£450.00Concertango (Alto Sax Solo and Jazz Trio with Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Alarcon, Luis Serrano

The omnipresent and uniting musical force is the tango and, in particular, the works of Astor Piazzolla. Luis Serrano Alarcon has transformed the rhythms, ensemble settings and stylistic idioms into a powerful artistic statement that communicates to all. A highly effective work for mature ensembles.Duration: 26.45

£59.99Pilgrim Traveler (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Broege, Timothy
Skilfully combining four distinctive melodies from the early American shape-note hymnal The Sacred Harp, Timothy Broege has created a wonderful single movement setting for band that includes many moods and styles. Pilgrim and Traveler form the principal themes of the piece and undergo a series of variations. Aylesbury and Jerrerson are used as transitional melodies and are combined with the other two as the music becomes increasingly complex and contrapuntal. The the words of the composer, 'the music may be heard to portray a journey, perhaps a spiritual quest undertaken by a travelling pilgrim seeking solace or enlightenment.' From tender and serene to bold and stark, this inventive work makes an impressive statement.Duration: 5:45
