£55.50Swingin' Bell Carol - Mykola Leontovych / arr. Michael Story
The inspiration of this setting comes from Ukrainian composer Mykola Leontovych's original 1914 work for mixed choir, which demonstrates both his sacred and nationalistic style. The four-note ostinato is known by several different titles and performed in a wide variety of styles including classical, metal, country, rock, and pop, and, with this jazz setting, the original takes on yet another new flavor.

£45.95The Bronze Age - Frank McKinney
The Bronze Age saw the invention of the wheel, the ox-drawn plow, and the first uses of metal. This dramatic and expressive composition introduces the key of concert D minor, yet easily remains within the grade 0.5 range. There are simple two-note slurs, dynamics from pp to ff, and colorful lines for every player. Unusual harmonies and melodies with supportive percussion make this a good choice for teaching a wide range of musical concepts to developing bands. Written by Frank McKinney for concert band.

£73.50L'Esprit du Tour: A Fanfare for Lance - Randol Alan Bass
This remarkable piece captures the excitement, physical challenge, intensity and, ultimately, the thrill and sense of accomplishment a rider might experience during such a grueling and demanding physical trial as Le Tour de France. Both tonal and non-tonal compositional materials, some indeterminate and serial techniques, special percussion (a six-tom-tom cluster, heavy chains and four metal plates) along with traditional and non-traditional development procedures are used --impressing upon listeners, through sound, a sense and feel of competitive bicycling, from the point of view of the athletes themselves. In hopes of imbuing the music with the flavor of the various cultures coming together for this contest, the composition contains extant source material as well -- including La Marsellaise, The Star-Spangled Banner and a brief reference to The Eyes of Texas.
