£189.70Children of Sanchez - Chuck Mangione
"Children of Sanchez" was composed by Chuck Mangione to the movie also entitled "Children of Sanchez) in 1978. Mangione was awarded several Grammys for this music.Make sure that the unison lines are played with energy and freshness in the beginning of the piece.After the lyric opening of the theme, the character should be tightened up a bit in the rhythmic details two bars before 26.(An important rhythmic "meeting-point" is 16th note no. 8 in each bar). Good balance between quarter-notes and Tom-toms/Small Bass Drum is important at bar 49. This to make the polyrhythmic between these two parts as clear as possible (a suggestion is to let one performer play both Percussion 1-parts here).Be aware of the dynamics in the accompaniment (not too loud) when the soloist plays from bar 60 and onwards. The rhythmics must be tight.Feel free to let some players stand up in the tutti parts to make visual effects.

£179.99Spartacus - Jan Van der Roost
Spartacus is a "Symphonic Tone Poem" with 3 joints. Each section has its own melodical materials, however: in the final movement the main theme from the second section returns in a 'grandioso'-tutti. The last bar but one recaptures the 'oriental' atmosphere of the very beginning. The first section (= from the beginning till J) builds up a climax by repeating and accumulating some melodical and rhythmical stuctures. The oriental character of the melodical fragments refers to the origin of the Roman slaves. The second section evokes the love between Spartacus and his loveby giving a peaceful atmosphere. The mean theme (presented the first time at letter L) has a broad andwide character and refers slightly to filmmusic. In this part of the composition, a special attention is given to the orchestration. The final section is more agressive and martial and refers to the revolt of the slaves against the Roman oppressors. In the middle of this movement, an accumulation of the 12 tones symbolizes the crucifixion of the slaves: the english horn resumes partly the cadenza of the flute (at letter J), as if he wants to show again the eternal love between Spartacus and his love a very last time ... The theme at the third bar of letter T is actually based on the 2nd theme of this section (which starts at the fifth bar of letter R), but has been worked out rhytmically.

£115.60Home for Christmas - Maria Mena
Here's an easy arrangement of this popular Christmas song composed by Maria Mena and Martin Sjlie.I have tried to spread the melody to several groups throughout the arrangement. The melody has to be played rhythmically, but also with flow and legato style.Please strive for best possible intonation and balance where the melody is played by several players.At bar 13, clarinets and horns plays a little counter theme. Please strive for best possible intonation and balance also on this.The quarter notes played by saxophones, horn and trombones at bar 18 have both a harmonic and rhythmic function.The arrangement ends quite and calm, like a peaceful Christmas day.- Reid Gilje -

£228.70Prelude Festivo - John Brakstad
Prelude Festivo is intended to be performed in concerts and in competitions as well. The work includes solo passages for most instrument groups. Duration 7 minutes. Form: Fast slow fast. The piece is built around two themes. Theme 1 (Allegro con spirito) is the first one presented as a clarinet solo after a fanfare-like opening. Theme 2 is hinted at in the opening bars, but presented fully in the slow (Andante) section (bar 141). This theme is developed and also appears as melodic and rhytmic fragments throughout the composition. In the concluding section (bar 196) both themes are played in conjunction before the piece concludes with the fanfare theme from theopening bars. The solos for cornet and euphonium may be played by saxophone soli cued in at bars 114 and 128. Parts that are marked piu mosso ed leggiero should be played in a cheerful light staccato style in contrast to Andante cantabile.

£149.40Bekken (Fra Lyriske stykker opus 62) - Edvard Grieg
Brooklet is one of the movements from Grieg's Lyric Pieces for Solo Piano opus 62. Information for the conductor: Brooklet is an technically advanced work for solo piano. In this arrangement, technical passages are simplified by overlapping and doubling some of the parts. To master the technical challenges and make it sound effortless, it is important to pay close attention to balance and precision. Some of the parts also have alternative parts added which can lower the technical challenges a bit. The normal instrumentation are Clarinet 1-2-3, but there is also an "optional" part for Solo Clarinet. This is included on the same sheet as Clarinet 1. Both parts can stand alone or be played together. (i.e. The Solo Clarinet part can be played in addition to Clarinet 1, in whole or in part if desired, or it can replace Clarinet 1 entirely, using only Solo Clarinet and Clarinet 2 and 3.). From bar 5 to bar 13, there is a suggested solo for Solo Clarinet. If played by Solo Clarinet, please omit Clarinet 1, 2 & 3 for these bars.
