£11.95The Cossack (March) (Concert Band - Score Only) - Rimmer, William - Brand, Geoffrey
Another great march from William Rimmer, Britain's Lancashire-born "March King," who is reputed to have written more that a hundred marches. A Cossack, as defined in The Oxford Dictionary, is a "member of a people of southeastern Russia, especially as light horse in Russian army." William Rimmer's march opens with a magnificent portrayal of the strength and vigor which that definition implies and there is more character portrayal to come. An insightful Trio provides evidence of a Cossack's more reflective side before a short bridge takes the music back, via a Da Capo, to its opening power and strength. In William Rimmer's skillful hands, "March: The Cossack" is veritably a musical portrait.

£154.99Alternances (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Waignein, Andre
In 1984 the Corciano (Italy) Tourist Authority initiated a composition competition for wind band. For this event Andre Waignein composed "Alternances for Symphonic Band", a piece which won him the first prize in the competition. The opening of the work is based on a very tonal foundation. The English horn (or alto saxophone) introduces a rich and warm theme which is immediately taken up by the whole orchestra in a grandiose manner. The subsequent development shows off all the elements of the orchestra to the full. In the second movement, the English horn (or alto saxophone) comes to the fore again. A harmonic change gradually takes us back to the allegro of the first movement. The musical development is here dominated by exuberance, virtuosity and rhythm.Duration: 12:30

£97.00The Hornet's Nest
In 1780, Lord Charles Cornwallis attempted to invade Charlotte, but the city's residents united and expelled him. General Cornwallis went on to describe the city as "a hornet's nest of rebellion." In this Revolutionary War inspired piece, a strong florid melody is passed around the various sections of the ensemble. This work is a great opportunity for more advanced bands to focus on stylistic playing between the bright and triumphant theme and quieter larghetto passage. Students will enjoy taking a trip back in time with this piece full of Colonial American vigor.

£126.50Eastbound - Oliver Waespi
Eastbound was commissioned by the Siena Wind Orchestra of Tokyo and may be heard as a sort of urban exploration. It begins with a massive chordal progression verging into a compact, groove-driven exposition of a relatively basic motif, going on to become increasingly virtuosic and hectic, reflecting the ever-present hustle and bustle in the streets of a megalopolis. The subsequent slower section brings about an Edenic atmosphere. Some soloists are featured with expressive lines, building up towards a short climax with a blues flavour, leading back to the fast music of the beginning. The heavily scored chords of the beginning reappear only towards the ending of the piece, like pillars of the musical bridge spanning the entire piece. Another acceleration finally leads to a turbulent close.

£149.40Hoppesltt - Øystein Olsen Vadsten
This is an original piece of music composed by ystein Olsen Vadsten, inspired by old Norwegian folk dances. "Jumpety Jump" actually started out as a "reinlender" (Norwegian Folk Dance) which origins from Rhinland. The reinlender is well disguised in this arrangement by adding the shuffle- and swing style to it. The piece is first of all meant as a "happy go lucky" tune, but is full of rhythmical and technical challenges. Its put up as a jazz-tune, first presenting the melody, then "improvisasations" by the different instrument groups, before going back to the first theme. The title "Jumpety Jump" refers to the kind of jumping feeling the shuffle groove gives.
