£85.00Rejoice and Sing! (Concert Band with Optional Choir - Score and Parts) - Rutter, John - Noble, Paul
Rejoice and sing! was written in celebration of the 95th birthday of Sir David Willcocks. John Rutter writes: I was delighted to be asked by OUP to compose a new carol in his honour. Writing 'Rejoice and sing!' I recalled the many happy Christmas concerts he conducted with the Bach Choir in London's Royal Albert Hall, thinking also of his fondness for quirky rhythms, hence the lopsided 7/8 which runs through much of the music. This arrangement is written for combined Concert Band and Chorus, but may be performed by band alone. It is compatible with the original version except that it is transposed down by one-half step (semi-tone).

£94.99A New Beginning (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Yagisawa, Satoshi
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!Duration: 5.45

£137.99Paladin (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Houben, Kevin
Paladin (heroic knight) was written for the music society De Heibloem from Meeuwen, Belgium and tells the story of the disastrous Saint Nicholas Day of 1648. In the first half of the seventeenth century, the mercenary armies of Karel van Lorreinen terrorised several villages in the province of Limburg. Between 1,500 and 1,600 farmers gathered in Peer on December 6, 1648, to battle against the cruel mercenaries who looted and burned down their villages. The brave farmers did not stand a chance and were ambushed in Meeuwen and within quarter of an hour there were four hundred fatalities and at least as many wounded. In history books, this encounter is referred to as the shortest battle ever. A truly heroic work suitable for all concert programmes.Duration: 7:15

£65.00Masque (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Hesketh, Kenneth
A Masque (short for Masquerade) has been defined by Historians as 'A revel in which Mummers or masked folk come with torches blazing into the festive hall and call upon the company to dance and dice' . The chaos of this dramatic dance is depicted in this 'Masque' by Hesketh. The main theme is bravura and is often present, in the background. The form of the piece is a simple scherzo-trio-scherzo. Colourful scoring (upper wind solos, trumpet and horn solos alternating with full bodied tuttis) with a dash of wildness may tease both player and listener to let their hair down a little!

£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.

£121.00Energetikos - Gary P. Gilroy
Appropriately titled, Energetikos is a wildly energetic work that will bring down the house! The opening and closing sections develop momentum by incorporating shifting time signatures, relentless ostinato passages as well as creative and unpredictable rhythms. A lyric middle section is richly scored to produce a warm, calm setting much like the eye of a hurricane before the "storm" returns. Be sure to give this a listen, its a true tour de force that will be long remembered by audiences and performers alike.
