£84.95A Fugal Concerto (Flute, Oboe And Small Wind Band) (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Holst, Gustav - Brand, Geoffrey
This work was originally written for flute, oboe (or two violins) and String Orchestra in 1923. This arrangement was premiered by the Stockholm Symphonic Winds in September 1993, conducted by the arranger. The style of A Fugal Concerto is very much neo-classical - all the rage at the time, although whether Holst had heard Stravinsky's examples is not known. In so far as the work is fugal, the adjective applies more to the texture than the form, although the second movement is canonic. The contrapuntal texture is not straightforward as phrases are displaced across barlines and cross rhythms are a feature. Nothing is allowed to settle until the folk tune is introduced toward the end. Yet, within this musical web, fascinating patterns and cross references reveal themselves.

£74.95Circus Suite (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Johnson, Stuart
All the excitement of the Big Top is contained within four short movements, but the safety net is well in place in the shape of ample cross-cuing. This is longer than the average "easy" piece and slightly more difficult, presenting a real musical challenge, but the minimal necessary instrumentation still applies, and of course Johnson, Stuart's superb scoring ensures its effectiveness. The second movement features the tuba, and the third movement features alto saxophone (cued into horn).

£49.95Trumpet Classics (Trumpet Solo) (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Johnson, Stuart
Trumpet Tune - John Stanley (1713-1786) was an English organist and composer despite being blinded by an accident when he was only two years old, He learned music when he was seven and held several prestigious appointments as organist in London churches. He wrote Masques, Concertos for Strings, and three sets of Organ Voluntaries. Andante from Trumpet Concerto - This is the second movement of the well known Trumpet Concerto written in 1796 when Haydn was 64: a mature work therefore. Johnson, Stuart has cleverly transposed the piece into F Major (G Major for the Trumpet) and also replaced the original 6/8 with 6/4, making notation more accessible for younger players.

£189.99Manhattan Pictures (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Van der Roost, Jan
In this colourful composition, Jan van der Roost recreates the energetic and multi-racial city life in Manhattan, using four contrasting movements. The opening movement is rather short and rhythmical. In the second "Picture", a variety of musical entities accumulate into a coloured "sound curtain", on top of which the brass section presents a broad theme. In contrast to the two previous movements, the third movement is extremely quiet, featuring the first flute, clarinet an oboe in broad melodies. Again, the orchestration plays an essential role. Following on a majestic "tutti" (almost "movie-like....) the serenity of the very beginning reappears. Finally, the nervousness and dynamic style of the two first movements come back in an exciting apotheosis with rich and sometimes surprising instrumentation which explores the multiple possibilities of the large symphonic wind band to the full.Duration: 13.00

£98.00Waltz No.2 (from Jazz Suite No.2) (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Shostakovich, Dmitri - De Meij, Johan
In 1938 Shostakovich composed his Second Jazz Suite at the request of the recently founded State Orchestra for Jazz conducted by Victor Knushevitsky. This suite was originally scored for a complete symphony orchestra to which four saxophones, an accordion and a guitar had been added. The Jazz Suite no. 1 in three movements, composed in 1934, had been written for a smaller ensemble. The title 'Jazz Suite' is rather misleading, as the composer definitely uses the style of light music.Duration: 3:45
