    The Thunderer - March (Brass Band) John Philip Sousa arr. Keith Wilkinson

    Composed in 1889, The Thunderer is one of John Philip Sousa's most popular and enduring marches. Dedicated to the Knights Templar of Washington, D.C. - who had knighted Sousa three years earlier - this rousing composition showcases the composer's trademark blend of melodic strength and rhythmic vitality. Though the exact origin of its title remains uncertain, The Thunderer is musically distinguished by its bold use of military-style percussion in two central sections, and by the brilliant fanfares that crown the final strain. These unique features contribute to its dramatic flair and lasting appeal. This brass band arrangement, prepared by Dr. Keith M. Wilkinson for the 2009 summer concerts of the Brass Band of the Western Reserve, brings these elements to the fore. The score includes optional staging directions designed to enhance the visual and musical impact of live performances. Perfect for patriotic programs, ceremonial occasions, or high-energy concert finales, The Thunderer remains a stirring testament to Sousa's mastery of the march.

    The Liberty Bell - March (Brass Band) John Philip Sousa arr. Keith Wilkinson

    Composed in 1893, John Philip Sousa's The Liberty Bell was originally intended for an operetta. However, after witnessing the grand spectacle America in Chicago - featuring a dramatic backdrop of a massive painting of the Liberty Bell - Sousa was inspired to rename the piece. Since then, it has become one of his most recognisable and enduring marches. The march gained a whole new audience in the 20th century when it was adopted as the signature tune for the iconic British television show Monty Python's Flying Circus, cementing its place in popular culture. This engaging brass band arrangement by Dr. Keith M. Wilkinson adds a unique touch with the inclusion of several solos for a large unpitched bell, enhancing both the aural and visual experience for performers and audiences alike. It has been recorded by the Brass Band of the Western Reserve, under Wilkinson's direction, on the CD Slides Rule. Perfect for concerts with a patriotic or theatrical theme, The Liberty Bell is a rousing and crowd-pleasing addition to any brass band repertoire. This work is part of the Alum Creek Music catalogue, now exclusively distributed by BrookWright Music. Difficulty Level: 4th Section + PDF download includes parts and score.

    Marcho Brioso (Brass Band - Score and Parts) - Sparke, Philip

    Marcho Brioso was commissioned by The Brioso Brass, a British-style brass band from Hokkaido, Japan. They gave the first performance in January 2012.The commission was for a bright and breezy march that the band could use as their theme tune, so Marcho Brioso falls into the composer's series of Broadway-style marches, which includes Slipstream, The Bandwagon and Jubiloso. After a short introduction a solo cornet plays the main theme, accompanied by a euphonium counter-melody. A secondary phrase from the horns and baritones leads to a tutti version of the main theme which is followed by the traditional 'bass' strain. A change of key heralds the trio section, which features a cantabile melody on euphonium; this is then taken up by the full band after a short bridge passage and further change of key. This takes us back to the home key which sees a quiet staccato version of the main theme lead to a recapitulation and a short coda which brings the march to a close.Duration: 3:45

    Our Flirtations (Brass Band - Score and Parts) - Sousa, John Philip - Westwood, Gary

    The name John Philip Sousa is no stranger to any brass band aficionado. Our Flirtations has its origins in incidental music written by Sousa for a play of the same name. It was written around 1880, about the time he was appointed Director of the U.S. Marine Band, a position he held until he formed his own civilian band in 1892. Sousa wrote over 130 marches, many of which have been transcribed for brass band.
