£64.50El Capitan - John Philip Sousa / arr. Jack Bullock
When one thinks of "marches," one almost automatically thinks of John Philip Sousa. Perhaps the greatest march writer of all time, he composed literally hundreds of these works. El Capitan ranks high in his list of classics. The first several strains are written in six-eight, and the last strains in two-four, giving a unique change of character. This scoring has reduced the technical difficulties while keeping the integrity of this well-known work. (2:21)

£66.95Spontaneous Combustion - Robert Sheldon
A fast-paced tour-de-force for developing bands, "Spontaneous Combustion" explodes out of the starting blocks and keeps moving relentlessly to the last note. Presented in a minor key with shifting tonalities and tuneful melodies, this musical juggernaut eventually yields to a major key, which only amplifies its inherent energy. Mixed meters and bombastic percussion help to drive the piece to the very end. This title is available in MakeMusic Cloud.

£60.50The Seventh Resolution - Roland Barrett
In the final days of November, as the nights grew longer and the vicious North winds began to pound the embattled city, the kingdom was rapidly nearing its darkest hour. As enemy forces threatened from every side, the exhausted council gathered in the great hall for one final desperate meeting. With all hope waning, with all other options exhausted, and with one last chance to save his people, the king summoned all remaining forces and invoked The Seventh Resolution. A contemporary bold work! (4:30)

£73.50Sunburst - Erik Morales
Depicting the awe-inspiring moments after a thunderstorm, this concert overture is an exciting and dramatic work that portrays streaks of sunlight jetting toward the horizon. A lyrical opening sets the tone as the clouds begin to break, and then the music takes off in a frenzy of excitement as the sunlight breaks through. Incredible harmonies intertwine with dynamic fanfares and woodwind flourishes as the work continues to develop. A lyrical section provides a brief respite to the active rhythmic pulse before the music takes off again, building to one last heroic statement of the main theme. Inspirational!

£54.95Creepers in the Castle - Ralph Ford
What would a creepy piece be if not in a minor key?

Great time to reinforce the concept that accidentals last a whole measure. With careful attention to dynamics and articulations, you're certain to have a spooktacular performance! (2:00)

£92.50Fusion - Brian Balmages
Just as its title suggests, this three-movement contemporary work draws from various types of pop music and dance forms, and sets them in a symphonic framework. The opening movement, Overture, is a short fanfare based loosely on Irish dance rhythms and melodies. The second movement, Ballad, receives its inspiration from various aspects of pop ballads, though no direct references are made. Dense harmonies and interesting textures play an important role throughout the movement. The final movement, Fusion, is a literal combination of rock, funk, swing, and classical in a contemporary setting. Intense and driving, this is an excellent concert finale! You may even want to consider performing the last movement alone as an encore.
