£14.95Ticonderoga March - Leroy Anderson
Ticonderoga is the only work that Leroy Anderson composed exclusively for band, which is certainly odd given his beginnings as a bandmaster at Harvard. First sketched in 1939, the piece was scored and published in 1945. The first edition had no full score, a condensed score being not only faster but also the tradition of the time. This edition of the march changes none of Anderson's music or scoring but does provide for the first time a full score for the convenience of the conductor.

£58.50The Harvest Moon Soiree - Frank McKinney
At this soire music lovers have assembled to celebrate the harvest, play a few tunes, and enjoy a little dancing. Beginning with a lightly scored "hoedown" motif with woodwinds, the good-natured mood is interrupted by a thoughtful chorale, first stated by the brass. Contrasting consonance and dissonance are shared by each section until completed by the full ensemble. Eventually the "hoedown" theme returns with renewed energy, and the piece dances to a surprising finish.

£53.95Confrontations - Jack Bullock
Defined, "to oppose a challenge or standing in the way of opposition." In general usage it insinuates that this can likely be resolved and is not as serious as a "fight" or "war." In this music, the composer suggests that a confrontation could be described as a non-harmonic discord which is quickly changed to a pleasing resolution. Energetic percussion contributions enhance this bold new contemporary composition.

£73.50Variations on a Nautical Hymn
Based on the Naval Hymn, "Eternal Father, Strong to Save," this work opens with an aggressive fanfare which leads to the hymn, stated in a chorale fashion. The first variant is Allegro and features interplay between rhythmic figures in the percussion section with mirrored polychords in the woodwinds. The second variant is reminiscent of the music of Erik Satie and features a beautiful pairing of flute and oboe solos supported by strong countermelodies played by the horns. A third variant in 6/8 provides another interesting point of view before the work closes in Maestoso fashion. Another Mark Williams masterpiece!
