£48.95More Cowbell - Mark Williams
was inspired by the famous television skit featuring a rock band, a record producer, and an over-zealous cowbell player. If the cowbell player is good at hamming it up (and rocking out!), you could try the following staging suggestions: Cowbell player plays with intensity and lots of movement, and starts moving in measure 17 toward the front of the band, ending up next to the conductor in measure 24, bowing to the audience on beat 4. Conductor gives a stern look and gestures to student to get back in the percussion section (possibilities: "slit throat" gesture with side of first finger followed by pointing forcefully to the back, or similar gestures). Student slinks back, starts playing cowbell again, but quietly this time. Playing gradually picks up intensity, and player starts again toward the front in measure 41, reaching the front by measure 48. In measure 48, either A) Conductor waves hands violently for student to stop, or B) have a couple of students place a large blanket over the cowbell player. This works, but only for one measure (player quits and doesn't move in bar 49). Cowbell player resumes playing with a vengeance in measure 50 (either in spite of the teacher or under the blanket!). Make sure your new "rock star" takes another bow at the end of the piece. Have fun, and may your life always have more cowbell! Correlated with , page 27. This title is available in MakeMusic Cloud.

£64.50Selections from - Hans Zimmer and James Newton Howard / arr. Douglas E. Wagner
Douglas Wagner has captured all the excitement and energy of Hans Zimmer and James Newton Howard's score to the long-awaited sequel to The piece opens with gothic sonorities that give way to themes associated with the complex character of district attorney Harvey Dent. In an abrupt change of mood, the chase is on as The Joker continues his well-orchestrated spree of mass mayhem and murder. Rounding out the arrangement, Batman himself leaves his mark as Gotham City's silent sentinel. Solidly scored at the young band level, the medley includes: HARVEY TWO-FACE, INTRODUCE A LITTLE ANARCHY and A DARK KNIGHT. Just like the film, this is one arrangement not to miss!

£45.95Equus - Erik Morales
Equus, Latin for "horse," takes us on a thrilling ride on one of these magnificent animals. Wood blocks help create the sound of the horse as the ensemble comes along for the ride. A serene section at the same tempo almost seems to slow the ride down, so listeners can take the time to appreciate the scenery around them. The opening material then returns as the piece comes to a strong conclusion.
