£45.00Thirty to Tango (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Matthews, David
This tango was originally composed in 1990 as the fourth movement of the composer's Fourth Symphony. It was intended there as a modern equivalent of the classical minuet. The tango is the most alluring of contemporary dances, and a number of arrangements of it exist, including ones for solo piano and for various chamber ensembles. This version for thirty (or more) players was arranged in 1999 by the composer especially for the Faber Wind Band Series.

£289.99Rhapsody in Blue (Piano Feature with Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Gershwin, George - Takahashi, Tohru
George Gershwin's music combines musical styles heard in the United States at the beginning of this century such as jazz and blues, with aspects of European classical music. Gershwin's breakthrough came in 1924 with Rhapsody in Blue. Following several versions of this piece Gershwin made what is probably the best known arrangement - for piano and symphony orchestra. Takahashi has created a further new and exciting version for wind orchestra.Duration: 17:30

£84.50Purgatorio (from The Divine Comedy) (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Smith, Robert W.
This appearance of Purgatorio marks the second movement of Robert W. Smith's first symphony for band, The Divine Comedy. Following the hugely successful introduction of the other three movements, Purgatorio leads us through a contemplation of Purgatory. Seldom has the launching of a work for concert band more quickly captured the attention of the band director community. Multiple all-state, honor band, conference and convention performances have already taken place and are firmly scheduled into the future. This is a truly monumental work that lifts the wind band genre to new levels. Duration: 7.00

£189.99Godzilla Eats Las Vegas (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Whitacre, Eric
Note from Composer:It took me seven years to get my bachelor's degree from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. By the time I graduated I was ready to eat Las Vegas.Tom Leslie asked me to write another piece for the group as I was leaving, and I thought it would be a blast to do something completely ridiculous. The players are called upon to scream in terror, dress like Elvises (Elvi), and play in about thirty different styles from mambo to cheesy lounge music. The audience follows a script that I wrote simulating a campy, over the top Godzilla movie (is there any other kind?).I wrote the bulk of the piece while in my first year at Juilliard, and no kidding, I used to act out the script every morning devouring animal crackers, wreaking havoc all over the breakfast table. The script was originally twice as long, and had an entire subplot devoted to a young scientist and his love interest. As I started to finish the piece, however, it didn't seem that funny and that story (along with an extended Elvis tribute) ended up on the cutting room floor.The idea that this piece is being played all over the world in such serious concert venues is the single funniest thing I have ever heard. It has been played on the steps of the Capitol by the United States Marine Band, by the Scottish National Wind Symphony (they play in kilts, so help me God), and I have a video of a Japanese audience visibly confused and shaken by the whole experience. Can you imagine? I'm laughing my head off even as I write this!Godzilla Eats Las Vegas! was commissioned by the University of Nevada Las Vegas, Thomas G. Leslie, conductor, and received its premiere November 28th, 1996.The performers are encouraged to go crazy: wear showgirl costumes, Elvis costumes, act out scenes on stage, use video and lighting - anything to get a laugh.

£139.99Festive Overture (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Shostakovich, Dmitri - Takahashi, Tohru
Festive Overture was composed in 1954 to commemorate the 37th birthday of the October Revolution of 1917. With this overture Shostakovich shows his brighter side, in contrast to his melancholy 10th symphony written in the previous year. The premiere of this piece took place on November 6, 1954 at the Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow. Shostakovich makes great use of different themes which he alternates and intermingles in a masterly way. This skilful transcription by Tohru Takahashi retains all the grandeur of the original.Duration: 6.00
