£42.50Carnaval (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Sweeney, Michael
The magic of Cuban 'carnaval' music is the basis for this lively and very infectious easy work. Listen as the parade slowly approaches and the trumpets lead the ensemble with the main theme. Following this are question and answer statements typical of the style and a feature spot for percussion (who will have a field day with the unique instruments). While this is playable with as few as 4 percussionists, having more players will add to the festive atmosphere.Duration: 2:50

£80.95Nobles of the Mystic Shrine (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Sousa, John Philip - Fennell, Frederick
Now with a full score provided, here's the original Fennell arrangement of this revered John Philip Sousa march.

£52.95Alpha Squadron (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Hillis, Greg
Powerful unisons open this piece and continue as the trumpets state the heroic melody. A countermelody is then placed over this in the woodwinds. Alternating between marcato and legato sections, this is a good piece for teaching contrasting styles. Students will love the minor key and the power of playing tutti. A great opener for your autumn concert.Duration: 2.00

£139.99The Abduction from the Seraglio (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Mozart, Wolfgang Amadeus - Takahashi, Tohru
"Wonderful! But, aren't there too many notes?" asked the emperor Joseph II. "No, all notes are necessary. This is new music," replied Mozart. This is a famous anecdote about the premiere of the opera Die Entfuhrung aus dem Serail (The Abduction from the Seraglio), which took place on July 16, 1782 at the Burgtheater Wien (Vienna). It illustrates Mozart's ambition and self-confidence. Throughout Mozart's lifetime, Die Entfhrung aus dem Serail was his most successful work outside of Vienna. It is still a much-performed opera. Tohru Takahashi has made a lively arrangement of the overture in its original key, C major. It will sound even better if your band has Turkish percussion instruments at its disposal.Duration: 6.15

£137.99Hanover Festival (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Sparke, Philip
The Hanover Wind Symphony, New Jersey, USA was founded in 1984 by its conductor Peter Boor. He commissioned Hanover Festival to celebrate the band's 15th Birthday and the first performance took place on October 27th 1999. The piece starts with a solemn brass fanfare. Woodwinds join in and the music subsides into an expressive chorale. A climax is reached and the fanfare returns. Trumpets introduce an explosive vivo section, characterised by an energetic theme from the horns and low clarinets. A bridge passage with strong brass chords leads to a playful section that introduces a legato central theme under woodwind figures. This is taken up by the full band, the playful music returns and the original horn tune is reintroduced. Finally the opening fanfare returns, this time accompanied by music from the vivo section, until a fast and furious coda closes the work.Duration: 8:20

£49.95Pizza Music (Novelty) (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Oli, Ravi
This pepperoni special is probably the first piece yet written calling for "molto mozzarella". It combines Ponchielli's Dance of the Hours with "pizzicato Polka". If you were unsure of your Italian condiments, this is the work on which to learn. It is rumored to be Ravi Oli's only contribution to the (hors d') oeuvre. Delicious
