£90.00It was a Lover and his Lass (from Birthday Madrigals) (Concert Band with Optional Choir - Score and Parts) - Rutter, John - Noble, Paul
Birthday Madrigals was written in 1995 to celebrate the seventy-fifth birthday of the great jazz pianist, George Shearing. This arrangement is written for combined band and choir, but may be performed by band alone. In honour of George Shearing's noted style, a vibes part has been added to this arrangement, as well as an optional piano part. The original setting was a suite of five movements. The arranger has chosen three of the movements, numbers 1, 3 and 5, because of their similarity in style. This is a special opportunity for Concert Bands, or combined Concert Bands and Choirs, to perform in a true jazz medium, featuring a set drummer and string bass along with the full band.

£295.00Major Barbara (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Walton, William - Noble, Paul
Major Barbara is social satire in three acts by George Bernard Shaw, performed in 1905 and published in 1907, in which Shaw mocked religious hypocrisy and the complicity of society in its own ills. Barbara Undershaft, a Major in The Salvation Army, is estranged from her wealthy father, Andrew Undershaft, a munitions manufacturer. Although The Salvation Army condemns war, it gladly accepts a large donation from her warmonger father, and she resigns in protest. The Army offers the poor only salvation, while Undershaft takes steps toward eradicating poverty. Barbara later comes to accept her father's views on capitalism and to believe that the greatest evil is the degradation caused by grinding poverty. Major Barbara was filmed in London during The Blitz bombing of 1940. During air raids, the crew and cast repeatedly had to dodge into bomb shelters. The film's producer-director, Pascal, never stopped the production and the film was completed on schedule. William Walton composed the film score, which was later arranged as a concert piece for orchestra by Christopher Palmer, from which this arrangement for Concert/Wind Band has been made.

£75.00Mary's Lullaby (Concert Band with Optional Choir - Score and Parts) - Rutter, John - Noble, Paul
John Rutter endeavored over many Christmases to reinvigorate the genre of the Christmas carol, not necessarily by replacing traditional images and tunes with new creations, but by retranslating them in his own creative manner. His 1979 setting of an original composition, Mary's Lullaby, restates the images of manger, angels, shepherds, and wise men. This arrangement for combined Concert Band and Chorus brings this music to a new and wider audience. The beauty of the music itself can be experienced without words or chorus with the option of performing this by Concert Band alone.

£75.00O God, Our Help in Ages Past (Concert Band with Optional Choir - Score and Parts) - Rutter, John - Noble, Paul
Considered one of the finest paraphrases written by Isaac Watts, O God, Our Help in Ages Past expresses a strong note of assurance, promise, and hope as recorded in the first part of Psalm 90. This Festive fanfare and hymn arrangement by John Rutter, adapted by Paul Noble, makes a powerful piece for combined Concert/Wind Band and Chorus, one that is a very accessible and a worthy addition to the repertoire of the Concert Band.

£75.00Rejoice, the Lord is King (Concert Band with Optional Choir - Score and Parts) - Rutter, John - Noble, Paul
This festival hymn begins with a bold introduction and includes four verses, with trumpet obbligato, soaring descant, and a concluding fanfare, bringing the hymn to a rousing climactic ending. The piece is written for combined Concert Band and Chorus, but may be performed by Band alone. The arrangement, without the concluding fanfare, is very easy and accessible. If necessary, the concluding fanfare may be omitted.

£100.00Sanctus and Benedictus (from Mass of the Children) (Concert Band with Optional Choir - Score and Parts) - Rutter, John - Noble, Paul
Mass of the Children represents something new in the composer's work insofar as it was conceived with an integral role for a children's choir alongside an adult mixed choir, two soloists, and orchestra (now band). The role of the children's choir is to add a further dimension to the traditional Latin Mass sung by the adult choir, sometimes commenting, sometimes amplifying the meaning and mood. His musical understanding, sense of melody, harmony and orchestration are oftentimes fully capable of telling the story even without the text. In the setting for band alone, the children's choir part is generally set for solo trumpet.

£44.95Summer Afternoon (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Wiffin, Rob
A cheerful piece full of rhythmic vitality; I wrote this shortly after completing Acentos Oscuras and it is the reverse of the style of that piece. It is fairly simple in form with just three small melodies that are each developed in form plus a central undeveloped, but quite lush, melody that is just repeated three times for the sheer joy of it. The mood of the music is very light and upbeat and is meant to capture that lovely feeling of a sunny, summer afternoon with no work and no worries!Duration: 4.58

£109.99Sbandiamo! (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - De Haan, Jacob
Sbandiamo! is a joyous--and swinging--work, taking its title from the wind music event held annually in the medieval Italian city of Gubbio, Umbria in which various bands from all over Italy participate. The first performance of this piece was given at the Piazza Grande, Gubbio, under the baton of the composer himself, with a wind band of some 250 musicians. A stately introduction, with festive percussion, is followed by a catchy theme in alternating pop and march rhythms. The opening theme then returns as a marcia cantabile, and the work is brought to a grand and compelling conclusion.Duration: 5.30
