£53.95Majesty in Motion - David Marlatt
is a noble and stately piece with contemporary harmonies throughout. Range for all players is limited to an octave and most rhythms line up well for developing players so they can work on blend and balance as well as precise rhythmic playing. A grand and accented opening is contrasted by a smooth middle section before the accents return to bring David Marlatt's work to a bold conclusion---truly majesty in motion. (1:30)

£58.50The Frog and the Crow - Jeff Smallman / arr. David Marlatt
This is a fun and light change of pace in a concert. The Frog and the Crow was originally a choral piece that was so popular, a band version was demanded. It is sub-titled "A Riverside Hoe-Down" and there are interesting parts for all. This tune is fun for both players and audiences.

£66.95Fanfare and Salutation - Roger Cichy
A wonderful work for a concert opener or closer. The form of the work is a fanfare followed by a rhapsody. After the main theme is established in the opening fanfare, the mood becomes quite calm while the second and third themes are announced in the lower voices. The exciting conclusion uses all three themes in counterpoint, illustrating why Mr. Cichy is becoming so popular today.

£60.50By THAT Much - Jeff Smallman
In the tradition exemplified by Mozart in his "Musical Jokes", Jeff Smallman has written a work for band that should bring a smile to every face. As all conductors know, not every player in a band learns at the same speed and, therefore, mistakes are bound to happen. For your enjoyment, By THAT Much has already provided a plethora of typical (and not so typical) mistakes for players of every age to make.

£50.50Calypso la Rondo - Elliot Del Borgo
The simple melody and harmony creates a background for your percussionists to show off on a variety of instruments. What makes this piece so unique is that the wind parts are involved, serving a more important role than accompaniment. A great way to feature percussion while providing plenty of teaching opportunities for the winds as well.

£37.95Jolly Alto Saxophones
A large crate arrived at the Claus residence shortly after Christmas with a note attached: "Dear St. Nick, the kids in my school band have been worried about what you and your elves will do now that the holidays are over. So we took up a collection and bought you a bunch of alto saxophones..." Based on Jolly Old Saint Nicholas, this swingin' alto sax feature includes some novelty percussion sounds to exaggerate the work's humorous nature. Great writing with a fun storyline, perfect for a student to read aloud just before the performance!

£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.

£57.00Christmas Variations
"We Wish You a Merry Christmas" never had it so good as it does in this cleverly put together set of contrasting variations. From the broad, moderate opening through the warm and reflective central Andante, to the tongue-in-cheek "Tempo de Beguine," Mr. Balent has created several delightfully fresh versions of a familiar carol. Duration: 4' Keys: F, F Minor Ranges: Trumpet - A; Horn - E; Trombone - F

£127.30Mitt hjerte er ditt - Geir Holmsen
"Mitt hjerte er ditt" ("My Heart is Yours") is primarily known with this Norwegian lyrics and melody from Maj Britt Andersen's recording of the song, first released in 1992. Andersen's husband, Geir Holmsen, composed the new music for this recording, a version that has since been performed by numerous other artists, including Anna of the North on "Hver gang vi mtes" in 2022.The lyrics are Alf Prysen's Norwegian translation of Nils Ferlin's Swedish text, originally written to a Swedish folk tune.This is an arrangement written for a vocal soloist and wind orchestra, but it can also be played with instrumental soloists or purely instrumentally. The song has only two verses, so the middle section of this arrangement is an orchestral verse where the melody begins in the lower instruments.

£139.00Himlen i min famn - Carola Häggkvist
"Heaven in My Arms" is a beautiful melody by Carola Hggkvist with lyrics by Erik Hillestad.This version is without vocal soloist so the melody is spread into many parts throughout the arrangement.(There are cue notes for oboe and bassoon, where they have soloistic elements.)To the conductor:Strive for good flow and phrasing. Feel free to be a bit creative with the phrasing. It invites for two-bar phrases in the melody, but perhaps 2/2/4 could also work nicely.Balance is very important. Often there is both melody and obligato/countermelody in addition to harmonic elements. Let each of them have their own layer in the balance.Staccato effects in clarinets and marimba are intended as pizzicato effects and must be phrased. Not too static.The tutti section at 72 can be energetic with intense lines. Maybe a little pi mosso as well. Think big and orchestral with good resonance and timbre.- Reid Gilje -
