£82.95Couchiching Suite - John Herberman
was written as a commission from the National Music Camp of Canada, which runs each year on the shores of beautiful Lake Couchiching, north of Toronto, Canada. The goal in composing this piece was to give the top students at the camp a challenging and original piece to play. The first movement is a march in 5/4 that derives its pulse from the melodic shapes, rather than set groupings of beats. The middle movement is a slow homophonic song with rich harmonies and thick chordal textures requiring good listening and tuning skills. The third movement is a burner in mixed meters featuring solo alto saxophone and a soaring soli for the French horns. This is a great concert suite to showcase the achievements and abilities of a senior ensemble.

£53.95Windscape - David Marlatt
is in four sections. It opens with "The Winds from the North." The driving bass line combined with the punctuated shots, represent the bitter winds that blow. This moves into "The Winds of Change." This has a shifty but steady pulse that features melody in the trumpet at first and then a countermelody added by the flutes and saxophones. Crystal glasses and a lone alto saxophone are the featured sonorities in "The Winds of Mystery." "The Winds of Change" reappears and, with several sidebar introductions of new rhythmic and melodic material, the piece ends as it should---driving and enthusiastic.

This is solo for either flugelhorn or alto saxophone. Spirituals have found their way into the standard repertoire of vocalists and instrumentalists. The lyrical tunes combined with the powerful message they tell affect us all. In this arrangement, all parts are interesting and the jazz harmonies add a really great color to this famous tune.

£53.95Bolero - David Marlatt
As the title suggests, this piece is Spanish in style. After opening with a short fanfare, the melody is then passed equally between two solo clarinets (alto saxophone parts also provided) with the other voices adding rhythmic chords and countermelodies. Fun and energetic, this is a great piece to add some international color to a concert or special event.
