£59.99Pilgrim Traveler (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Broege, Timothy
Skilfully combining four distinctive melodies from the early American shape-note hymnal The Sacred Harp, Timothy Broege has created a wonderful single movement setting for band that includes many moods and styles. Pilgrim and Traveler form the principal themes of the piece and undergo a series of variations. Aylesbury and Jerrerson are used as transitional melodies and are combined with the other two as the music becomes increasingly complex and contrapuntal. The the words of the composer, 'the music may be heard to portray a journey, perhaps a spiritual quest undertaken by a travelling pilgrim seeking solace or enlightenment.' From tender and serene to bold and stark, this inventive work makes an impressive statement.Duration: 5:45

£137.99Fra Diavolo Wind Band Set (Score & Parts)
The French composer Daniel Fran?ois Esprit Auber (1782-1871) witnessed many important developments in the history of music ? from Luigi Cherubini to Richard Wagner. His extensive output consisted mainly of operas, but unfortunately today only two of these are still well known, including the comic opera Fra Diavolo. The story concerns Fra Diavolo, a famous Italian bandit and soldier from the late 18th and early 19th centuries, and is one of crime, lust and treachery. The overture has a classical structure and is filled with striking themes and motifs and has a particularly unusual introduction (for the time) with the snare drum taking the leading role! 0:08:22
