£107.95SPECTRUM (Prestige Concert Band Set) - Vinter, Gilbert - Newton, Rodney
Score and Parts. SPECTRUM. This work caused much consternation when it was used as the brass band test piece at the 1969 British Open Competition. The score is an uncompromising one and as colourful as its title suggests. The various episodes of the work are each named after a colour from the spectrum - Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo and Purple (changed from Violet when Vinter became conscious of his failing health). It is a piece of violent mood swings challenging all sections of the band. Many consider this to be the finest of Vinter's small output for band. Duration: 12:40 Recorded on Polyphonic QPRM151D Time Lines (Great British Music for Wind Band Vol.12)

Variations on a French Folksong (Wind Band - Score and Parts)
The variation form is one of the oldest and most fundamental forms of musical technique. Franco Cesarini has chosen the well known French folk melody, Sur le pont d'Avignon as the basis for this piece. The piece begins with a short introduction followed by the exposition and ten lively and contrasting variations. The final reminder of the main theme also included references to the famous French nursery songs J'ai du bon tabac and Alouette, which bring the work to an expressive and brilliant close.Duration7:00

£53.95Pavane (Pour Une Infante Defunte) - Maurice Ravel / arr. Robert W. Smith
This hauntingly beautiful piece is one of Maurice Ravel's most popular piano works. Robert W. Smith's transcription for winds contrasts a 'music box' effect in bells and triangle against the dynamic rise and fall of the winds. Written as a contest/festival/concert work, it will also serve as a warmup chorale. A great teaching piece!

£45.95Giant's Lair - Kevin Clary
An edgy and exciting piece for very young band to perform on one of their first concerts. The melodic material in the outer sections portrays an agitated giant stomping around violently, and the middle section simulates an unfortunate visitor to his cave tip-toeing around in an attempt to avoid being spotted. The form of the piece is intuitive and memorable while only using five notes. Young students will learn it quickly, and it can be prepared for a concert in a reasonably short amount of time.
