Hawkes Pocket Scores HPS 1468-Originally a ballet score this 30' work is scored with strings and consists of three movements:'cumnock fair': A 12-minute fantasy based on dance melodies by the 18th-century Cumnock composer John French. The moods range widely from playful rustic archaic ungainly dreamy boisterous stately brutal and grotesque to mysterious and unnerving.'shambards'': Memories of Burnsian folksong are interrupted by new dance tunes built on fragments from the Mad Scene from Act 3 of Donizetti’s Lucia di Lammermoor based on the novel by Walter Scott.'shamnation'. Low throbbing in the piano becomes a drumbeat to accompany a fast violin reel using three tunesand following a traditional 8-bar structure. The solo piano part emerges as a counterpoint to the Scottish themes after which the music winds its way through many different keys.

Piano Solo with Concert Band-Here is a special composition that serves a very special purpose for young band programs ? an opportunity to feature a piano soloist with concert band. The piano part itself is lyrical and not technically demanding. The bandparts are easy to learn and lend support for the soloist in addition to sharing in the melody at times. A wonderful change of pace for your next concert. Dur: 3:00 (Includes Full Performance CD)
