£76.95A Tribute to Gershwin - George Gershwin / arr. Jack Bullock
There's not a composer recognized or performed in the classic pop genre more than Gershwin. In his tribute, Jack Bullock acknowledges this musical genius with eleven charming, yet distinctive, melodies that are all Gershwin. The fast-paced medley opens with "I Got Rhythm" and, in quick succession, threads through ten more tunes closing with the immortal "Rhapsody in Blue." I'll bet you find one or two that you didn't realize were Gershwin melodies! This one's a real champion. (6:51) This title is available in MakeMusic Cloud.

£66.95Moorside March - Gustav Holst / arr. Douglas E. Wagner
was written in 1928 as a test piece for the National Brass Band Festival championship competition held that year. The three-movement work includes a jaunty "Scherzo," a lovely "Nocturne," and the popular "March," which has enjoyed countless performances since its premiere. Douglas E. Wagner created this arrangement with younger players in mind. Though slightly abridged, the main themes and styles are present in a carefully-crafted performance piece accessible to concert bands at this level. This authentic arrangement still bears Holst's unmistakable musical signature. (3:35)

£62.95Apparitions - Brian Balmages
This serious lyrical work paints a picture of lonely apparitions that constantly appear and then fade away. Designed as an excellent introduction to expressive playing with more complex harmonies, all ranges are intentionally conservative, allowing students to explore the musical depth and various contemporary textures. Unique percussion effects include placing a cymbal upside down on a timpani and bowing it while fluttering the pedal, creating a supernatural effect toward the end of the work. Suspenseful and innovative.
