First Christmas Suite - Mike Hannickel
Beginners LOVE to feel like they are playing "REAL MUSIC", even at that first winter performance. These simple arrangements of well-known carols let your students do just that. AND - the "suite" format let's you draw the beginning band's entire share of that first concert from one arrangement, if you like, saving on scarce music library funds. The sound of "Good King Wenceslas" and "Oh Come Little Children" belies the simplicity of the arrangements, and "Jolly Old St. Boogie-Claus" is just plain "riff-style" fun! They'll love this one!!

Mondo Glissando - Mike Hannickel
Slip-slidin' trombone smears in this rip-snortin' ragtime setting are sure to tickle your ears and put some tap in your toes. The trombone glissando is the happiest sound around! Dedicated to, and premiered by, the Westchester Middle School Band of Westchester, Illinois, Mr. Jason Kluge, director, MONDO GLISSANDO targets that most critical of wind sections. When was the last time you featured your trombones? When was the last time they felt like STARS? Section feature pieces are one of the most important techniques available for keeping a section strong and well represented. MONDO GLISSANDO can even be used as a trombone SOLO piece, by having the non-solo trombones play from thetechnically simpler euphonium part.Either way, section or solo, there's nothing like an exposed part on an upcoming performance to reinvigorate a musician's interest and encourage that all-important PRACTICE!

£89.99Serenade Romantic - Joseph Turrin
This exceptionally unique work by Joseph Turrin is composed in memory of Howard Hanson, one of the 20th century's greatest proponents of American music. While decidedly modern in sound, the mood of this piece adheres to Hanson's own belief in the value of "warm blooded music" rather than the pursuit of coldly abstract, purely cerebral music. Hanson's influence on 20th century music and the post-Romantic style is clearly evident in SERENADE ROMANTIC.If you've ever wished for something genuinely different for your higher level group to explore you owe it to yourself to check out this remarkable piece.

Transfiguration - James Curnow
James Curnow explores many domains of sound with this wonderful piece. Four extensive variations, based on the melody of the hymn All Praise to You, Oh Lord, together form a beautiful piece of music for use in church services. The composer has a fresh view of the theme in the various fragments of the melody, from ethereal reflections to passionate joy. The last variation starts softly but energetically, and keeps developing using the last phrase of the melody - until the majestic highlight of this glorious hymn begins.

£53.50Scenes of Russia - Elliot Del Borgo
The well-known folksong Meadowlands is the basis for this spectacular Russian fantasy. The cantabile opening is particularly nice for the woodwinds, and all the parts are quite playable for bands at the easy level. The bold nature of the melody allows the brass to open up their sound a bit, while the con spirito section offers interesting counterpoint and exciting rhythms. A general sense of the bleakness of a Russian landscape in winter, and the strength and determination of the Russian people, comes through.

The Great Highland Pipes - Mike Hannickel
Two melodies in the Scottish style meet head-on in this energetic new arrangement. Your students will love the "bagpipe sound" and rhythmic color of the Scottish "snap". This arrangement can also be used with young bands as a lesson in the concept of counterpoint. Each of the two main themes is clearly stated on its own, but remarkable things happen when they are played together. Through skillful selection of themes and contrapuntal composition, Mike Hannickel does a masterful job of melding these contrasting songs into a unified and energetic adventure into the Highlands.Fun to play, and a great style study!

Aardvark Parade - Graydon A. Toms
You can almost smell the aardvarks! Oh, no, wait. The kids had P.E. just before band rehearsal. Never mind.Seriously though, this cheerful and engaging new piece by Graydon Toms is a sure winner for every Grade 1 1/2 band. Big areas of contrast between the upper Woodwinds and the Brass and Saxophone combination ensure that each player feels important to the group, while an easy change of tempo near the end helps the piece sound harder than it plays.Whimsical!
