£53.95North Shore Overture - David Marlatt
North Shore Boulevard is a street in Burlington, Canada near where settlers landed their ships and established their family roots in the early 1800s. Times were tough but so were they. This piece is split into sections depicting the people and the events that occurred at that time. Full of character and interesting rhythms, this unique overture would work equally well for concert or contest use. This is a great piece to expose developing players to lots of syncopation and some "extra flat notes" not commonly used for music at this level. North Shore Overture is an excellent end of year piece or something to start off a higher level band as their first piece of the year. (2:25)

£77.50The Moon Reflected in Twin Ponds
The Moon Reflected In Twin Ponds was commissioned for the Dr. Norman Bethune Collegiate Concert Band, in Toronto, Canada. This school has a large Chinese population and it seemed fitting to write a work that spoke to the Chinese culture. This folksong has been used to create a work that utilizes voices, graphic notation, and Chinese percussion instruments in its realization. Noteworthy, among the Chinese instruments used in this setting, is the erhu. The erhu is a two stringed violin held vertically on the knees, and played with a bow, like the western violin. If conductors have access to someone who can play this instrument, it will provide an affective, authentic and evocative addition to the performance of The Moon Reflected in Twin Ponds.

Mr. Coakley wanted to personalize the piece so he created tone rows from the letter notes drawn from the names of the members of each section of the band. These individual rows were "boiled" down to one row, and its derivatives. These four motives served as the thematic, and harmonic material for the composition.
