£106.99White Light (Oboe Solo with Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Sparke, Philip
Composer Philip Sparke decided to use the idea of white to write a piece that was both bright and light in terms of harmony, colour and orchestration. He achieves this by using simple major and minor chords and emphasising the pure, transparent timbres of the upper woodwinds of the band. He was also keen to capture the essence and history of the oboe as a solo instrument. A perfect way to put your oboist in the spotlight.Duration: 5:45

£106.99Bohemian Rhapsody (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Mercury, Freddie - Sparke, Philip
Bohemian Rhapsody is undoubtedly one of the most important songs in the history of rock 'n' roll. The song defied all convention in terms of form. It has no chorus. Instead, it comprised of an introduction, ballad, guitar solo, operatic interlude, hard rock section and coda. Perhaps the most mystifying aspect of the song is the lyrics, which are commonly thought to be autobiographical, although members of the band have never fully explained them. Bring the house down with Philip Sparke's authentic arrangement!Duration: 6:30

£306.99Sinfonietta No.4 (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Sparke, Philip
Philip Sparke's Sinfonietta No. 4 is comprised of three parts that are played as an uninterrupted whole. The first movement begins with a lyrical fugato passage, framing a brisker and more rhythmical middle section. The second movement is slower and contains a long and expressive euphonium solo. The third movement is a salute to the sponsor of this commission: various percussion instruments conjure up sounds reminiscent of a carpenter's workshop, accompanied by a unison orchestral passage in a scat style.Duration: 18:45

£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.

£110.99Hail the Dragon! (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Sparke, Philip
Its title, Hail the Dragon!, references a work Philip Sparke wrote in 1984, The Year of the Dragon. The piece opens with a lively and energetic fanfare. The mood becomes more subdued in the centre section as a new theme is introduced that builds to an emotional climax. This leads into a recap of the opening fanfare which acts as a type of descant to short quotations from the last movement of The Year of the Dragon before reaching a thunderous finale.Duration: 4.45

£75.00Celebration Overture (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Lane, Philip - Noble, Paul
Celebration Overture was composed in the summer of 1976 and was given first prize judged by William Alwyn whose film scores Philip Lane has worked on for commercial recordings in the last 10 years. It is truly a celebratory piece with a dramatic pyramid opening, followed by the melodic introduction in solo clarinet, then solo trumpet, before accelerating to a rousing burst of celebration. A rich slower middle section leads into the return of celebration. This piece is included on several lists of recommended festival and contest literature. (Note: The harp part is non-essential, and may be omitted or played on electronic keyboard or piano.)
