£61.95Two Movements from William Byrd Suite - Gordon Jacob / arr. Douglas E. Wagner
Of all of Gordon Jacob's major contributions to the British wind band repertoire, the (written in 1923) stands as his most-often programmed work. Though originally based on six movements from William Byrd's , this setting for developing band incorporates two contrasting movements including "The Earle of Oxford's Marche" and "Wolsey's Wilde." Like Jacob's wind band work, the music is not a mere transcription from the original keyboard collection, but rather stylized with his own inventive musical spirit for modern concert band. A wealth of material here that opens doors to teachable moments as musical textures---dynamic contrasts, articulations, scoring options---are continually changing. Bravo!

£62.95Feller from Fortune - Bill Thomas
provides ultimate flexibility for ensembles with incomplete instrumentation or odd combinations. These pieces are playable by as few as 5 woodwind, brass, or string players with or without percussion. This creates the opportunity for a mixed quintet to perform these titles but also allows for performance for 10-15 players up to full a band/orchestra with parts doubling. Great for music camps, contest use or any band room that has non-standard instrumentation. Based on the Newfoundland folk song , this piece by Bill Thomas has been transformed from the original jig to become an energetic overture featuring a number of solo opportunities, interesting percussion parts, and some simple mixed meter work.
