£75.00Shepherd's Pipe Carol (Concert Band with Optional Choir - Score and Parts) - Rutter, John - Noble, Paul
Anyone who listens to the radio or attends a concert during the holiday season will certainly hear the Shepherd's Pipe Carol. It has become one of John Rutter's most popular carols. This arrangement is written and intended for combined Wind Band and Chorus. However, it is also arranged so that it is complete with Wind Band alone. The choral part is shown in the conductor's score, but is not a part of the instrumental packet. The arrangement is compatible with the published vocal score. The scoring is done with some cue size notations that should be played if performing without the chorus. This will make a delightful addition to any Christmas or seasonal concert.

£110.00Four Welsh Dances, Set 1 (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Hoddinott, Alun - Noble, Paul
The 1958 Welsh Dances of Alun Hoddinott are short, pithy and laced with zest. The second in particular is a charmer, especially zesty, and its scoring is deftly apposite for its purpose, the Arnoldian tinges quite clear. It is also well-suited for Concert Band performance with so much colour that one scarcely misses the strings. This set of dances will be an important addition to the repertoire of Symphonic Bands and Wind Ensembles.

£110.00Investiture Dances (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Hoddinott, Alun - Noble, Paul
These dances were written to commemorate the Investiture of Prince Charles as Prince of Wales, at Caernarfon Castle, in July 1969. Written to a commission from the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra (who premiered this work on 22 June 1969), the Investiture Dances are based on characteristics of Welsh folk music rather than specific pre-existing tunes. Band directors will find the Investiture Dances to be completely idiomatic of the Concert Band, with the music appropriate for concert and festival performance. The arrangement offers consistent performance requirements for all sections of the band, with exciting percussion interest. Each movement is based on the mixolydian mode, and are in a key compatible to wind instruments.

£110.00Lyric Dances (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Lane, Philip - Noble, Paul
Lyric Dances is one of Philip Lane's more recent compositions (2008). Since the movements relate so directly to each other, and are not practically stand-alone movements, the composer suggested that they be offered as a unit. Lyric Dances encompasses a variety of moods: inquisitive, somber, joyful, dramatic, to frivolous. The original score was written for small orchestra; the band version therefore has considerable doubling of parts, yet remaining true to the composer's colourful orchestration. Small to large bands should be very successful with this piece, and it is sure to have both educational value and audience appeal.

£110.00March for A History of the English-Speaking Peoples (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Walton, William - Noble, Paul
In 1959, William Walton was commissioned to compose music for the opening and closing credits of a television series based on Winston Churchill's History of the English-speaking Peoples. The resulting work, March for the History of the English-Speaking Peoples, was recorded by the London Symphony Orchestra in May of that year and later published by Oxford University Press. However, the television project never materialised, and consequently Walton's score, which might have become one of his more familiar among popular audiences through television exposure, was all but forgotten. With the moderate surge in popularity that Walton's music enjoyed in the last decade of the twentieth century, this and other little-known pieces have become available for consideration. Concert Bands will enjoy the majesty and drama of this piece, very appropriate for concerts, ceremonies, and graduations.

£295.00Partita (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Rutter, John - Noble, Paul
Xylophones ahoy! John Rutter's Partita of 1976, is not a piece you might necessarily have expected from the renowned composer of some of the classics of contemporary sacred choral music. Yet this is a giant of a piece that allows everyone in the ensemble to truly shine, and one which surely will become a significant addition to the repertoire of the Concert Band. With hints of Gershwin, and filled with joy, majesty, wonder, and power, it will excite your ensemble and capture your audience. The original orchestra composition was written for, and dedicated to, the London Junior Orchestra.

£140.00Prelude and Fugue (The Spitfire) (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Walton, William - Noble, Paul
The Prelude and Fugue (The Spitfire) by William Walton, written to accompany the film, The First of the Few, was the film story of the designer of the Spitfire fighter aircraft, R. J. Mitchell. This work was lifted, almost bodily out of the film score: exceptionally (for film music) it needed hardly any modification to turn it into a first-rate concert piece. The prelude, called by Stephen Lloyd one of Walton's finest marches, is the music heard over the opening credit titles in the movie. A central lyrical solo depicts the exhaustion and dying by illness of the aircraft's designer R. J. Mitchell. The fugue is used to describe the making of the Spitfire, and then the patriotic march returns joined with the fugue to mark the completion of the fighter aircraft. The majestic march-like drama of the Prelude is well-suited for graduation and other ceremonial events, and the total piece is a tour de force for contest performance.
