Marianne - Martin Bunce
Written in 1974, Marianne is a beautifully lyrical flugelhorn ballad by Martin Bunce, now newly arranged by the composer for brass band.Originally written during a particularly romantic period in Bunce's life, the piece was first performed on the BBC Two television programme In Concert by the National Youth Jazz Orchestra, with Martin himself featured as the flugelhorn soloist. A recording was subsequently released by RCA on 45rpm, and Marianne gradually became an established and much-loved part of the NYJO repertoire. It has since appeared on several of the orchestra's recordings, including the four-CD collection The Very Best of NYJO.The melody has also found a home in the brass band world, notably through Maurice Murphy's recording with the Leyland Band on The Lighter Side of Maurice Murphy. This new brass band arrangement places the flugelhorn's distinctive warm and mellow tone firmly at the heart of the music, supported by sympathetic and accessible scoring throughout the band.Neither the solo part nor the accompaniment is excessively demanding, making Marianne an excellent choice for a wide range of bands and an ideal contrast item for concert programmes. Warm, expressive and immediately appealing, it offers the flugelhorn soloist an opportunity to shine while giving audiences a memorable melody to take away.A charming addition to any brass band library, Marianne is particularly well suited to concerts, solo features and lighter programmes.

Christmas In Da House - Max Stannard
The composition was created for the Helston Town Band and features elements of House music, layering small elements of well known Christmas Carols as the textures slowly build up through repeated sections. The finale sections attempts to recreate a side chain effect, whilst the vibraphone at the end tries to simulate a delay effect on the final chord. You will hear parts of Jingle Bells, God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen, Hark the Herald Angels Sing, Joy to the World and Away in a Manger. This composition will definitely liven up your Christmas Concert.

Christmas in St Louis - Max Stannard
This is a reworking of the carol by Lewis Redner, which is the American version of O Little Town of Bethlehem, as opposed to version most used in the United Kingdom, "Forest Green", a tune which was collected by Ralph Vaughan Williams. This solo allows a Bb player to take the lead with the original version being written for a cornet, but it could be played by flugel, euphonium, baritone or trombone. There are several episodes throughout the music which allow the soloist to demonstrate different skills across this very lyrical setting.
