The TV Detectives brings together five of Nigel Hess’s best-known television themes (Dangerfield Campion Wycliffe Maigret and Hetty Wainthropp Investigates) all originally written for small-screen sleuths in whodunits that have been enjoyed by TV audiences worldwide. Dangerfield is a BBC series about a Warwickshire police surgeon and originally starred Nigel le Vaillant before Nigel Havers took over the lead role. Campion also from the BBC was based on Margery Allingham’s stories of a mild-mannered 1920s gentleman detective played by Peter Davison. Wycliffe was a long-running HTV series set in Cornwall and starred Jack Shepherd as a somewhat dour andlow-key DCI - but of course he always solved the case! Michael Gambon starred in Granada TV’s latest incarnation of the famous French detective Maigret while Patricia Routledge played the OAP sleuth to perfection in Hetty Wainthropp Investigates another popular BBC series. For the first time these popular tunes which conjure up their programmes perfectly have been arranged for wind band in a continuous suite.

Sax Section Feature-Billy Joel's rollicking rag makes a super sax feature with this new arrangement by Michael Sweeney. Your saxophone players will love the clever licks and tricks and your audience will be grinning from the intro to the coda.

Inspired by the illness experienced in the 1920s by scientists exploring the tomb of the boy-pharaoh Tutankhamun, Mike Story's work musically traces the history from the discovery of the tomb through the mysterious curse. Expertly scored, this delightful work will capture your students' imagination. Both intense and enjoyable, this work is highly recommended.
