£78.99A Jubilant Overture - Alfred Reed
Alfred Reed's fantastic concert opener has long been a mainstay of our catalog. Matt Conaway has created an edition that maintains all the tasty harmonic writing, all while paring down enough of the difficulty to make it accessible to a much wider range of skill levels.

£65.99Two Bagatelles - Alfred Reed
Alfred Reed's "Two Bagatelles" was first published as a trombone quartet, then enlarged to a brass choir and finally to a full concert band setting. Andy Clark has taken it back to its beginnings and adapted it for the Barnhouse Build-A-Band Series, so that students in very small bands will get a chance to perform music by this master composer. Sounds great if the four basic parts are covered among the instruments present.
