£65.00Ringing Isle, The - Jonathan Dove arr. Phillip Littlemore
Handel called Britain 'the ringing isle' because when he moved to London, he heard bells ringing everywhere: great bells in church towers, and handbells in some of the first private houses he visited. The sound of people 'ringing the changes' is a peculiarly British sound of celebration, and it seems a good starting point for a piece celebrating British musical life. Within The Ringing Isle, Dove incorporates some traditional change-ringing patterns, from 'Grandsire Doubles', 'Oxford Treble Bob Minor' and his own version of 'Plain Bob Major'. Handel's phrase also conjures up an image of a magical island, and so this is how Dove envisaged how it must have been to approach Britain from an ocean voyage.

£88.00Euphonium Music - Brian Bowen
Something of a classic in its brass band and piano versions! We are delighted, at last, to make this work available ith wind band accompaniment by the composer. Written in 1978, the work is constructed in three movements and is virtually a concerto for euphonium and band. The first movement begins with an unaccompanied motto theme, which uses all twelve notes of the scale but with a tonal feel. The slow second movement is based on an original song melody by the composer - 'The Eyes of God' - and affords lyrical and richly expressive playing that is typically euphonium. Movement three follows without a break - a capricious movement which ends triumphantly. Now available in versions for piano, brass band, wind band, and orchestra, Euphonium Music can be seen as a major contribution to the literature for the instrument. Duration: 15 minutes USA Grade 5 An orchestral version is available on hire.

£53.00A Mystical Legend
Mystical Legend depicts the loup-garou (French: werewolf, sometimes rendered as rougarou in spelling and pronunciation). This swamp wolf man from Cajun folklore is largely used as a children's tale to inspire obedience, though it can be seen as a force for good. This edgy and eerie composition presents the loup-garou as a misunderstood monster or a tragic protagonist.

The storms of winter can be dangerous and beautiful at the same time. This composition starts off fast, dark, and furious.

With interesting melodies, subtle dissonance, and multiple percussion parts, this journey through the winter storm will be exciting and memorable.

£69.00Pelican Dance
Quirky, fun, and not too serious, this dance-like composition was inspired by the composer noticing pelicans on his way to work! The opening motif played by the entire ensemble in the first measure is fundamental for the entire work. Stated in some form at the beginning of each musical section, it even appears as a bass line in the composition. Performed at one tempo throughout, this piece emphasizes essential dynamic contrasts and the various ways a theme can be developed in a composition. Percussion drives the energy of the composition, allowing your players to develop their skills on hand percussion. Enjoy the dance!
