£82.95African Dreams (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Karrick, Brant
William Kamkwamba was raised in Malawi, an African country where magical thoughts prevailed but modern technology was a mystery. From books he read, young William imagined building a windmill that might, one day, bring electricity and water to his village and drastically change the lives of his neighbors. Hoping to someday study science, his country was debilitated by famine that forced William to drop out of school and forage for food as thousands throughout the country died of starvation. However, William's passion remained indefatigable and, using scrap metal, tractor parts, and bicycle halves, he ingeniously built a crude yet operable windmill that powered four lights and his radio. News of William's achievement soon spread beyond his country's borders, and the young boy who was once thought of as crazy became a hero to many around the world. Duration: 6.00

£70.50Dillon's Flight (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Ford, Ralph
Dillon's Flight was inspired by the legend of the Phoenix, a bird of fire that does not lay eggs, has no younglings, was here at the beginning of time, and yet still lives today in a hidden desert land. Every 500 years, the sun burns down on the Phoenix until a flash of light appears and it becomes consumed by the flames of fire. From the pile of silvery-grey ash rises up a young Phoenix. The young Phoenix then takes flight and sings its glorious song to the sun for another five hundred years. Dedicated to the Dillon School in Phoenix, New York, this musical depiction is jam-packed with energy.Duration: 5.00

£59.95Young Wizards (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Fraser, Bruce
This three movement suite was inspired by the composer's reading of Harry Potter and The Philosopher's Stone. The work is based on a tone row taken from the musical letters contained within the title. "Black Pointed Hats" in D minor sets the scene, with the bass instruments playing an accented form of the tone row. Note clusters and chromatic movement help to create the mysterious sound palette for listeners to let their imagination run riot. The contrary motion in the upper woodwinds at the beginning of "Spells" gives a mesmerizing effect. The third movement, "Flying Broomsticks," evokes the image of young wizards flying around, using chromatic runs and various accented sections where the flying is not so smooth. Both themes used in this movement combine to form a grand flypast!
