£70.50Cantos - Donald Coakley
Another exciting composition by an exciting Canadian composer. Donald Coakley wrote Cantos in the 1970s and has now corrected previous errors in print and altered some sections. The title Cantos derives from that form of poetry in which a poem, in many cases epic in nature, consists of many short verses. The four movements are very short and contain interesting material for all players. Originally conceived as a piece for wind ensemble, this piece would work well in either a wind ensemble or concert band setting.

This beautiful and lyrical Chinese folksong features the talents of a flute player from within the ensemble.

£70.50Tribal Dance (from ) - Mikhail Ippolitov-Ivanov / arr. David Marlatt
Tribal Dance is a technical showpiece for the woodwinds. Its slow opening features the sax section and then proceeds to a rhythmic triplet figure which gradually accelerates to a furious tempo at the conclusion. The title of the piece is actually Lesghinka as it has been taken from the Iveria Suite of Ippolitov-Ivanov. Tight ensemble playing, rustic percussion parts and exciting technical parts make this a piece to demonstrate the control of an ensemble.

£50.50On the Open Sea - Carmen Gassi
provides ultimate flexibility for ensembles with incomplete instrumentation or odd combinations. These pieces are playable by as few as 5 woodwind, brass, or string players with or without percussion. This creates the opportunity for a mixed quintet to perform these titles but also allows for performance for 10-15 players up to full a band/orchestra with parts doubling. Great for music camps, contest use or any band room that has non-standard instrumentation. Hoist the sails and get ready to take your young ensemble---a tuneful melody with care given to foster strong ensemble playing. There are a lot of teachable music moments in this piece and the opportunity for your percussion section to try some different things.

£150.00Sonics - Donald Coakley
This spectacular piece, commissioned by the Markham District High School Wind Symphony, Bill Thomas conductor, is a large-scale dramatic work for concert band. Chromatic harmonies and dissonant intervals create tension and excitement. Mr. Coakley's brilliant writing for the many band pieces he has done has reached a pinnacle with this new composition. Sonics is around 12 minutes in length and touches on a variety of compositional techniques. Within the sonata-allegro form themes are introduced and developed throughout the ensemble. Contrapuntal elements as well as many meter changes (7/8, 5/8) keeps the pace of the piece quick and energetic. This is a monumental addition to concert band literature and will quickly find it's place with other Grade 6 level band pieces. The composer describes this work as "acidy" and that term seems to best capture the mood of the piece. Sonics is a very difficult work that would prove to be a challenge for a university/college level ensemble. Professional bands may also consider this piece because of the virtuosity that is required from all players.
