£33.55King Cotton - March (Brass Band) John Philip Sousa arr. Keith Wilkinson
Composed in 1895 during a three-week engagement of the Sousa Band at the Cotton States and International Exposition in Atlanta, King Cotton is one of John Philip Sousa's most iconic and spirited marches. At a time when cotton was central to the Southern U.S. economy, the phrase "Cotton is King" captured the cultural and economic mood of the era - an idea Sousa cleverly celebrated through this triumphant and lively composition. This brass band arrangement was specially prepared by Dr. Keith M. Wilkinson for the 2010 Summer concert series of the Brass Band of the Western Reserve. It retains all the vibrancy of Sousa's original while offering a fresh presentation for brass band audiences.

£33.55The 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.

£33.55El Capitan - March (Brass Band) John Philip Sousa arr. Keith Wilkinson
Originally composed in 1896, El Capitan began its life as a spirited operetta that quickly gained popularity following its premiere in Boston. Drawing from the operetta's vibrant musical themes, John Philip Sousa created the now-famous march of the same name, which retains the theatrical flair of its source material. One of the march's most distinctive features is its sudden transition from 6/8 to 2/4 time midway through the piece - a reflection of Sousa's clever adaptation of operatic motifs into a compelling and unconventional march form. This brass band arrangement was specially prepared by Dr. Keith M. Wilkinson for the Brass Band of the Western Reserve's 2013 summer concert series. It is part of a broader collection of Sousa marches arranged by Wilkinson for both brass band and brass sextet, available from BrookWright Music. 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.

£33.55The 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.

Wilkinson was prepared for the 2008 summer concerts of the Brass Band of the Western Reserve. It features optional movement around the stage and an engaging percussion spotlight, both of which add a visual flair to complement the music's patriotic energy and precision.
