£60.00Christmas a la Mode (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Smith, Robert W.
Use the holiday season to introduce and reinforce the importance of scales with your students. Robert W. Smith's Christmas A La Mode is an arrangement of "Jingle Bells" that takes the band and audience on a journey through the traditional modes. Following a brief introduction, our journey begins in the Dorian mode. We continue our sleigh ride through Phrygian, Lydian, Mixolydian, and Aeolian before an ominous stop in the Locrian mode. We return to Ionian as the arrangement concludes in glorious fashion. A wonderful educational opportunity combining music theory with effective performance! Duration: 2.30

£150.00Cockaigne Overture (In London Town) (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Elgar, Edward - Noble, Paul
Cockaigne Overture was composed when Edward Elgar received a commission from the Royal Philharmonic Society, and he reported that the new piece was "cheerful and Londony, 'stout and steaky'...honest, healthy, humorous and strong, but not vulgar." The first performance was in the Queen's Hall, London, on 20 June 1901, conducted by the composer. He dedicated the work to his "many friends, the members of British orchestras." The music was an immediate success and became one of Elgar's most popular works. In its 15 minutes or so, the overture gives a lively and colourful musical portrait of Edwardian London. 'Cockaigne' was a term used by moralists at that time as a metaphor for gluttony and drunkenness, while Britain adopted the name humorously for London, and from it we get the Cockney. Cockaigne or Cockayne /ka' kein/, the word origin tracing back to the 13th century, is a land of plenty in medieval myth, an imaginary place of extreme luxury and ease where physical comforts and pleasures are always immediately at hand and where the harshness of medieval peasant life does not exist. The work presents various aspects of turn-of-the-century London and Londoners. It begins with a quiet but bustling theme which leads into an unbroken sequence of snapshots: the cockneys, the church bells, the romantic couples, a slightly ragged brass band (perhaps the Salvation Army) and a contrastingly grand and imperious military band. The broad theme representing Londoners has been stated as the first occurrence of Elgar's trademark direction, 'nobilmente.' The work ends in a characteristically Elgarian blaze of sound, including an optional full organ.

£59.00A Holiday Smash-Up (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - McBride, Jonathan
In "A Holiday Smash-Up," an eclectic take on familiar holiday melodies, the woodwinds insist on playing "Jingle Bells," while the brass remains resolute about playing "O Christmas Tree." The hilarity grows as each frustrated section begins lobbing random "decoy" Christmas songs into the mix. In the end the brass and the woodwinds both get their holiday wish by finding a way to play the two songs at the same time! Individual parts are consciously written to support student success in the short holiday rehearsal season, while the work itself is a musical holiday joke book, full of surprises and unexpected twists. Liven up your next holiday concert with the humor and joy of "A Holiday Smash-Up!" Duration: 2.15

£78.00A Trombone Family Reunion (Trombone Trio with Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Fillmore, Henry - Glover, Andrew
Between 1908 and 1929, Henry Fillmore composed a series of fifteen novelty pieces featuring the trombone section with band. These became collectively known as "The Trombone Family," with names and subtitles connecting them in sort of a musical genealogy. The three most popular family members, "Lassus Trombone," "Miss Trombone," and "Shoutin' Liza Trombone" join together in a whimsical way for "A Trombone Family Reunion," along with some "shirttail relatives" depicted by famous trombone excerpts from the symphonic repertoire. Included are quotations from "Blue Bells Of Scotland," "Symphony No. 4" by Tchaikovsky, "Tannhauser Overture," "Second Hungarian Rhapsody," "Prelude to Act III of Lohengrin," "Hallelujah Chorus," "Ride of the Valkyries," "Turkey In The Straw," and a few other surprises. Great fun! Duration: 3.30
