£66.95In Heaven's Air - Samuel R. Hazo
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.

£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.
