£21.95A Star Danced (Concert Band - Score only) - Renshaw, Nicola
A Star Danced (Y Seren Ddawns)Much Ado About Nothing is widely considered one of Shakespeare's finest comedies, combining elements of stout gaiety with more serious meditations on honour, shame, and court politics. A Star Danced mirrors the chronicles of two pairs of lovers: Benedick and Beatrice, and Claudio and Hero. Benedick and Beatrice are engaged in a very "merry war" of wits; they are both very glib and proclaim their disdain of love. In contrast, Claudio and Hero are sweet young people who are rendered practically speechless by their love for one another. Although the young lovers Hero and Claudio provide the main impetus for the plot, the key themes in the piece are inspired by the courtship between the older, wiser lovers Benedick and Beatrice; developing from antagonism to sincere love and compassion as Beatrice finally confesses her capacity for happiness to Don Pedro; a celebration of new beginning: There was a star danced and under that I was born.Includes:The Merry Wits of WarHero's ThemeThere was a Star Danced...Beatrice & Benedick.Duration: 5:30Recorded on Polyphonic QPRM162D Mysteries of the Horizon

£109.99Undercurrents (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Buckley, Robert
Undercurrents provides an electrifying, virtuosic showcase for the whole ensemble,; featuring a series of solos, duets and trios, as well as highlighting the various chamber sections within the band. The music was inspired by watching schools of fish and flocks of birds perpetually moving with the ocean currents and air currents. Every once in a while a single solo shape will appear, or two or three, they dance apart for a moment and then are drawn back into the ensemble. Commissioned by the Naden Band of the Royal Canadian Navy, Victoria, BC, this is a powerful tour-de-force from beginning to end.Duration: 6:30

£52.95Mussorgsky! (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Mussorgsky, Modest - Harnsberger, L. C.
Modest Mussorgsky (1839--1881) was a relatively unknown composer during his lifetime, but some of his works are among today's best-known pieces in concert halls and films. His orchestral work Night on Bald Mountain was immortalised by Walt Disney in Fantasia, and Pictures at an Exhibition is one of the most performed pieces by symphony orchestras. Selections from these two pieces are wonderfully transcribed for young band in Mussorgsky! The arrangement begins with the mystical opening from Night on Bald Mountain which transitions to the hauntingly beautiful conclusion of that same work. To conclude is the Great Gate of Kiev from Pictures at an Exhibition which is one of music literature's most inspiring moments.Duration: 3.00

£168.50Manhattan (Trumpet Solo with Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Sparke, Philip
Manhattan was commissioned by the United States Army Band for their solo trumpet player Woodrow English, and first performed by them in Carnegie Hall, New York, in November 2003. The two movement work demonstrates both the lyrical and technical abilities of this outstanding player. The 'theme' is a weekend in New York and the opening bluesy movement, Saturday Serenade, describes the city on a Saturday night, perhaps in a smoke-filled jazz bar. While writing Sunday Scherzo, the composer pictured an early morning jog in Central Park.This vivaciously rhythmic second movement ends with an even quicker coda bringing the work to a brilliant close. Each movement can also be played individually when a shorter solo is required. Manhattan is a major work in the solo trumpet repertoire.Duration: 9:30
