Tangle Wood Overture - Daisuke Shimizu
With this festive overture, which can also be played as a concert work, we introduce this young Japanese composer for the first time. He is already a real superstar in Japan, and with this piece, we get a little peek at why this is so. This piece is reminiscent of a flashy movie soundtrack with powerful and enthralling melodies and spectacular rhythmical sections. A very promising piece from a very promising composer.

Happy Bubbles - Koen Pletinckx
Happy Bubbles is a light playful piece in bright spirits, set to a swinging Dixieland style that unmistakably reminds you of the cheering times of the roaring Twenties. Happy Bubbles was composed in such a way to be playable for every ensemble, without sounding too simplistic or vulgar. It serves its purpose well if it comes to lightening up a concert, so your audience can "go back in time" and enjoy a performance in a well known catching traditional jazz style.

£67.95Aunt Rhodie's Diet - Joseph Compello
Aunt Rhodie's Diet is a sequel to the incredibly popular Aunt Rhodie's Appetite. Both arrangements are novel settings in which a beginning band can perform the standard folk songs found in the first few pages of most band methods. Because they are so easy to play, these arrangements by themselves would not make much of a concert, even for a beginning group. However, when used as incidental music to the story, the songs become sufficiently interesting to the audience, without taxing the capabilities of students who have only been playing for about 10 to 12 weeks.

£123.95Symphonic Overture - Charles Carter
Symphonic Overture is a contemporary-sounding overture of medium difficulty so scored that it can be performed with equal success by large and small groups alike. Employing the familiar three-part form (A-B-A), the opening section has a theme which is robust in character and with considerable rhythmic interest. The second theme, slow and expressive in character is a free form based on an opening idea introduced by the first flute. At the return of the first section, the first theme is treated as a fugue subject building to great heights as all four entrances are achieved. As the exposition concludes, the contrapuntal texture gives way to a homophonic quality which closes the piece.The coda, as is characteristic, utilizes material from the first theme.

This is a perfect change up piece during a concert that will have the audience tapping their toes.

The Magic Flute - Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Any list of Mozart's greatest works should include this overture. Loved by millions, Mozart's Magic Flute is remarkable for so many reasons and worthy of study by every musician! Why should we deny young band students the joy of playing Mozart just because they don't happen to use a bow on their instruments? Mozart belongs to Everyone! Skillfully brought to the concert band stage by an arranger who works with young bands daily, this somewhat shortened version of the enigmatic Overture is accessible to young bands, but retains a great deal of authenticity. There is added versatility built into this arrangement. A nice performance is possible by using a completeWoodwind section and a Timpanist only. Inspiring!>/I>

The Monument March - David W. Moore
A bright and colorful closer, THE MONUMENT MARCH gives each section of the band an important role to play. The 6/8 meter serves as a nice contrast if your concert is primarily duple-meter based. Nearly every imaginable 6/8 rhythm (without using 16th notes) is included somewhere in this piece, so bands that have had a LOT of experience at playing in 6/8 will enjoy rehearsals as they reinforce those important 6/8 reading skills.A skill-builder for advancing groups!

Suo-Gan - James Curnow
Lovely and delicate, this familiar Welsh lullaby is simple yet strong, in a beautifully scored setting. This is a familiar folksong that has stood the test of time, and deservedly so, and will deeply move your audience, and many will remember the tune as used in the movie "Empire Of The Sun." It's a wonderful choice for a tender moment in your program.
