£49.50The Nuts and Crackers Sweet
Shaffer has risen to a higher level of musical misquotation with this adaptation of Tchaikovsky's famous ballet, Nuts and Crackers. David has lovingly orchestrated three of the most best known movements from the ballet: March of the Rin Tin Tin Soldiers, Dance of the Thoroughly Modern Mirlitons, and the Russian Hat-rack Dance (Ho Ho Hopak). This delightfully fun piece is especially appropriate for holiday concerts, but is sure to bring down the house in any concert setting. Lots of fun and full of percussion sound effects. DELIGHTFUL!

£118.99TRANZENDENTAL DANSE OF JOI (Concert Band) - Bonney, James
This energetic new work fuses the percussion of street musicians, the wind and brass colours of modern jazz, and the form and structure of classical music. Percussionists play everything from plastic buckets to clay flowerpots while laying down a heavily syncopated groove. There is an open section that allows any instrument you desire the unique opportunity to show off their improvisational skills in a wind ensemble setting. This piece is as rhythmically and melodically infectious as it is soulfully uplifting - a guaranteed crowd-pleaser. American Grade 4

£19.95WARCRYE OF ELFEGEN (Prestige Concert Band Extra Score) - Lawrence, Geoffrey
Extra Score. The piece depicts scenes from the mythological kingdom of Elfegen, the North European home of a ferocious race of warriors. From the tranquillity of the opening, where first can be heard the eerie 'warcrye', things move quickly on; figures are scurrying up and down the hills moving into battle positions. The intensity increases constantly and soon a fierce battle rages. In time, the fighting subsides and a period of reflective calm replaces the chaos that has gone before. During the lull in battle a lone voice is heard, as if trying to appeal for peace, for people to resolve their differences and see sense. The voice is, however, ignored and the conflict sparks off once more. The ruthless Elfegen warriors are not content until the victory is complete, a very loud, and triumphant climax is heard as another battle reaches its inevitable conclusion. (Grade 5) Performance time 6'38' (Recorded on QPRM133D FESTIVAL OF MUSIC 1999, Massed Bands of the Royal Air Force)

£48.95We Be Jammin - Steve Hodges
Here is an opportunity for the young band to experience elements of reggae music. Percussion and bass sections lay down a strong groove while woodwinds and brass add characteristic off-beat accompaniment patterns and alaid-back melody. A great teaching tool to introduce this style of music.

£94.99A New Beginning - Satoshi Yagisawa
A New Beginning begins with a beautiful and sensitive chorale shaping the musical ideas. This chorale builds up to a fast and rhythmical setting, creating a vivid and spectacular feel, with lots of percussion. The instrumentation is versatile and colourful, which makes the piece very pleasant to play and work on for each instrumental group within the band. The music slows down again in the finale, but in a maestoso style. This leads onto a dramatic and impressive ending!

£101.30Come Tag Along With Us - Hans Offerdal
A great sounding march dedicated to all band musicians and twirlers! The march was composed without commission for a very simple reason which is very often the case, the idea had to be written down! Playing time: appx. 3:45 min

Ziggurat - Wouter Lenaerts
The Tower of Babel was built in 1563 and is the best-known masterpiece of Pieter Bruegel the Elder (ca. 1520-1569). The step-like temple tower or ziggurat was an important meeting place for people from different continents and cultures. However, its spiritual meaning is even more important as this tower was considered to be the gate to heaven - the gate dividing two worlds. This work creates a musical connection between these two worlds. As sources of inspiration, the composer used the Luther chorale 'Ach Gott, vom Himmel sieh darein' (Oh God, Look Down from Heaven, 1524), the legendary King Nimrod and the painter Pieter Bruegel the Elder, whose initials form the basis of oneof the themes.

Zip Drive - Les Taylor
Snares off create a tom-tom effect to start this fast, 2-beat swinger. Easy ranges and rhythms with mild syncopation help drive this one "pedal to the metal." Everyone is featured for four measures on a break chorus. If you cannot play this fast, slow it down. It sounds great at a moderate 4-beat tempo as well. (1:31)
