£57.50Nonantum Bulgar - Hankus Netsky
Adding to the minuscule number of Klezmer pieces for concert band, Nonantum Bulgar is the 20th piece published in the BandQuest series. The title, Nonantum Bulgar, refers to Nonantum, a district in Newton which is home to the city's oldest synagogue (on the National Register of Historic Places), and bulgar (pronounced 'bull-ghar'), a type of Klezmer dance. When writing the piece, the composer imagined the dedication of the Adams St. Shul, which took place over one hundred years ago and featured a prominent Boston cantor and choir and a klezmer orchestra leading a Grand March down Adams St. This upbeat work is fun to play, features a trumpet solo, and gives every instrument the opportunity to play the melody.

The series was started as a response to feedback from music educators that there is a pressing need for new, fresh band music. The heart of this program is new works written by a diverse group of leading American composers who have created challenging pieces that are a true departure from standard middle school repertoire. Every BandQuest project includes a residency component in which the composer works collaboratively with a middle school as they create their new piece. Many BandQuest pieces are accompanied by an interdisciplinary curriculum designed to assist students as they learn the music and to integrate each piece with non-music studies.

£78.95Early One Morning
Although the roots of this British folksong date back to the 18th century, the first publication of the melody was in the late 1850's in the collection "National English Airs". Early One Morning is the story of a young woman misused by her lover, as overheard by the singer. In the mid-1930's the tune was adapted as a military slow march called "The Globe and Laurel" for the Royal Marines band. This arrangement focuses on the lyricism of the original with just a hint of its later military associations. Only the 1st clarinets cross the break. 1st trumpet's highest note is F.

£54.99Spiritual - Barry E. Kopetz
This original work in traditional style presents the dominant moods of the American spiritual. The first is a mood of reflection and religious feeling as the melody is presented as a hymn. The second is an exuberant, joyous celebration that provides a terrific contrast. A particularly attractive program number. (2 minutes, 30 seconds)

£121.00Variations On A Legend - Robert E. Foster
Few concert band works boast the swagger and panache of this exhilarating composition! A dramatic fanfare moves into a rollicking 6/8 journey, with the flavor of a Celtic jig. After a slower more expressive section, there is a short fughetta, followed by the melody stated with increasing intensity to a vibrant finish.

Second Time Around - David Gorham
Second Time Around is a stirring, melodic 4/4 (or common time) march for young bands in which everyone except the percussion has the melody at one time or another. This work provides young players with the opportunity to perform a march which is not technically difficult, but is very satisfying.

£82.50In Endless Song - Robert Lowry
A beautiful hymn composed by Robert Lowry that expresses a true feeling of inner peace and joy. This sensitive arrangement presents the melody with little or no alteration, letting its natural beauty speak for itself. Band composers have long used hymntunes as the basis for their compositions, creating a large and rich repertoire of musical hymn settings. This wonderfully lyric arrangement will make a welcome addition to that collection of works.
