£53.95Pavane (Pour Une Infante Defunte) - Maurice Ravel / arr. Robert W. Smith
This hauntingly beautiful piece is one of Maurice Ravel's most popular piano works. Robert W. Smith's transcription for winds contrasts a 'music box' effect in bells and triangle against the dynamic rise and fall of the winds. Written as a contest/festival/concert work, it will also serve as a warmup chorale. A great teaching piece!

£82.95Symphonic Suite - Clifton Williams
A suite of five movements with different material. Each movement is associated through the use of one theme. The first, "Intrada," is fanfare-like, and the second, "Chorale," features a trumpet solo. "March," the third movement, is reminiscent of the opening material, followed by "Antique Dance," which has a modal melody. The final movement, "Jubilee," is clearly the most intense. The work is an Ostwald Award-Winning Composition of the American Bandmasters Association and is clearly a repertoire standard. (12:23) This title is available in MakeMusic Cloud.

This beautiful chorale allows for a lot of music making. Modulating from A-flat to the key of B-flat, the piece follows the glorious journey of a soul to Heaven. Soaring lines in the brass and woodwinds contrast the soft opening and closing textures of this wonderfully scored work. Optional notes in several parts make this appropriate for more advanced groups as well. (4:15)

Not very often are we treated to such a beautiful chorale at the grade 1 level. Brian has scored this to work well with your beginning band instrumentation while providing opportunities to work on musicianship and intonation both at the elementary and middle school levels. Excellent for concert situations and also effective in developing a rich sound. Highly recommended! (2:40)

£62.95Through Courageous Eyes - Brian Balmages
This innovative work makes use of an optional piano part that is most likely playable by someone already in the band. It was written in honor of Matt Rhodes, a student at John T. Baker Middle (Damascus, MD), who passed away during a battle with spina bifida. It represents his kindness, courage, and determination despite his confinement to a wheelchair. An opening ethereal section and chorale moves into an exciting portrayal of life which concludes with a humorous ending that was very characteristic of Matt. A very musical composition that teaches much more than notes. (4:50)
