£139.99Suite on Celtic Folk Songs - Tomohiro Tatebe
This suite for wind band consists of three Old Irish melodies: "March" is a traditional Irish march of slower 6/8 beat. Led by a characteristically accented drum, the drone effect of a Uilleann bagpipe rings through for an air of courage. Next is a beautiful and nostalgic theme titled "Yellow Village Gate" in Gaelic, the first language of Ireland. Here, a solo piccolo presents the image of a simple fife. "Reel" is a typical Irish dance of very quick tempo. Maintaining the pace from beginning to end, intensified motion combining duple and 6/8 meter drives through to the coda's bold conclusion. (Tomohiro Tatebe)

Get on Board - Stephen Bulla
Stephen Bulla strikes gold again with this accessible but jazzy Trombone section feature. There is plenty of rhythmic fun for everyone while the trombones get that important time out front. The old spiritual "The Gospel Train" lends itself beautifully to a swing-jazz treatment and if there's anyone who knows how to bring the jazz idiom to the concert band setting it's Stephen Bulla. If you prefer, two Trombone soloists can be featured while the rest of the section plays along on the Euphonium part. Your band will want to do this one again and again, and so will you, so Get On Board!

Cartoon Capers - Stephen Bulla
All right. Admit it. When you were a kid, some of your favorite music came from cartoonland. Who knows? It may have been cartoons that first introduced you to your favorite classical masters. Would Rossini's "William Tell Overture" be what it is today had there been no cartoons? Isn't the glissando the REAL reason your Trombone section decided to play that particular instrument? Treat yourself, your band, and your audience to some good old animated goofiness, a few merry melodies, and a lot of slapstick fun. They'll love it. What could be more fun than Stephen Bulla's CARTOON CAPERS?

Symphony No. 40 in G Minor - Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Mozart belongs to everyone! The experience of actually playing Mozart's music makes him real and more than just a name we associate with old music. Stephen Bulla's arrangement of the first movement of what may arguably be Mozart's greatest symphony has a great deal of authenticity. Much more than many "just the tune" type transcription/ arrangements, Mr. Bulla's work ambitiously explores a good portion of Mozart's miraculous musical development, so that your musicians can begin to understand the true genius of the Classical icon. Those who know Mozart will appreciate the integrity of the transcription. Those who don't know Mozart have a wonderful treat in store!A classic!

£84.99A Gospel Christmas - Stephen Bulla
You've got to love it when Stephen Bulla goes Gospel! Your musicians surely will! The slow introductory section sets up the audience for a rousing good time when the band suddenly lets rip with hand-clapping up-tempo Gospel sounds. Rhythmic and filled with amazingly creative harmonic ideas, this superb arrangement takes O Come Emmanuel, Adeste Fidelis, and Handel's Hallelujah Chorus places that you probably never imagined they could go. Conductors seeking high-quality new and entertaining literature for the Christmas concert have come to the right place. Definitely NOT the "same old" Christmas arrangement!
