Grade 3

SKU: CL.CTS-7700-00

Composed by Claude T. Smith. Concert Band. Score and set of parts. Composed 1990. Claude T. Smith Publications #CTS-7700-00. Published by Claude T. Smith Publications (CL.CTS-7700-00).

Smith’s first published march. A bravura opening fanfare punctuated with the percussion forces open this march. The first strain gives us a jaunty tune with baritones and trombones playing the countermelody. The second strain refers back to the opening fanfares with percussion section soli banding about. A reserved trio tune played by clarinets, first horn and baritone are assisted with chromatic runs played by flute, oboe, muted first trumpet and bells. The opening fanfares return in the break strain, which then gives us a terrific trio strain. Accessible and playable for all musicians!

Fanfare Band - Grade 3

SKU: BT.DHP-1043619-020

Composed by John Blanken. Applause Series. Original Light Music. Set (Score & Parts). Composed 2004. De Haske Publications #DHP 1043619-020. Published by De Haske Publications (BT.DHP-1043619-020).

John Blanken has created a swinging arrangement of the famous Scottish traditional tune Scotland the Brave. The usual version with bagpipes is the best known and there is a similarity in Swingin’ Kilts owing to its long, drone-like tones in the accompaniment. The theme has been rhythmically adapted but it is still easily recognisable. Swingin’ Kilts holds a challenge for every brass band. It makes demands in terms of timing and technique which give this work the bravura feel that will keep the audience as well as the musicians swinging in their seats.

John Blanken schuf eine schwungvolle Bearbeitung zu dem bekannten schottischen Volkslied Scotland the Brave. Der Bearbeiter passte das wieder erkennbare Thema dem Swing-Stil an und auch die langen, Bordun ähnlichen Töne erinnern an das beliebte Dudelsackstück. Swingin' Kilts ist eine Herausforderung für jede Formation. Es stellt gewisse Anforderungen an Timing und Technik, die diesem Werk die Bravour verleihen, welche das Publikum ebenso wie die Musiker in Schwung versetzen wird.

Concert Band (Score) - Grade 4

Composed by John Wasson. MusicWorks Grade 4. Festival. 32 pages. Published by Hal Leonard (HL.4004106).

UPC: 888680034399. 9x12 inches.

Commissioned by the Richardson (Texas) Community Band, Silver Celebration commemorates 25 years of service by their conductor, George Jones. The work combines elements of traditional march style and also the bravura of epic film scores, resulting in a piece that is both festive and celebratory in nature. The opening is a rousing 6/8 march featuring various sections of the band and exciting cross rhythms, and then contrasted with a beautifully flowing lyric statement. A brief percussion feature leads to the final section, recapping the opening themes with a flourish and dramatic appeal. Duration: 5:00.

Among the most famous of twentieth-century art songs, Sea Fever has been imaginatively recreated for solo piano by Roderick Williams, whose accomplishments as a master of English lieder are matched by a composer's ear for the latent potential of an existing work. In this case, the inspiration was the playing of the dedicatee, the notable British pianist Maria Marchant, and the suggestion of Bruce Phillips of the John Ireland Trust for a 'free arrangement' in the manner of Liszt. In fact, the new version remains true to the original while offering the performer a degree of poetical bravura by no means superfluous or transcendental. It could well be programmed with other piano music by John Ireland, or stand alone as a highly effective and instantly recognised encore.

A recording by Maria Marchant is now available from SOMM Recordings (SOMMCD 0174).
