£49.95March Chromatica - Mark Williams
Destined to become a standard of the school band repertoire, the melodies of this classic old-time 6/8 march are based on the chromatic scale. In fact, the melodies and countermelodies in the "trio" section are pure chromatic scales (moving in opposite directions), and the superb harmonization makes it sound fantastic. You have to hear it to believe it! This title is available in MakeMusic Cloud.

£66.95Blessed Are They - Johannes Brahms / arr. Clarence Barber, Barbara Buehlan
Johannes Brahms was not a religious man in the usual sense of the term, so it should be of no surprise that when he wrote the German Requiem; it did not follow the prescribed five movement form of the traditional requiem mass, but instead contained seven movements. The first time Brahms combined orchestra with chorus and soloists, it is considered to be his choral masterwork. While the style is unabashedly romantic with all the depth and beauty associated with the music of Brahms, the form is clearly influenced by Handel and reflects Brahms' intensive study of earlier masters. is the sublime first movement of the German Requeim; and the original version pairs the chorus with the orchestra to create a heavy, somber mood. This skillfully crafted arrangement for flexible instrumentation, edited by Clarence Barber, makes this work playable by as few as five players up to large bands and orchestras, and everything in between.

£53.95Western Fair - Ryan Meeboer
is an energetic, uplifting piece that can be fun for both players to perform and listeners to hear. It is composed using two main melodies that are performed in many forms, combined in various fragments and supported with different harmonic backgrounds, giving it new life each time it is heard. The piece slowly builds from a simple clarinet soli into an epic, cut-time feel in the middle before driving to an exciting ending.

£123.00Emerald Suite - Dwayne Milburn
Each of the three movements of this work uses a particular section of the North Texas State Alma Mater as its formative material, since it was commissioned in honor of Dennis Fisher and his 25 years of service to the North Texas State community. The Rondo is mostly in 7/8 and 6/8 time and is highly energetic, though it ends quietly. The Air is gentle and lyrical as it builds to powerful climax and then recedes to the same gentle mood that uses to open the movement. The March provides a perfect balance to the other movements and ends with great excitement. Each of these three movements stands well on their own and can be programmed either separately or in their entirety.

£45.95Oceanic Forces - Aric Branchfield
The forces of nature that come into play over the oceans of the earth are both awe-inspiring and fear-inducing. Yet, they remain oddly benevolent. Thus it is with this forceful work: it sounds difficult, but isn't. It is totally diatonic (three flats concert key) with conservative ranges and nothing out of reach for a first-year player.

£50.50Kingsfold
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. This beautiful folk song has been used as the melody for several popular hymns including "I Heard the Voice of Jesus Say," "O Sing a Song of Bethlehem," "I Feel the Winds of God Today," and several others. It is a beautiful work that seems to float along both melodically and harmonically. This arrangement is opened by a solo voice with a sense of a lone player on the top of a hill surrounded by mist. The tune is then played in full quartet voicing leading to other variations and re-scorings. It ends as it began, very peacefully and reflectively.
