£106.99Festival Prelude Ad Excel (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Sparke, Philip
Festival Prelude 'Ad Excel' was commissioned by the AD Concert Band, from Solihull in the UK, to celebrate their 40th Anniversary in 2016. The title, Ad Excel, is a play on words: it is Latin for 'to excel' but also celebrates the band's anniversary as XL is 40 in Roman numerals. The work opens with a bright fanfare with frequent changes of meter. This leads to a playful main subject, played first by woodwinds, followed by full band. A bridge passage leads to a legato second subject, played twice. The bridge passage returns to introduce the both main melodies in new keys and instrumentations before a coda, derived from the opening fanfare, brings the work to a close. Duration: 5.00

£110.00Prelude to Richard III (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Walton, William - Noble, Paul
In 1955, Walton received two honorary doctorates: from the Universities of Cambridge and London. He also composed this Shakespeare film music for Laurence Olivier, Richard III, one of three Shakespearean film scores by Walton. The music in Prelude to Richard III is not duplicated in A Shakespeare Suite from Richard III which follows next in sequence. Each piece is a complement to the other, and would be a perfect pair on a concert program.

£91.99Prelude on an Irish Folk Tune (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Sparke, Philip
The Irish folk tune, which appears towards the end of the piece, is Slane, a hymn tune version of the much older folk melody The Banks of the Bann. In Prelude on an Irish Folk Tune, fragments of the folk tune hint at what is to come later in the piece, but another folk-like tune is predominant. This later acts as a descant to Slane when it finally appears. Add a little Sparke sparkle to any concert with this lovely interlude.Duration: 4:00

£74.95Prelude for an Occasion (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Gregson, Edward
This curtain raiser sets a lively mood by bursting into a fanfare, followed by a short bouncing figure and a lively clarinet solo.
