£179.99Up in the Sky - Otto M. Schwarz
One of man's great dreams has always been to fly high through the air like a bird, free as a bird.There are ancient Greek legends such of those of Daedalus and Icarus, and indeed as early as the 9th century attempts at flight are reputed to have taken place in Arabia. It wasn't until 1783, however, that the invention of hot air ballooning by the Montgolfier brothers in France propelled man through the air for the first time.This colourful work depicts every step of this adventurous ballooning story.

£44.95Lightning Strike (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Wiffin, Rob
This march was commissioned by the Royal Air Force Halton Area Voluntary Band to mark their move to Air Command at RAF High Wycombe. The compositional approach to it is reasonably conventional with echoes of the rhythmic cells of the RAF March Past but balanced with some sections imbued with rhythmic energy. There is also a typically broad trio melody which seems to be the quintessential trademark of an RAF march.Duration: 3.30

£106.99The Way to Heaven (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Sparke, Philip
The Way to Heaven (Droga do Nieba) was commissioned by the Royal Air Force Music Services. 2015 was the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Britain, which took place between July and October 1940, when the courageous fighter pilots of the Royal Air Force thwarted Hitler's ambitions to launch an invasion on the UK. The Way to Heaven opens with fluttering woodwind figures and brass fanfares, which build to a climax before a change of key introduces a short quotation for the Polish National Anthem - Mazurek Dbrowskiego. This fades and you can hear the signal to scramble and the throaty sounds of the squadron's Merlin engines bursting into life before they line up to take off. This leads to the main thematic material of the work, which depicts the heaven-bound flight of 303 Squadron as it climbs to intercept the incoming Messerschmitt 109s. A brief allusion to the Polish national anthem brings the piece to a triumphant close.Duration: 4.30

£84.99Laguna di Grado (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - De Haan, Jacob
Picture yourself in the marvellous paradise of Italy's Grado Lagoon. The magnificent display of colour and the salty scent of sea air combine with the fragrant tamarisk to create a unique atmosphere. In this glorious haven time stands still - except for the flight of the seagulls and the slow flood tide. From a distance you hear an adagio coming through the air from a procession of boats. Its solemn tones dissipate into the landscape of the lagoon.Duration: 5:00

£52.95Fighting Falcon March (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Stalter, Todd
Fighting Falcon March was written for the Eureka Middle School 6th Grade Band from Eureka, Illinois. It is a simple yet tuneful and inspiring march that is ideally suited for young musicians learning to play in the march-style. In his youth, the composer was fascinated by aircraft of all kinds, and happened to live near an Air National Guard base that hosted a squadron if F-16 "Fighting Falcons." These nimble and sleek jets could regularly be seen flying over the area, and they never ailed to stir feelings of awe and patriotism as they knifed through the air. Duration: 1.30
