£137.70Kerberos - Kjetil Djønne
"Kerberos" was written to Norwegian band Eidanger Pike- og guttekorps, Sigurd Skramsett conductor.When Sigurd Skramsett got in touch and wanted to commision a piece for their anniversary concert in November, I immediately thought of composing a piece about his role in the local bands. He has conducted the band for 15 years and has been important to the whole banding community in Telemark, Norway. My meeting with Sigurd in the summer of 2019 was at Dirigentuka (Conductors week) in Stavanger. We conducted many different types of music, including a blues by Torstein Aagard-Nilsen. All of the music at the course has inspired me in this piece.The name Sigurd originates from Norse mythology and means 'victory' and 'guardian'. KERBEROS is the three-headed dog guarding the entrance to the underworld of Greek mythology. Three heads, representing the past, present and future, became three movements representing three styles, and moods, in this work.Kjetil Djnne

£82.50Surf's Up! - Joseph Eidson
Inspired by surf rock bands of the 1960s, the musical characteristics of the style are all showcased here: a fast-paced driving rhythm combined with an agile melody and frequent use of blues scale elements. Steady rhythms in the winds and percussion imitate the chugging of a Fender Stratocaster guitar, while dynamics ebb and flow until an energetic coda delivers a tsunami of sound that fills the concert hall.

£109.99Tribute to Dixie - Gilbert Tinner
This scintillating work was written as a tribute to the jazz musicians of the New Orleans, Dixieland and Chicago styles of the 20s and 30s. It consists of an opening swing section in true Dixieland style, followed by a sleazy blues section. Ideally the band should be divided so there is a separate Dixieland band consisting of trumpet, clarinet, alto or tenor saxophone, trombone, banjo (optional) and tuba or double bass. Although the Dixieland band are mostly accompanied by the remainder of the concert band the accompanying players also get the chance to shine as every now and again they take over the musical themes.

Joe Cocker!
Joe Cocker is considered the most successful white blues singer; he is especially well-known for his rough, striking voice. In 1968, With a Little Help from My Friends became his first number one hit in the UK. With this song he had his great breakthrough at the legendary Woodstock festival in 1969. He can now look back on 40 years of performing and he still is very successful. His records are almost selfselling and his tours easily fill stadiums. Wolfgang Wssner, a true Joe Cocker fan from early childhood, has collected the singer's most beautiful and successful songs and arranged them in a great medley for concert band.

£91.99A Tom Sawyer Portrait - Jarvis
Mark Twain's colorful characters come to musical life in "A Tom Sawyer Portrait!" The journey begins in St. Petersburg, Missouri, with a jaunty musical portrayal of Tom and Huck and a ragtime sequence which depicts the sleepy river town. An Americana-style ballad follows that is tender, lyrical and poignant. This segues into a "no holds barred" blues section representing the mighty Mississippi. The Portrait concludes with our heroes' return, featuring a recap of the opening theme augmented in the brass and accompanied by woodwind runs and exciting percussion. This is a great selection for the concert band that demands solid musicianship but will reward students for their efforts!
