£65.00Pelican Dance
Quirky, fun, and not too serious, this dance-like composition was inspired by the composer noticing pelicans on his way to work! The opening motif played by the entire ensemble in the first measure is fundamental for the entire work. Stated in some form at the beginning of each musical section, it even appears as a bass line in the composition. Performed at one tempo throughout, this piece emphasizes essential dynamic contrasts and the various ways a theme can be developed in a composition. Percussion drives the energy of the composition, allowing your players to develop their skills on hand percussion. Enjoy the dance!

£95.00Fantasy on "O Come, O Come, Emmanuel"
This fresh interpretation of the Christmas standard will develop your player's expressive and technical abilities while still engaging and delighting audiences.

Beginning with a chorale statement of the original hymn, the ensemble soon encounters an expanded percussion section, changing time and key signatures, unique rhythmic patterns and various musical styles, while individual players are challenged with syncopation and dynamic demands. A truly inspiring and rewarding composition for holiday concerts, contest or festival.

£49.00Lonely Travelers
Layering two songs which speak to the idea of searching for something beyond your current situation, this is an excellent piece for teaching an ensemble to blend so they can hear each other and not be individually heard. Using 900 Miles and The Wayfaring Stranger for compositional material, thematic elements from both are interwoven into the overall musical fabric. 900 Miles' lonely railroad worker is heard in woodwind train whistle effects and the homesickness of The Wayfaring Stranger, as heard in the movie "1917", is effectively portrayed by a moving treatment using long tones with a continuing rhythmic accompaniment. A strong concert, contest or festival choice, this work offers cross-curricular opportunities as well.

£46.00Angel Echoes
As the title implies, Angel Echoes uses a lot of echo effects throughout, and is based on the interval of a descending perfect fifth. The piece begins with a lush statement of the subtle "angel" theme, which is used throughout the piece and ultimately as the climactic material later in the work. With teachable material steeped in musicality, this remarkable work for developing ensembles will not disappoint.
