£92.50Fantasia and Fugue in G minor - Johann Sebastian Bach / arr. John Boyd
One of the many great masterpieces by J.S. Bach, these transcribed organ works (known as 'The Great' Fugue) are wonderful pieces to hear and play. Carefully edited for the colors available in wind bands, the works (most likely independently composed) offer lush chorales, hints of chromaticism, and, of course, the exciting dovetailing of many voices as the classic fugue unwinds until, finally, it concludes in a welcome cadence.

£150.00Celebre Tarantelle - Louis Moreau Gottschalk / arr. Sebastian Anthony Birch
New Orleans-born composer and pianist Louis Moreau Gottschalk's (1829-1869) Grand Tarantelle for Piano and Orchestra, Op. 67, was published in Paris after the composer's sudden death in Brazil in 1869. While no score for this 'moto perpetuo' work was found, the instrumentation used for this arrangement is based on parts located for the original orchestration. The piano part is the original composer's edition, while the band arrangement takes full advantage of the many colors of the concert band. The arrangement is well within the technical limits of good concert bands, so little rehearsal time with the soloist will be required.

The opening statement, with fanfare flourish, grows as we are led into development that propels with vigor and force.

Gyrating ostinatos weave an almost hypnotic blanket, and the colors and timbral changes are myriad. This exceptional work sounds far more difficult than it plays! (duration 5:48)
