for something completely different... One of John Philip Sousa's most popular marches, the piece has perhaps achieved its most recent fame as the signature tune for the 'Monty Python' TV series. However, the march remains a fine piece in its own right and Johnson, Stuart's adaptation puts it into an easy key and is very fully scored. Sure to be effective in any concert.
