£44.95Life Divine (Brass Band - Score and Parts) - Jenkins, Cyril
Programme Notes:Certain phases of Life are common to most if not all men and the music of the Tone Poem carries the listener through four of such phases.a) In the Andante Molto Maestoso a man's outlook on Life as a thing of seriousness and dignity is shown.b) The Allegro Vivace which follow shows him facing its problems with a spirit of vigorous optimism, while two tributary themes suggest that Life, with all its seriousness, is not devoid of humour and happiness.c) The short section which follows, Maestoso, is a reminder that times of stress and trouble are inevitable but these are quickly dispelled by thed) Andante Nobilemente, portraying the helping and ennobling power of true love.The music again proceeds to review these four phases of Life, the concluding section showing Love triumphant over all.

£44.95Trailblazers (Brass Band - Score and Parts) - Mackereth, Andrew
This overture draws its inspiration from the story of the first Household Troops Band. It tells the story of the 1887 band, the subsequent lull of nearly a hundred years and the re-awakening of the Troops phenomenon in 1985. It was originally written in 1995 and featured prominently by the band on its North American tour of 2002. Given the history of the Household Troops Band, it is fitting that this composition is preoccupied with marching. It begins with a marching song played by a solitary muted cornet, symbolic not only of the call to bandsmen to join the evangelical effort but also a muso-dramatic device to indicate the steady increase in members and technical ability! The music quickly develops into stirring versions of 'A robe of white' and 'Storm the forts of darkness' with two early day Salvation Army tunes crucially adding to the narrative; 'Marching on in the light of God' and 'Soldiers of our God, arise!' The second section is a reflective setting of the Herbert Booth song, 'The penitent's plea'. This song serves to represent the many people who were 'saved' during those early day campaigns. The expressive music transports the listener through a period of uncertainty and angst until finally reaching the song, 'There is a message, a simple message, and it's a message for us all'. The final section deals first with the emergence from the annals of history with the muted cornet figure again before, symbolically, the present day band bursts forth with an emphatic statement of 'Would you be free from your burden of sin? There's power in the blood'. The stirring climax represents a fitting tribute to those gallant pioneering musicians and their equally impressive and dedicated contemporaries.

£60.00Capriol Suite (Brass Band - Score and Parts) - Warlock, Peter - Littlemore, Phillip
Peter Warlock's set of set of six dances in renaissance style, Capriol Suite, is by far his most famous work. The suite consists of Basse-Danse, a lively dance for older folk; a stately Pavane; a delicate, yet lively Tordion; Bransles (pronounced 'Brawl'), a fast country dance which works its way into a frenzy, continuously building in speed and excitement; Pieds-en-l'air, with its beautifully serene lines and Mattachins, an exhilarating sword dance with its driving rhythm, culminating in violent dissonances bringing the piece to a spirited close. This is a new arrangement suitable for any band, including those in the 4th Section that relish a challenge. Percussion has been added in all but one of the movements, and is for two players. Duration: 10:00

£94.95Machine (Brass Band - Score and Parts) - Dobson, Simon
Machine, was commissioned by the Salvation Army Trading Company for the National Youth Brass Band of Great Britain.The work speaks of the perils of the fast fashion industry, the part it plays in our current understanding of late-stage capitalism and it's complicity in the destruction wrought on our one home planet. It also seeks to portray the incredible efforts of the Salvation Army in their quest to slow the fast fashion industry and recycle clothing in the most innovative and progressive ways.The work is through composed and comprises five movements.Movement 1: The great Machine. The band is placed into 8 groups of three (expect tubas, in their normal position as a 4), who stand in specific places on the stage. This will create machine like antiphonal movement in the written music. The great Machine in question is the fast fashion industry, in all its chaos, seeming grandeur and relentless momentum.Movement 2: Mode phmre is fast, angular and quirky, a nod to the perilous speed and waste of the fast fashion industry (the movement title is the French for fast fashion).Movement 3: A planet to treasure (for DA) is a love letter to our home planet and its finite resources and as well as the beauty of the natural world, which unfortunately, we are destroying (hence the dedication to David Attenborough on his 100th year).Movement 4: The wheels keep turning, returns to the fast, angular, almost unstoppable grasp of capitalism and the damaging structures it promotes.Movement 5: Recycle, re-use, mirrors the opening (though without stage directions) in reference to the cyclic nature of fast fashion and the wonderful work that The Salvation Army do in trying to halt this system.
