£309.99Vulcan (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Daugherty, Michael
Vulcan for Concert Band is Grammy award winning composer Michael Daugherty's first work for the high school and intermediate level college band. The work is a colorful homage to Gene Roddenberry's interstellar universe as depicted in the classic American television series Star Trek (1966-69). The title refers to the fiery planet Vulcan, home world of half-human, half-Vulcan Mr. Spock. As the rational-minded science officer aboard the starship Enterprise (commanded by the hot-blooded Captain James T. Kirk), Mr. Spock grapples with the "fascinating" predicament of making decisions predicated on human emotion versus Vulcan logic. Daugherty has composed stirring, yet highly structured music that alludes to the Vulcan "Pon Farr" ritual, Vulcan telepathic mind-melds, and the volcanic planet itself. At the the Ann Arbor, Michigan world premiere (utilizing the combined forces of the Pioneer, Huron and Skyline High School bands), Vulcan was an immediate hit and will surely become one of Daugherty's most performed works.

£72.99Arrows (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Hazo, Samuel R.
This impressive work by Samuel Hazo begins and ends with a unifying dramatic and powerful fanfare theme. In contrast, the middle section is built around faster and modern-sounding rhythms and harmonies, while incorporating traditional melodies (including a hint of Bach's Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring) lending a unique and timeless quality to the music. Commissioned as a tribute from one band director to his predecessor, this is a rewarding and effective work for today's bands.Duration: 5:00

£60.99Of Gale Force Winds (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Saucedo, Richard L.
The turbulence and intensity of a major wind storm is effectively recreated in Richard Saucedo's Of Gale Force Winds. Based around rhythmic figures that create a wind-like effect, and combined with a playful melody, the piece alternates between 6/8 and 9/8 staying rhythmically dynamic throughout. A very brief moment of repose hints at the period of calm that comes in the middle or "eye" of bigger storms. The fury of the storm then returns with darker sonorities and increased energy as this descriptive work comes to an exciting conclusion.Duration: 4:00

£42.50Celtic Air and March (Songs of Irish Rebellion) (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Sweeney, Michael
Following in Michael's popular Celtic Air and Dance format, here are two contrasting melodies associated with centuries of Irish conflict and turmoil. The haunting ballad The Foggy Dew was composed shortly after the Easter Rising of 1916, and is followed by the inspirational march The Minstrel Boy from the Irish Rebellion of 1798.

£72.99Drums of the Saamis (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Hazo, Samuel R.
Drums of the Saamis was commissioned by the Medicine Hat Concert Band Society of Medicine Hat, Alberta, Canada. The piece chronicles the merger of the First Nation (first natives) and modern Albertan cultures. The opening tribal drums followed by the haunting melody simulating the traditional wooden flute comprise two themes that are the foundation for the entire piece. Both elements are developed, varied and enhanced throughout as the listener senses the increasing influence of modern day Alberta through the use of modern sounding chords and rhythms. By the end, the marriage of the old and the new is complete. This powerful work closes as it began; a restatement of themes representing the musical and historical foundation of the region.Duration: 5:00

£49.99Where Mountains Touch the Sky (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Buckley, Robert
With sensitive scoring and use of colours and textures, this descriptive piece sounds more advanced and sophisticated than its grade level would suggest. Where Mountains Touch the Sky is a tone poem inspired by springtime in the alpine meadows of British Columbia. While the lofty peaks are still covered with snow, the rivers are flowing and the meadows are coming alive with wildflowers. This lyrical work begins quietly and peacefully, building steadily to a soaring climax before returning to a soft and reverent conclusion.Duration: 3:00
