It's called the Dance of the Slippery Slide Trombones, but every section in the band gets to show off in this clever and humorous arrangement based on the Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairies from the Nutcracker Suite. Lots of percussion parts to keep your drummers involved! Very impressive sound for more advanced bands with limited rehearsal time. FUN, FUN FOR ALL!

Iiro Rantala's Veneziana for chamber ensemble and piano (2021-2022) is a 50 minute long program about all things Venice; how famous composers were affected by the city, how they affected the city and became part of the Venetian Story – told with an Iiro twist. The meeting of Prokofiev and Diaghilev turns into a real nutcracker ballet Romeo and Steve, whilst Mozart loses his mojo when visiting Venice. Monteverdi starts and Verdi completes the waltz boom - and Sibelius finds his national romantic melancholy again.

Veneziana is scored for wind and string quintets and a pianist. This product is a study score (A4 sized, spiral bounding). The performance material is available for hire from the publisher.

Contents:
1. Gondol Ride to St. Mark’s Square
2. Romeo and Steve
3. Monteverdi and His Ideas
4. Vivaldi’s ADHD
5. Sibelius in Venice
6. Mozart Loses His Mojo
7. Casanova and Lorenzo
8. Morte a Venezia

The winter holiday season might bring to mind the Toy Soldier Dance as performed annually by the famous Radio City Rockettes. There were in fact a number of composers who wrote march music for toy, tin or wooden soldiers. Four of those songs have been included in this medley: Parade of the Wooden (or Tin) Soldiers by Leon Jessel, March of the Toys from the operetta Babes in Toyland by Victor Herbert, Fritz Kreiser's Toy Soldier March for violin and piano, and March of the Wooden Soldiers from Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker Suite. This arrangement, Toy Soldier Marches, is designed for high school band because of the rhythmic technique required by the compositions, although the ranges remain much easier. The ambitious director might incorporate some uniformed marching band students into the performance as wooden soldiers marching down the aisles.
