£109.99The Horn of Plenty - Marc Cunningham
The Horn of Plenty is a composition which allows to present the Horn in many styles. The opening has an heroic character and exudes an Spanish atmosphere. The next part is a playful and lighthearted Leggiero. The melody used in bar 38 has an oriental sound through melodic use of the harmonic scale. The Andante is a parody on a piano etude by the composer Stephen Heller, a Frenchman of Hungarian descent. The piece ends with a relaxed swing area in which the Horn also in a different way can be heard.

£113.30Fantasy For Winds - Lorenzo Pusceddu
The piece opens with a sumptuous celebratory fanfare dominated by the brass section. In the following Allegro, the woodwind instruments weave their graceful melodious plots, with occasional intense interruptions by the brass section. The piece continues with Valzers where the initial melancholic mood set by the woodwind is superseded by the brass section harkening back to modal musical mode before, once more, being taken up by the woodwind instruments. The piece closes with a gently expressive Andante. The gentle delicacy of this section moves to a moderate Allegro featuring a running dance with light-hearted irregular rhythm. The return to the opening fanfare brings us back to the anniversary celebrations of the Band and a solemn final sequence to the composition. The debut performance took place under the direction of the composer at the Gala Concert on March 28, 2009.

£113.30Caleidoscopio - Lorenzo Pusceddu
The incommunicability between different cultures and worlds and the confusion that this generates lie at the heart of this work: the fanfare-like themes that characterise the introduction, together with the "Arabian" melodies of the Presto, represent these differences. The bare theme of the Andante, while offering a glimpse of hope, also describes the impossibility of a meeting and the pain this situation causes. The empty fifth and dissonance of the minor second are elements that feature throughout this work. In the Coda, moreover, all these ideas reappear "kaleidoscopically", amidst a convulsive and excitingly chaotic atmosphere.

£98.20San Carlo - Lorenzo Pusceddu
Ugo Papurello, president of the ''I Filarmonici'' band from San Carlo Canavese (Turin), commissioned this piece to celebrate the group's twentieth anniversary. The opening fanfare is an eloquent and fitting introduction to a solemn celebration. It is followed by the allegro, which has a modal feel and is characterised by a succession of rhythms representing the liveliness ad enthusiasm that have always characterised this band. The andante symbolises a moment of reflection and nostalgic reminiscence. The allegro is repeated as an expression of the hope that the band will continue to set itself increasingly ambitious goals. The fanfare brings back the joyous atmosphere of this special occasion and sets a formal seal on the band's twentieth anniversary.

£82.50Caprice and Cantus - Nancy H. Seward
The allegro sections use the articulated diatonic scale/arpeggio patterns in upper voices and the legato passages include important moving lines for 2nd and 3rd players. Contrasting sonorities in the lyrical andante provide excellent phrase teaching. ( 6 minutes 6 seconds)

£82.50Cross River Overture - Nancy H. Seward
The opening fanfare fades to an expressive andante featuring contrasts between woodwind and brass sonorities. A short call in the trombones simulates the horn of an excursion boat and heralds a spirited allegro with contrasting articulated patterns, legato passages and repartee between high and low voices.

£104.50Introit and Celebration - Tom Mitchell
This work opens with a dramatic adagio maestoso consisting of broad contrasting rhythms and dissonant brass harmonies. It then leads to the bright allegro con spirito that is marked with rhythmic chordal figures under flowing melodic lines and exciting meter changes. A brief andante expressivo supplies a change of mood and texture before the grandiose and powerful ending. A highlight for any program.

Concerto Dynamico - Johan Nijs
Concerto Dynamico is a sparkling work opening with a majestic introduction in which the whole band presents the main theme. The volume together with the broad melodic lines, create a robust opening that leads to a dazzling allegro. Syncopated rhythms produce a cheerful note, supported by the percussion. A charming andante follows, in which various instrument groups play the main theme. In the succeeding moderato marziale, the same theme can be heard as in the last allegro giocoso, but with another rhythm. Concerto Dynamico ends with a shortened repeat of the slow middle movement.

£58.50Yorkshire Fantasy - John O'Reilly
A Yorkshire Fantasy was commissioned by the Association of Texas Small School Bands and premiered by the association's All-State Band in February, 1999. Inspired by the magnificent English countryside, the work is written in two contrasting sections. The stunning Andante section opens with a haunting woodwind chorale, which leads to a more lyrical theme in the brass. Expanded percussion is a prevalent feature in the sparkling Allegro. Syncopated rhythms and changing meters will keep your band and audience on the edge of their seats. A brief return to the beginning theme brings this outstanding work to a wonderful conclusion!

With a dramatic introduction and a beautiful Andante section, this overture is excellent for concert or contest use. The main theme alternates effectively from major to minor with active accompaniment patterns. The contrasting middle section is flowing and reflective before transitioning back to the drama of the main theme and the exciting conclusion. Each section of the young band will enjoy playing the melodies and rhythmic accompaniments of this dynamic composition.
