£48.95(Do You Want) Salsa with That? - Larry Henry
Imagine a warm tropical island resort, sailboats in the distance and palm trees swaying along the beach . . . is a lighthearted Latin tune that features your "star" player.

You can enhance the rhythm section to include almost any number of Latin instruments. Solid scoring and little technical demand make this piece reachable for the youngest of bands, but the rich harmonies, beautiful melody and syncopated rhythms make it sound sophisticated for the more mature player. This is a timeless selection your audience will enjoy for years to come.

£58.00Moontowers
Used to brighten cities before electric streetlights, Moonlight Towers are rarely seen today. This impressionistic composition about these vanished structures, although written for more advanced ensembles, has only one flute, clarinet, trumpet, horn and trombone part. As a result, smaller bands can play this composition without having to look for a flex-band arrangement. Use this to develop the essential skills of syncopation and counting while also offering the security of only having one part for each instrument voice. An exciting contrasting selection for bands looking for a harmonically interesting composition, this also works well as a contest selection.
