Jazz Suite No. 2 - Dance II - Dimitri Shostakovich
In 1938 Shostakovich composed his Second Jazz Suite at the request of the recently founded State Orchestra for Jazz conducted by Victor Knushevitsky. This suite was originally scored for a complete symphony orchestra to which four saxophones, an accordion and a guitar had been added. The Jazz Suite no. 1 in three movements, composed in 1934, had been written for a smaller ensemble. The title 'Jazz Suite' is rather misleading, as the composer definitely uses the style of light music. Back in 1928, the twenty-two-year-old Shostakovich had already composed some light music. A bet among friends to make an orchestration of the popular song 'Tea for Two' in less then one hour time, causedhim to compose 'Tahiti Trot'. Shostakovich easily won the bet as he completed the original and witty arrangement within only forty minutes!

£60.50Follow the Star - Ed Huckeby
A great selection to get your "packed house" for the holiday concert! This original Christmas tune may be performed by the band alone, or with a unison chorus, two-part chorus or soloist. The melody and lyrics are simple and very singable, requiring little rehearsal by a young ensemble, music class or "future star," and is accessible to children's choruses. This unique selection will add that "extra touch" to your concert, and has the potential to generate an "automatic" audience of parents, grandparents and friends. Great holiday fare!

£78.99A Friend Remembered - James Swearingen
Noted composer James Swearingen offers a personal tribute to a dear friend's passing with this highly emotional work. Beautiful themes coupled with the hymn, All Hail the Power of Jesus' Name, provide the perfect opportunity to reflect on the importance of people who touch our daily lives. You'll appreciate the way this popular composer scores his music, and the inclusion of an optional handbell choir for four people is a creative addition to a piece that is simply stunning in its overall design. Very uplifting and very appropriate for any school or band that recently has lost a "friend."

And May We All - Swearingen
This beautiful composition was commissioned to provide purpose, direction, and comfort for two individual High School Band programs from the same district during the years 2020 - 2021. Virtual learning was established and weekly meetings took place between conductors, students, and composer to collaborate on how the piece would be created. Later, the finished product was premiered individually by both ensembles and a large contingent of family, friends, and school officials were able to share in the positive experience of hearing the music performed in a live setting. Very emotional!

Remembrance - Larry Daehn
A beautiful "In Memoriam" piece reminiscent of the composer's "A Song for Friends." A gorgeous 3/4 melody emerges from the low voices, is joined by an ethereal woodwind choir, develops into a majestic, noble utterance, and then fades into quietness. A tender piece to remember someone in your school or community. Touching and beautiful!
