First Christmas Suite - Mike Hannickel
Beginners LOVE to feel like they are playing "REAL MUSIC", even at that first winter performance. These simple arrangements of well-known carols let your students do just that. AND - the "suite" format let's you draw the beginning band's entire share of that first concert from one arrangement, if you like, saving on scarce music library funds. The sound of "Good King Wenceslas" and "Oh Come Little Children" belies the simplicity of the arrangements, and "Jolly Old St. Boogie-Claus" is just plain "riff-style" fun! They'll love this one!!

The Enemy God and the Dance of the Spirits - Sergei Prokofiev
The Russian ballet director Sergei Diaghilev commissioned many composers to write music for the theatre. This was what caused Serge Prokofiev to compose the four part Scytische Suite (also known as Ala and Lolli) in 1916, from which The Enemy God and the Dance of the Spirits can be heard on this CD. This suite is one of Prokofiev's first works, and received negative criticism following its first performance on account of its being "uncivilised". Prokofiev himself wrote after this first performance ". . . The timpani player beat the skin of the timpani to tatters, and the whole orchestra voiced a protest. A cellist complained that he only put up with the violence, createdby the blaring brass, on account of his sick wife and three children . . .".

Who did it? - Jacob de Haan
Who did it? is a composition for youth bands with limited instrumentation. While composing it, Jacob de Haan was inspired by a familiar situation: a child caught doing something mischievous such as taking another child's toy, and trying to get away with it. The other children, however, notice this. The fast tempo of this work reflects the chase that follows - this will be fun for all the band members.

£84.99Mah Na, Mah Na
The Italian film music composer Piero Umiliani originally composed Mah Na Mah Na in 1968 for the soundtrack of the Swedish movie Sweden - Heaven or Hell. However the piece only became a hit in the 1970s, when Jim Henson used the catchy melody in his children's TV series The Muppet Show and Sesame Street. Stefan Schwalgin has produced this excellent version to give baritone saxophonists, who sometimes feel left out by the band's repertoire, a platform for their soloistic development. This gem is full of little musical surprises and will hold a special place in your bands repertoire.

£84.99Goodnight - Thomas Doss
The composer dedicated Goodnight to his two youngest daughters, Teresa and Sarah, creating another addition to his series of children's pieces, which includes Powerplay and Romantic Ballad. The intimate atmosphere created by the music reflects the unique and precious connection between a father and his daughters. As the name implies, Goodnight was conceived as a lullaby, making it a perfect encore to end an evening concert.
