£82.95Symphonic Suite (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Williams, Clifton
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. Duration: 12.30

£104.99Polonaise (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Dvorak, Antonin - Van der Beek, Wil
The year 2004 marked the 100th anniversary of the death of Antonin Dvorak. In 1879 Dvorak wrote this Polonaise as a commission for the committee organising the festivities for their famous national dance festival. Many famous Czech composers wrote dances specially for this event. This Polonaise in three movements, with its fine melody lines, deserves to be more than just an occasional work, however. Wil van der Beek's concert band arrangement does justice to the original piece.Duration: 5:45

£154.99Symphonic Variations (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - De Haan, Jacob
This composition is based on a passacaglia theme, in which artistic perfection, symphonic drama and oriental melody lines play a role. The passacaglia is originally a dance made up of a series of variations above a bass line constantly present as an ostinato. It is not in this sense that the "Symphonic Variations" are in the passacaglia form but in the sense of the open form of the variations. Jacob de Haan, himself originally an organist, took his inspiration for this piece from the famous passacaglia for organ in C-minor by J.S. Bach. Following the introduction of the passacaglia theme (in the bass) the entry by the trumpets and trombones forms the majestic start to a musical adventure, in which this theme (often fragmentary) returns in variations. Then there follow two faster movements with dramatic contrasts and virtuose passages. Particularly striking here is the use of two characteristic intervals from the beginning of the theme namely the minor second and the augmented fourth. An apause in the composition comes in the slow bridge where a syncopated bourdon (perfect fifth) is constantly repeated. The tension grows in dynamics and harmony, and the oriental-flavour becomes obvious in the melody. We arrive at a faster movement via an accelerando, in which a perpetuum mobile based on the passacaglia theme is central. Finally the whole flows into a martial theme, in which the ostinato accompaniment n the descant derives from the passacaglia theme.Duration: 11:15

£59.95A Handel Suite (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Johnson, Stuart
The three movements of this suite have been carefully selected from a collection of keyboard music, presumably written by Handel for the harpsichord. The Serenade (2nd movement) was originally a courtly dance and should be performed at a stately pace. The third movement is a three-part fugue, robust and contrapuntal, providing interesting parts for everyone.

£144.99Ukrainian Rhapsody (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Cesarini, Franco
Folk music plays an important role in the life of the Ukrainian people. Their country covers an area of over 600.000 square kilometres and has more than fifty million inhabitants. In the north there are vast woods, in the west one finds the picturesque Carpatian mountains and valleys, and in the centre and the south Ukraine has its famous steppes with fertile black soil. The river Dnjepr divides the country in two, forming a natural frontier between the western and eastern regions, which each have their own distinctively different musical folklore. This diversity forms the musical basis for Ukrainian Rhapsody. The work consists of three movements: the first one, in a moderate tempo, without a pause flows into a slow but very expressive middle movement, resulting in a powerful climax. The composition ends with the Gopak: a rousing dance.Duration: 9:00
