61. Euphonium Music - Brian Bowen
Price: £30.00
Written in 1978, the work is constructed in three
movements and is virtually a concerto for
euphonium and band. The first movement begins
with an unaccompanied motto theme, which uses all
twelve notes of the scale but with a tonal feel.
The slow second movement is based on an original
song melody by the composer ? ?The Eyes of God? ?
and affords lyrical and richly expressive playing
that is typically euphonium. Movement three
follows without a break ? a capricious movement
which ends triumphantly.
Now
available in versions for piano, brass
band,
wind
band,
and orchestra,
Euphonium Music
can be seen as a major contribution to the
literature for the instrument.
Duration: 15 minutes
An orchestral version is available on
hire.
62. Fantasia: Three Parts on a Ground - Henry Purcell arr. Philip WIlby
Price: £32.95
Composed by Henry Purcell for three solo
instruments (violins or recorders) over a
repeating bass line around the year 1680 this
work shows English Contrapuntal skill at its most
exhuberant.
This free transcription for brass band stands
alongside Philip Wilby?s 1995 composition
Revelation
which uses it as a basis in tribute to Purcell?s
tercentenary.
63. Fantasie Concertante - Philip Wilby
Price: £36.00
This exciting new concerto is a welcome addition
to the repertoire of french and tenor horn
players alike. Like the 18th-Century Serenade
form there are five movements, arranged
symmetrically around a slow movement ?
Soliloquy
? which separates movements entitled
Burlesque
(two) and
Valse Caprice
(three) respectively.
The
first and last movements share common material of
a more symphonic stature, and the concerto ends
with a brisk fugato. The solo horn is (in the
band version) accompanied by a quintet of solo
players (two cornets, euphonium, trombone, and
tuba) who provide the lion?s share of the
counterpoint and contrast with the main body of
musicians who provide musical punctuation in the
more sonorous tutti sections. The first
movement,
Don Quixote?s Dream,
contains references to Cervantes? famous hero,
the Spanish nature of his stories, and the
ambling gait of his horseback
adventures.
64. Fantasy - and Robert Childs
Price: £39.95
In the late eighteenth and early nineteenth
centuries the ?fantasia? or ?pot-pourri? was a
popular genre built on a selection of hit tunes
of the day.
Hummel
wrote three such works, for guitar, cello, and
viola; this arrangement is based on a shortened
version of the work for viola and orchestra. The
original, published as Hummel?s Opus 94, dates
from about 1820 and includes themes from Mozart?s
Don Giovanni, The Marriage of Figaro, Die
Entf?ng aus dem Serail, and Rossini?s
Tancredi.
65. Fantasy for Trombone - JamesCurnow
Price: £29.95
This popular piece has become a core part of the
trombone repertory and a chance to show both
lyrical and bravura styles in an attractive and
showy (yet not overly difficult) concert
piece.
66. Festival Fanfare - Joseph Turrin
Price: £19.95
A short, rhythmically exciting fanfare.
This version features the brass band cornet
section and percussion, allowing the rest of the
band a brief rest!
Price: £27.95

68. Galop from Jeux d'Enfants - Georges Bizet arr. Keith Wilkinson
Price: £25.95
The bustling finale to Bizet's suite of piano
pieces which translate into English as
Children's Games.
Ideal as an encore.
Duration: 2:00
69. Guaglione - Fanciulli/Nisa arr. Bill Geldard
Price: £25.95
Guaglione
is one of those tunes that most people know even
if they don?t know its name!
Often
used in TV commercials and as underscore it is
also a most popular concert item. Bill Geldard?s
arrangement for band does it full
justice.
70. Harlequin - Bruce Broughton
Price: £25.95
Harlequin is the most popular of the comic
servant characters from the Italian commedia
dell?arte who, although a slow thinker, was
acrobatic and nimble ? he would never perform a
simple action when the addition of a cartwheel or
backflip would spice up the movement!
These characteristics are aptly portrayed
musically in Bruce Broughton?s mini concert
overture. Originally published for brass band in
1984, this popular work coveys all the hustle,
bustle, and agility of the character in a finely
crafted musical structure. Ideal as a concert
opener or encore it is sure to delight audiences
and provide players with an exciting new addition
to their repertory.
Duration: 2:30
