£57.50Shakespeare Meets Godzilla (The Good Bard and the Ugly) (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Buckley, Robert
This inventive and entertaining piece is a mash-up of two entirely different music styles - Renaissance music and classic horror music. Danger is afoot! Shakespeare, armed with only his quill, must stop an enormous creature from destroying his Globe Theatre. As in an epic film score, the music underpins and adds drama to the heroic tale. The effective orchestration and artful interplay between the two music styles gives this piece the colorful sound and intensity of a much more advanced piece.

£45.95Sneaking on the Housetops - Ryan Meeboer
provides ultimate flexibility for ensembles with incomplete instrumentation or odd combinations. These pieces are playable by as few as 5 woodwind, brass, or string players with or without percussion. This creates the opportunity for a mixed quintet to perform these titles but also allows for performance for 10-15 players up to full a band/orchestra with parts doubling. Great for music camps, contest use or any band room that has non-standard instrumentation. Have you ever wondered how Santa can get around everyone's house without making a sound? This arrangement of "Up on the Housetop" by Ryan Meeboer is a musical depiction of what it would sound like if Santa was caught sneaking around. Every instrument gets an opportunity to shine in this piece, either by playing the melody or getting short solis.

£45.95Stampede - Brian Balmages
This innovative work uses optional audience participation to create the sound of a massive stampede moving through the concert hall. Beginning with simple harmonies to depict life on the open range, a distant bass drum roll indicates the beginning of the stampede. Members of the band (and audience) soon join in as the music continues to build. An aleatoric section with temple blocks simulates the sounds of racing horse hooves. Incredibly exciting with a multitude of original sounds!

£60.50Broken Bow - Carl Strommen
The sound of the West as presented in countless film scores and concert pieces is captured in this homage to those who settled our early western frontiers. Enjoy the high energy pulse of an old fashioned 'Hoe-Down." Scored for younger players, will be effective in the hands of players of all ages. "Though it is not from any specific film, the music has all the fun characteristics of a cowboy/western movie. Carl Strommen has put together a piece with a wonderful energy which your students will love to play. The scoring is rather traditional, but everyone has a chance to be featured. It is also a fun way to work on multiple sixteenth-note rhythms, which are prevalent in the work." - This title is available in MakeMusic Cloud.

Inspired by the inner workings of a mechanical wristwatch, Caliber contrasts the steady rhythmic nature of watches with broad flowing melodies. Rute sticks are used to mimic the sound of a ticking watch. The entire work develops continuously as the music moves into a final series of explosive chords with an underlying pulse. Innovative and highly entertaining!

Experience the life of the 19th-century swashbuckler in this fantastic contest piece! The opening theme, The Pirate Life, recalls the lively dance music of pirates after a hard day. A beautiful and harmonically intricate lyrical section, Island Idyll, captures the peace and solitude of a beautiful sandy beach. What follows is the Wrath of Triton, a powerful storm that threatens the entire crew. Snapping beach towels simulate the sound of sails flapping in the wind during this dramatic voyage at sea. Very compelling!

£73.50The Typewriter - Leroy Anderson / arr. Floyd E. WerlĂ©
Leroy Anderson's music is always infectious and compelling. This wonderful flourish celebrates the clunky office machinery of yesteryear.

Your percussionists will love the challenge. This Floyd Werle arrangement is freshly engraved with a full score and brand new parts!
