£84.99Mah Na, Mah Na
The Italian film music composer Piero Umiliani originally composed Mah Na Mah Na in 1968 for the soundtrack of the Swedish movie Sweden - Heaven or Hell. However the piece only became a hit in the 1970s, when Jim Henson used the catchy melody in his children's TV series The Muppet Show and Sesame Street. Stefan Schwalgin has produced this excellent version to give baritone saxophonists, who sometimes feel left out by the band's repertoire, a platform for their soloistic development. This gem is full of little musical surprises and will hold a special place in your bands repertoire.

£62.95The Good Daughter - Niccolo Piccini / arr. Eric Osterling
NICCOLO PICCINI (1728 - 1800), an Italian operatic composer, was born in Bari, but in Naples asserted his talent for music at an early age, entering the Conservatory at the age of 14. His opera buffa La Buona Figiuloa (The Good Daughter), which appeared in 1779, began a war between his followers and the Gluckists, who favored the reformed method of opera. Piccini was a prolific composer; in addition to opera, he wrote songs and much sacred music, including masses. His works are charming and melodious and show him to be a man of great genius. This transcription for band of the overture from The Good Daughter has been completed by Eric Osterling.
