£60.99Kinesis (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Sweeney, Michael
Drawing its title from the Greek word for motion, this marvellously paced work from Michael Sweeney explores various forms of motion within the concert band setting. The fanfare-like opening uses interplay between the brass, percussion and woodwinds and is followed by a driving main theme. The slow motion middle section uses a striking harmonic scheme stated first by the woodwinds and some unusual orchestration devices, before returning to an expanded version of the main theme and dramatic ending. This rewarding and fresh-sounding composition will leave a lasting impression on players and listeners alike.Duration: 5:50

£39.50With Fire and Sword (from 'For England, Harry and St. George') (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Gorb, Adam
The little pieces that form 'For England, Harry and St. George' may be played individually, in pairs, scattered through a programme or, when given complete, may even be played in a different order. All take their inspiration from the music of mediaeval and renaissance Britain, the scene of political intrigue, social turmoil and military strife. Performers should keep in mind the combination of vigour, mysticism and grandeur which so characterised English music of this bygone age. AB grade 2 - 2.5Duration:01:30

£110.99Pastime with Good Company (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Sparke, Philip
The English king, Henry VIII (1491-1547), is mainly remembered for disposing of his wives on a regular basis and breaking with the Catholic Church when the Pope Clement VII refused to grant him a divorce so he could marry Anne Boleyn. As a young man he was a gifted athlete, dancer and composer, writing many songs, poems and consort pieces (though not Greensleeves, as is often believed). Pastime with Good Company is undoubtedly the best-known of these, written in the first years of the 16th century while he was still a handsome prince, newly married to Catherine of Aragon and the envy of Europe. The lyrics tell of the joys of hunting, dancing and singing and would have been sung as part of the court entertainment.This arrangement features a quartet of soloists and two solo drummers.Duration: 6:00

£256.99Clarinet Concerto (Clarinet Solo with Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Sparke, Philip
Clarinet soloist Linda Merrick is a long-time friend of the composer Philip Sparke and is married to fellow composer, Martin Ellerby. As part of a dynamic and forward-looking PhD thesis on works for clarinet and concert band, Linda has researched the existing repertoire in addition to commissioning several new concerti from leading British composers, including Martin Ellerby and Nigel Clarke.The original concept was for a suite of short movements, each with its own character, but by the time the first movement was complete, it was clear that a conventional three-movement format was going to work out better.The opening movement contains much syncopation and is almost rag-like in style. The slower second movement explores initially the chalumeau register of the clarinet in a theme that is later taken up by the band whilst the soloist weaves a filigree descant. This leads straight into the third movement, which is almost bee-bop in style and shows off the jazzier side of the clarinet.Duration: 14.00

£149.99Out of the Darkness, into the Light (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Sparke, Philip
Out of the Darkness, Into the Light is about optimism. All of us experience disappointments in our lives, such failed relationships or the loss of loved ones, but the indomitably of the human spirit allows us to overcome such set backs and get through the darker moments. For some, faith and religion may be the answer, but this piece is more about the internal strength that we can all call upon.Opening in sombre mood, the first phase of the work symbolises the doubts we all have about ourselves and our lives. The opening phrase on solo clarinet appears throughout the piece and could be seen as the central idea of the work, the human spirit itself. The faster, central section is about the struggle to overcome the pain we experience and at bar 88 the moment of catharsis occurs. This signals a change of mood and from then on, the clarinet motif is transformed into a feeling of joy and optimism. We have entered the light.Duration: 8:30

£60.99Dialogues (for Winds and Percussion) (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Sweeney, Michael
Here is a unique and striking work using contemporary percussion techniques, unmeasured sections, and dramatic musical effects. Strong brass fanfares, woodwind flourishes and short canonic statements lead to an uptempo rhythmic ostinato that builds steadily by layering rhythms and melodies. A brief slower section features solos for horn and flute before returning to the fast tempo and exuberant finish. Duration: 6:30
