£70.00WARM-UP FUNDAMENTALS FOR CONCERT BAND - Balmages & Gausline
Warm-up Fundamentals was conceived as a tool for directors to use as part of a daily ensemble routine. It covers important fundamental concepts such as breathing, long tones, interval slurs, articulation, flexibility, chords and chorales. Each section breaks concepts down to their most fundamental elements before integrating them together. This gradual approach to the ensemble warm-up helps extend the practical applications of these exercises well into rehearsals and performances. Each instrument part fits on one folded piece of paper, so it's extremely practical in size and can easily fit inside a folder without issue. These warm-ups are also ideal for guest conducting appearances such as honor bands, where conductors need to achieve a uniform sound in a short amount of time. Topics include: Breathing - Build breath support and lung capacity; Long Tones - Approached with phrasing in mind; Interval Slurs -- Both descending and ascending; Articulation - Designed to promote air flow in addition to clarity and speed; Flexibility - Octave studies for woodwinds and lip slurs for brass; Chorales - Progressive chorales that begin with small interval movement and short phrases to allow focus on sound and intonation; Balance - Focus on section, instrument family and full ensemble; Phrasing - All exercises are designed with ensemble phrasing in mind; Efficient - No big part books! Individual parts easily fit into folders and allow for quick navigation to save rehearsal time; Practical - Ideal for guest conducting appearances; Introductory Text - Discusses each section in detail and provides suggestions

The Ringing Isle - Jonathan Dove
Handel called Britain 'the ringing isle' because when he moved to London, he heard bells ringing everywhere: great bells in church towers, and handbells in some of the first private houses he visited. The sound of people 'ringing the changes' is a peculiarly British sound of celebration, and it seems a good starting point for a piece celebrating British musical life. Within The Ringing Isle, Dove incorporates some traditional change-ringing patterns, from 'Grandsire Doubles', 'Oxford Treble Bob Minor' and his own version of 'Plain Bob Major'. Handel's phrase also conjures up an image of a magical island, and so this is how Dove envisaged how it must have been to approach Britain from an ocean voyage.

£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.
