The parts are decorated with recognisable illustrations of different animals. In each composition, Wittrock adds something that can fascinate both musicians and listeners. Can you hear it?

Composed in two stylistically contrasting sections, here is a unique and dynamic work that is definitely something out of the ordinary.

Your students will love the dramatic effects and musical depth of this exciting work. Dur: 4:30

£42.50Illusions - Michael Oare
An illusion can be defined as something that seems different than it really is. In this unique piece for very young players, Michael Oare uses shifting tonal centers to intentionally deceive the listener in order to create amusical illusion. It provides an opportunity for careful use of notes from the chromatic scale in a striking and fun setting! Dur: 1:55

Goldene Kameraden - James Barnes
"Goldene Kameraden" was commissioned to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Musikverlag RUNDEL. The title of the piece is a combination of the golden anniversary of the company and all my friends who work there - but it is also a humorous pun on one of my favorite German marches: "Alte Kameraden". Although marches are rather out of favor in the U.S. these days - unless they are by John Philip Sousa - I love to write them. And so I was happy to have the opportunity to compose this for Thomas Rundel, his family and the team at Musikverlag RUNDEL. The strict form of marches and the necessary march-like clichs required may seem restricting to other composers, but I perceive this as a musical challenge. It is like completing a crossword puzzle: one must go by all the traditional rules" but still produce something creative.

£67.95Convergence - Amy Webb
Convergence means "coming together," which is something your band will do very well as they learn to play this song. The composition opens in a chorale style, quickly moving to a faster tempo and returning to the chorale. The 1st trumpet's highest note is B-flat and no clarinets cross the break.

£154.60Norge i rdt, hvitt og bltt - Lars-Erik Larsson
Norge i rdt, hvitt og bltt ("Norway in Red, White and Blue") was commissioned by the Oslo Fagott Choir (yes, that is indeed a gay men's choir) for a concert with The Staff Band of the Armed Forces in 2015. I was given artistic licence to write a more modern and somewhat 'eclectic' arrangement for this originally Swedish melody written by Lars-Erik Larsson, which became something of a national liberation anthem when Nazi occupation ended in May 1945 - then with new lyrics by Finn B, Bias Bernhoft and Arild Feldborg.After the premiere in Oslo, and a music video with Oslo Fagott Choir and The Staff Band, broadcasted by Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation (NRK) on Constitution Day during coronavirus lockdown in 2020, I was approached by many to write an instrumental version of the arrangement for concert band. This version is now available through Norsk Noteservice.- Petter S. Kragstad -

£204.00Fanfares and Fantasies - Stig Nordhagen
"Fanfares and Fantasies" was commissioned by Strindheim Janitsjar for their 40th Anniversary in 2019. The commission was supported by The Composers' Remuneration Fund.With the title "Fanfares and Fantasies", I try to accommodate both the extroverted (represented by fanfares and celebration), with the quiet and introverted in the small interludes I call fantasies.The solitary flute in the fantasies symbolizes something that is very far from brass fanfares, but still, I believe that by this, both the band and the music emerge with even greater depth. And by this span, the music's ability to accommodate all nuances emerges.- Stig Nordhagen
