£134.99Nuclear Power - Otto M. Schwarz
It can be neither seen nor heard, but it is forever present and can make us ill or even kill us: the reality of atomic radiation. The most devastating recent nuclear catastrophes have doubtless been those in Chernobyl (1986) and Fukushima (2011). The composer expresses through a musical message that putting faith in the safety of nuclear energy may be mankind's most fatal error.

£289.99Bulgarian Dances (part II) - Franco Cesarini
Bulgarian folk music has a long tradition and numerous typical characteristics, such as particular dissonances and complex, irregular rhythms. In Bulgarian Dances (Part II) (which can be performed together with the previously published title Bulgarian Dances) Franco Cesarini has preserved the original spirit of Bulgarian folk music, yet has imbued it with a symphonic character and brought it into the concert hall. The three different movements give us a meditative, moving folksong and a lively dance, before a distinctly symphonic part leads to a glittering finale.

£104.99Music for a Hero - Thomas Doss
There have always been heroes, big and small. This composition is dedicated to all those heroes who are committed to whatever it may be through a strong conviction; those who have ideals and who stand up for them; those who live their dreams; and finally those 'everyday heroes' who undertake their little deeds behind the scenes and receive no thanks for it. These heroes are everywhere, but they often shun the limelight.

£189.99Spotlights - Thomas Doss
Spotlights is a fantastic virtuoso piece for saxophone quartet (SATB) and concert band that was commissioned by the outstanding Austrian saxophone quartet Mobilis. It is an impressive and exceptionally spectacular piece in which every member of the saxophone family is featured. The most important ingredients of this solo work are virtuosity, rhythm and a good dollop of funk. It is a challenging, but rewarding piece for your saxophone soloists and yet very accessible to the audience.

£76.99Clockwork - Thomas Doss
In vivid, imaginative musical pictures Clockwork tells the story of a young girl who finds it hard to get up in the mornings: Every evening Barbara sets her alarm so that she doesn't sleep in and isn't late for school.Today, as usual, she cant make it, and lets her alarm ring again and again. She dozes off and dreams of lovely things - landscapes and stories - while time flies by and the clock continues to tick. As the big living room clock loudly strikes eight, however, she jumps up, startled - school has already begun! Now she'll be late again...

£274.99Pilgrim Concerto - Thomas Doss
The Pilgrim Concerto, written for the 2012 World Music Contest Kerkrade, is a highly demanding yet rewarding work for alto saxophone and wind band. It is one of a series of spiritual works by the composer which also includes Symphony inGreen. Sometimes minimalistic and at other times romantic, it describes a pilgrim who is at times calmy meditative, but also full of anxious impatience to reach his goal.

£172.50Edgar - Giacomo Puccini
Edgar was Giacomo Puccini's second opera but despite numerous changes and adaptations, it was never able to match the success enjoyed by his first opera Le Villi. Puccini himself was never completely satisfied with the opera either. It was not until the 1970's, after the first release of a recording of the work, that Edgar gained in popularity and recognition. Johan de Meij has created this fabulous concert band arrangement of this much under-performed work.

£152.99To A New Dawn - Philip Sparke
To A New Dawn was commissioned by the United States Continental Army Band - Captain Timothy J. Holtan, Commander and Conductor.The brief was for a piece to celebrate the 3rd Millennium and it was the composer's aim to provide a work which, as well as looking forward to the challenges of the new century, also contained moments of reflection about the last one.After a bright introduction featuring the trumpets a perky theme, passing quickly through several keys, appears on the woodwinds. A solo trumpet takes up a new theme over bubbling quavers (eighth notes) and this leads to a rhythmic figure on low clarinets, followed by the upper woodwinds. A brass interlude follows and, after ashort bridge passage, an oboe takes up a contrasting legato tune that builds to a climax.An andante section follows with solos for horn and flugel horn (or trumpet) and a florid flute cadenza. A passionate climax leads back to the faster music and, eventually, to a full recapitulation, revisiting the earlier material before a lively coda close the work as it began.

£176.50Four Norfolk Dances - Philip Sparke
Norfolk is one of the most beautiful counties in England, famous for its charming villages and boundless broads, a popular centre for sailing holidays. It is also the home of one of the best known of all British composers, Sir Malcolm Arnold. The date of the premiere of this piece was to fall close to his 80th birthday, so Philip Sparke decided to write something of a birthday tribute. Some of Arnold's best-loved orchestral works are his sets of dances: there are two sets of English Dances, Four Scottish Dances, Four Cornish Dances etc., most of which have been arranged for concert band at one time or another. Philip Sparke thought it would be appropriate for the concert band tohave its own set of dances and wrote Four Norfolk Dances very much in the style of Arnold's suites.

£87.99Clarinet Calypso - Philip Sparke
Music from the Caribbean is instantly recognisable. It somehow conveys sunshine and lazy summers and is full of the 'feel-good' factor. It is this infectious happiness that composer Philip Sparke has tried to capture in Clarinet Calypso.
