£72.99The Hounds of Spring (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Reed, Alfred - Longfield, Robert
Alfred Reed (1921-2005) was one of America's most prolific and frequently performed composers. The Hounds of Spring was composed in 1980 and was inspired by the poem Atalanta in Calydon by Algernon Charles Swinburne. In this concert overture, Reed captures the elements of youthful exuberance and tenderness of love expressed in the poem. Remaining true in form and intent to the original, Robert Longfield has masterfully shortened and adapted this work for younger bands.Duration: 5:30

£89.99Cambrian Explosion (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Saucedo, Richard L.
The Cambrian period of our planet's geological history (roughly 500 million years ago) saw an explosion of plant and animal diversity evolving into many of the complex life forms familiar today. Richard Saucedo gives us an "explosion" of musical forms and surprises in this fast-paced and powerful work for mature bands. A recurring mallet and timpani pattern provides unity amidst a diverse musical palette that ranges from jazzy to celebratory. The sudden appearance of the familiar hymn "For the Beauty of the Earth" is both stunning and dramatic as it ties the entire work together. Wonderfully creative!Duration: 3:10

£102.99Colors of Time (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Deleruyelle, Thierry
Gazing into life is like gazing at the colours of passing time. Sometimes cool and mysterious, sometimes opalescent, warm or luminous, the colours of time, like life itself, are ever-changing. When colour materialises, it becomes music. With delicate and powerful moods, brilliant and intimate textures, and joyful and nostalgic sounds, music seeps into our memory like stories drawn from many individual real-life experiences.Duration: 4:45

£48.95Glen Crossing (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Stalter, Todd
This delightful piece is the perfect opener for developing bands. Of the piece, the composer writes, "My dog loves to take walk with our son, and she is always very excited to experience anything and everything on their journeys together. Glen Crossing contains melodies that revealed themselves to me on my walks with Hershey, and hopefully it portrays the fun and joy that 'Hershey and her boy' have every day, rollicking through the neighbourhood."Duration: 2.00

£70.50Phenom (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Gassi, Vince
Floating harmonies and angular melodic curves set the stage in the opening measures of this imaginative new work for band. The main theme then bursts in with a powerful call and response statement, developing and transforming and gradually working its way to a lyrical section painted with vibrant textures and colours. The intensity of the main theme cannot be held at bay for long, however, as it rematerialises and transports this work to a dramatic conclusion.Duration: 4.45

£56.50Mother Goose Suite (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Ravel, Maurice - Turner, Jeffrey E.
Ravel wrote the Mother Goose Suite for two children who were very special to him. His fascination with the wonder and imagination of childhood are evident in this piece. This arrangement will take your young band on a journey through the enchanted world of fairy tales - from the reflective Sleeping Beauty Pavane, to the playful Tom Thumb, the exotic Empress of the Pagoda, through the courtship of Beauty and the Beast, and concluding where all fairy tales must, with a happily-ever-after ending in The Fairy Garden. This piece is an excellent vehicle for featuring your soloists, and the well- rafted orchestration will showcase the wealth of sound and colours in any band. Being generously cued, even smaller bands will be able to enjoy Ravel's music. Mother Goose Suite is sure to delight the child in all of us.Duration: 5.15

£48.95Cruise Control (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Hodges, Steve
A cool swing groove on the ride cymbal opens this jazzy piece. With the low brass and woodwinds providing a driving walking bass line, the trumpets, saxes, and upper woodwinds trade the melody effectively throughout the piece. Solid scoring and a strong rhythmic foundation allow the band to really lay back and put themselves into the "cruise control" setting! This is a great learning tool introducing elements of the swing and jazz genres to the young band.Duration: 2.00
