£48.95Cruise Control - Steve Hodges
A cool swing groove on the ride cymbal opens this jazzy piece for first year band students. With the low brass and woodwinds providing a driving walking bass line, the trumpets, saxes, and upper woodwinds trade the melody effectively throughout the piece. Solid scoring and a strong rhythmic foundation allow the band to really lay back and put themselves into the "cruise control" setting! This is a great learning tool introducing elements of the swing and jazz genres to the young band.

£50.50Siyahamba
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. This is a traditional South African folksong that has been adapted and arranged for concert band. The authentic rhythmic backgrounds performed on a variety of percussion instruments add color and interest. (2:40)

£37.95Tidings of Comfort and Joy
This arrangement of starts off in a moderate 4/4 tempo featuring a solo trumpet on the opening melody. The orchestration progressively thickens and then the piece moves into a lively 3/4 tempo, where the low brass and woodwinds are featured under an ostinato in the upper voices. Very reasonable in both rhythm and register, this is a great addition to any holiday concert. (2:10)

£37.95Three Meditations - Erik Morales
Abstract, musical, thought provoking - these all describe this innovative one-movement work by Erik Morales. Staggered entrances in the brass set the stage for the main theme, and the use of minor chords gives the work the sound of a fantasy film score. This is an excellent way to teach concepts of texture, tension, and release, while engaging your students with some extremely creative writing.

£154.99Dynamica (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Van der Roost, Jan
As the title suggests, this is a fiery and energetic, dynamic overture. Jan Van der Roost was commissioned to write the piece by the Japanese 'Band of the NEC-Tamagawa Plant' on the occasion of its 40th anniversary. From the first measure, the brass section sets the scene with rhythmical motives. Gradually we hear melodic and playful themes, often supported by (poly)rhythmic figures. A fermate in the trombone section prepares the way for the final theme, which virtuosically leads into a reprise of the first fanfare. The dynamic circle closes!Duration: 6:45
