£64.99Happy Summer Song - Graydon A. Toms
This lighthearted piece is ideal for the Grade 1 band. Repeated notes in a sequential melody, simple counterpoint between the Woodwinds and Trumpets, interesting use of common Auxiliary Percussion instruments, a limited palette of rhythms and easy Low Brass/ Low Woodwind parts all combine so that you can program HAPPY SUMMER SONG with confidence. Whether you have a full complement of players or your instrumentation is a little "sketchy"; whether you have plenty of rehearsal time or that precious commodity is a bit rare, you can count on having this one ready in time for the show.

£154.99Harlequin - Franco Cesarini
The overture Harlequin was composed in 1995 to mark the 50th anniversary of the Swiss Federation of Wind Band conductors. The striking ascending and descending melodic lines, heard throughout the composition, together with the intricate rhythm, form an entertaining whole. The work begins with a sparkling opening in which the strong rhythmic brass passages are surrounded by virtuoso woodwind embellishments. The theme of the energetic opening later returns in the Andante Rubato, but in a very different form. The middle movement develops towards a partial repeat of the opening section which leads quickly into a thundering Presto finale.

£149.99Suite Provenale - Jan Van der Roost
This 4-movement suite is based on authentic folktunes from the beautiful southern province in France: the "Provence". The composer used an harmonic language respecting the popular characteristics, but on the other hand also contains some "spicy" notes (... just like the wellknown "Provenal sauce"! ...). The instrumentation is very colourful, paying a lot of attention to the different timbres of both brass and wood winds as well as to the percussion section.Every movement has its own character: "Un Ange a fa la crido" (= An angel brought the creed / credo) is like a bourre, "Adam e sa Coumpagnou" (= Adam and his companion) is an old love song, "Lou Fusti" (= the carpenter)a fast dance and finally "Lis Escoubo" (= a whistle tune / popular ballad) is a farandole. In the latter, the old tradition of folk musicians who play a whistle with one hand and a drum with the other hand, is clearly represented during the first presentations of the one and only theme)Although this piece is not too demanding, a well balanced band is necessary to perform it successfully. Thanks to the contrasts and the varying colours, it keeps on holding the attention.

Full of humour and extremely effective, Merry Music is one of his best-known and most popular works.
