Prima la Musica (Concert Band - Score and Parts)
This work describes the development of a local village band as it grows in both size and ability to become a symphonic wind band. It is dedicated to all orchestras that follow the same, sometimes hard, road. No matter what, the focus should always be the music, providing us with the energy and motivation we need along the way! With this in mind the march Prima la Musica reflects a spirit of change and optimism from the first to the last note. 04:30

PURCELL VARIANTS (Advanced Concert Band) - Meechan, Peter
Purcell Variants is based on Purcell's Queen Mary's Funeral Music, which consists of four canzonas, two elegies and an anthem. The first movement begins by sounding some of Purcell's original music in the trombones and horns, underpinned by a timpani roll with the woodwind articulating the beginnings and endings of the phrases. This leads into a cadenza for trumpet and alto saxophone before the movement heads in different directions, leading us to its mysterious end, where the original music is sounded this time in the 'stabs' of the clarinets and alto saxophone. Originally composed for the funeral of Queen Mary in 1695, Purcell's original funeral music was used later that same year for Purcell's own funeral - he died aged only 34. The second movement is an elegy, inspired by this story. After an introduction (a disjointed last post), the main melody of the movement is introduced by the solo euphonium, with other solo roles for flute, oboe and alto saxophone. This is then taken over by the trumpets who lead us into the middle section of the movement. This is a quasi funeral march, inspired by the image of Purcell's coffin being taken to its final resting point. The main melody returns in the flute, oboe and alto saxophone, this time more elaborated. The movement ends with a snare drum fading away - perhaps a metaphor. The Finale is a fast and furious movement combining thematic material from the two previous movements with new rhythmical ideas. This takes us through to the final passage - the triumphant return of Purcell's original theme. Duration: 13.00

£89.99Remembrance Day (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Gould, Morton
Premiered by the University of Connecticut Wind Ensemble in the presence of President Clinton, Gould's last large work for wind ensemble is a striking mood piece that conveys a melancholic feeling. A haunting marimba solo opens this work that challenges players with its spare exposed textures and wide dynamic range. President Clinton called it "a treasure."Duration: 9:00

£69.95SALUTE TO GEORGE M. COHAN (Programme Concert Band) - Keeley, Ed
This medley presents four of the biggest Cohan hits: I'm a Yankee Doodle Dandy; Mary's a Grand Old Name; Give My Regards to Broadway; Over There. This last title has had great prominence in the UK recently with a pseudo operatic performance being used for a successful TV insurance advertisement 'Go Compare'. This took the song back to its roots as the first recording of it was by the great Italian tenor, Caruso.

Scherzpolka (Concert Band - Score and Parts)
In the somewhat sarcastic Scherzpolka (Joke Polka), the composer does not intend to make fun of Alpine traditions and music but rather of the typical social attitude that does not always do justice to the valuable folk music and culture. Imagine a band that has to play in a beer tent for hours. During the performance the guests treat the musicians to one beer after another. Gradually, the players and the conductor lose control over their instruments and their interpretation of the music. Finally, the performance comes to an end: the Scherzpolka is actually the last piece. There are no limits to the creativity in both the visual and musical aspects during a performance of the Scherzpolka! 02:30
