£45.95Hot Tamales - Paul Cook
Your percussionists will hunger for you to rehearse this one. A variety of multicultural percussion sounds is the foundation for this charmer.

The two varied styles provide a delightful contrast - a surefire crowd pleaser. Ol! (2:22)

£45.95An Early English Christmas
Two lovely English carols are paired together to create a very mature sounding arrangement for young players.

"The Coventry Carol" is then presented by the flutes and clarinets in 3/4 meter before shifting to a more dramatic 4/4 maestoso for full band. Correlated with , page 12.

£66.95Vistas
Featuring two melodic motives that are developed texturally and rhythmically throughout the piece, Vistas begins in a light, reflective manner before gradually building into a majestic contrapuntal statement by the brass. A driving percussion introduction begins the Vigoroso section and provides the rhythmic foundation for the second "Vista." This minor setting of the initial motives provides an exciting variation that features a variety of meter changes and syncopated passages. A restatement of the initial motives with the driving rhythmic accompaniment begins an extended conclusion that brings the piece to a dynamic finish.

£53.95Knights of the Royal Realm (Concert March) - Robert W. Smith
With a British flair and grandiose-style, this original march incorporates two distinct themes. Robert W. Smith explains that "Knights of the Royal Realm" was inspired by the musical life and talents of Sir Vivian Dunn, a British conductor of international acclaim. Sir Vivian's stately manner and warm personality left a lasting impression on him as a young composer. Mr. Smith pays tribute to those lasting memories and Sir Vivian's impact on the American band movement through this charming march for the concert band.

£119.00Flight - Brian Balmages

The three sections explore the launch to space, reaching the apogee (weightlessness), and return to the atmosphere. Punctuated by incredible brass fanfares and woodwind flourishes, the entire work is a bundle of energy from start to finish, and is the perfect opener for any concert. Monumental!

£53.95Prelude and Celebration - Jonathan Dagenais
An interesting element of this work is that the two main themes were originally composed by the young students on recorders. The piece was built around those themes and the result is a colorful and contrasting work full of rhythmic and melodic interest. On the last section of the Celebration, all the players join together to sing a C pedal tone as a warm accompaniment for three soloists. It is a way to show that we need unity, support and fun in a band to achieve successful performances.
