£47.50Shenandoah (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Sweeney, Michael
Here is a sensitive yet very playable version of this beautiful folk melody. From a soft beginning with woodwinds followed by the low brass playing the melody, this arrangement builds to a dramatic statement by the full band. Even at this easy level, Mike uses a creative harmonic scheme and scoring effects to ensure an effective performance.Duration: 2:15

£69.99St. Louis Blues (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Handy, W. C. - Brown & Henderson
Based on the famous Canadian Brass version by master arranger Luther Henderson, here is a wonderful adaptation for concert band by Michael Brown. Opening with a bluesy medium swing feel, the tuba section is featured on the melody along with a small group of players. Mid-way through the arrangement, the style changes to an up-tempo Dixieland style with the melody cleverly traded between various sections of the band. This rousing number is sure to be a favourite.

£60.99Dialogues (for Winds and Percussion) (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Sweeney, Michael
Here is a unique and striking work using contemporary percussion techniques, unmeasured sections, and dramatic musical effects. Strong brass fanfares, woodwind flourishes and short canonic statements lead to an uptempo rhythmic ostinato that builds steadily by layering rhythms and melodies. A brief slower section features solos for horn and flute before returning to the fast tempo and exuberant finish. Duration: 6:30

£176.50Masquerade (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Sparke, Philip
Masquerade was commissioned by Stadtmusik Willisau from Switzerland (Reto Gdel, conductor) to celebrate their 175th anniversary in 2003 and first performed by them in November that year.1. Overture: The first movement opens with a fanfare-like figure, featuring the brass, before the main them is introduced over staccato chords. After a short, syncopated interlude a legato theme is introduced in the tenor register and material is developed until the music slows temporarily. The opening theme returns and the 'tenor' tune is taken up by the whole band until the opening fanfare returns to close the movement.2. Elegy: The slow movement opens intensely with a bare two-part theme, which leads to a passionate chorale-style melody. A second theme is introduced and leads to a climax, a return of the chorale theme and a pianissimo repeat which again leads to a full-band climax. The two-part theme returns quietly to create a peaceful close.3 Interlude: A short movement which changes the mood to introduce...4 Finale: Three violent chords preface a lively syncopated opening theme. The trumpets introduce a second idea, which is treated fugally, and this in turn leads to the main melodic idea of the movement, over staccato chords. A contrasting subject is then introduced in the middle of the band, followed by echoes of the first movement fanfare. The opening theme returns and material is revisited until the opening fanfare returns in full to end the work triumphantly.Duration: 15:30

£76.99Fanfare and Hymn of Brotherhood (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Bocook, Jay
Commissioned by the Gamma Eta chapter of Phi Mu Alpha, at Furman University, Greenville, SC, this impressive work is built around two chorale themes and a recurring fanfare. After the boldly stated opening, a bright allegro developmental section becomes increasingly more intense until a dramatic cadence is reached. At this point, antiphonal brass (3 trumpets, 2 trombones) soar above the ensemble and play a grandiose version of the first chorale. The band re-enters and both ensembles play the climactic ending to the work, in a new key, and with both hymns being heard simultaneously. Marvelous work! Duration: 6:00

£65.00Cryptogram (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Turnbull, Kit
Cryptogram (krip-to-gram): anything written in cipher. Cipher (si'fer): a secret code. Commissioned for the 50th Birthday of Paul Patterson, the composer has taken the letters P, A, U and L and adapted their Morse Code dots and dashes as a basis for the piece. Combinations of rich brass writing, juxtaposed with florid upper wind writing, provides a stimulating piece for an intermediate level band. The finale to the work superimposes both elements for a grand ending. Duration: 6.00
