£41.42UKRAINE2022 (Brass Band) Joe Galuszka
This highly descriptive work for brass band by Joe Galuszka is in four parts:I. Declaration of WarII. Hymn for the Children and Women of BuchaIII. ResistanceIV. Hope for the FutureThe composer writes:'On the 24th of February 2022, the geopolitical landscape as we knew it changed, when the Russian Federation invaded Ukraine in a Declaration of War, and what was masked by the Kremlin as a 'special military operation'. Now regarded to be the most significant escalation of the Russo-Ukrainian War of 2014 since the annexation of Crimea, millions of Ukrainians fled the country and many millions were displaced, the after-effects of the conflict sent shockwaves through the world - leading to a global food crisis, humanitarian crisis and a refugee crisis.As the conflict began to ripple through Ukraine, missiles and airstrikes would cause destruction across the country including its capital, Kiev, and ground invasions would follow from multiple directions. With some of the most atrocious acts of bloodshed in Mariupol, and Bucha, many women and children would stand to lose their lives. Hymn for the Children and Women of Bucha takes us to the early moments of the war where families were ripped apart and many innocent lives were lost.As all men aged 18-60 would be signalled into military service through a call for martial law by the Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Resistance reminds us of the relentless tenacity of the Ukrainian people in standing up for what they believed was right, for their country, their Motherland, and for their people. As the combat rages on, numerous examples of Ukrainian inner strength and resistance can be found every day, as the pressure of Russian troops continues to bombard the lives and welfare of the Ukrainian people.The piece ends with Hope for the Future, and with it, a beacon of hope that we will one day see a future where the bloodshed will end, where fallen land is liberated, and where peace can return once more to the people of Ukraine. In her poem 'Spring in War-Time' from 1917, Sara Teasdale's words ring true again in this war, when she writes,The sun turns north, the days grow long,Later the evening star grows bright-How can the daylight linger on. For men to fight. Still fight?In this, we hope. That the conflict, soon, one day will end. And normality can return for the people of Ukraine.To listen to an audio demo of the work please visit https://on.soundcloud.com/dw53U9KZFUadvPYLADuration: Approx. 6.00 minutesDifficulty Level: 1st Section +PDF download includes parts and score.Sheet music available from www.brassband.co.ukInstrumentation:Soprano Cornet EbSolo Cornet BbRepiano Cornet Bb2nd Cornet Bb3rd Cornet BbFlugel Horn BbSolo Horn Eb1st Horn Eb2nd Horn Eb1st Baritone Bb2nd Baritone Bb1st Trombone Bb2nd Trombone BbBass TromboneEuphonium BbBass EbBass BbTimpaniPercussion 1-2

It is a Scottish tune written around 1800 by Hugh Wilson.1382: March Medley - Emblems of service (Stephen Bulla)This march celebrates the occasion of the Coorparoo Corps' reunion (now Carindale Corps, Australia) in 2022.

£33.89A Christmas Canon (Brass Band) Traditional arr. William Gordon
Seamlessly merging the traditional English carol The First Nowell with Johann Pachelbel's beloved Canon in D, A Christmas Canon is a captivating arrangement designed to bring rich texture and emotional depth to your band's winter concert repertoire.Suitable for intermediate to advanced bands, the piece opens Adagio sostenuto with a gently rolling, scalic ostinato in the euphonium and lower brass, establishing the unmistakable harmonic ground bass of Pachelbel's masterpiece. Over this foundation, expressive solo lines in the flugel and horns gracefully weave the familiar melody of The First Nowell into the texture.As the arrangement unfolds, the scoring gradually builds density and counterpoint. Intricate muted cornet passages give way to flowing arpeggios, bell-like glockenspiel accents, and cascading lines across the band, driving a gradual crescendo into a rich, full-ensemble statement of the carol theme.The work reaches its dramatic climax at an expanded Allargando section, where the full band, supported by percussion, delivers a majestic, fortissimo declaration of the melody before resolving into a warm, lingering final chord.To view a rolling score video of the Amsterdam Staff Band performing this piece please visit: www.youtube.com/watch?v=dr9hMLhAvRMDifficulty Level: 3rd Section +Duration: 3.30 minutesThis PDF download includes the full score and parts.Sheet music available at www.brassband.co.uk (UK) or https://satradecentral.org (USA)Instrumentation:Soprano Cornet EbSolo Cornet Bb1st Cornet Bb2nd Cornet BbFlugel Horn BbSolo Horn Eb1st Horn Eb2nd Horn Eb1st Baritone Bb2nd Baritone Bb1st Trombone Bb2nd Trombone BbBass TromboneEuphonium BbBass EbBass BbTimpaniPercussion 1-2

£45.00Mars, The Bringer of War (from The Planets) (Brass Band - Score and Parts) - Holst, Gustav - Littlemore, Phillip
Holst's suite The Planets was written between 1914 and 1916 and with the exception of Mercury, which was written last, Holst wrote the music in the sequence we hear them. So, in 1914, came the insistent rhythmic tread of Mars, The Bringer of War. It is widely known that the sketches were completed prior to the outbreak of the First World War, so the music is less a reaction to the declaration of war itself, but more an impending sense of inevitability of a war to unfold. An ideal concert opener, especially in this current year as it is not only the 100th anniversary of the piece itself, but of The Great War. Duration: 7:20
