£18.68Christmas for Two - 70 Christmas Carols & Songs (Basic Set PDFs - Parts 1&2 US)
Bring the joy of the season to life with Christmas for Two - a unique collection of 70 well-loved Christmas carols and songs, expertly arranged by William Himes for two like (or similar) brass or woodwind instruments. Whether you're playing on the streets, in a church, or at a community event, these duets are perfect for spreading festive cheer with just two musicians. Inspired by a lifelong friendship and decades of caroling experience with The Salvation Army, revered composer William Himes has crafted accessible duet arrangements designed specifically for flexible instrumentation. After years of performing Christmas music in larger ensembles and later adapting those traditions into euphonium duets with his friend Mick, Himes realized the need for arrangements that sound full and satisfying without a full ensemble. As Himes explains, "Attempting to play duets using quartet books didn't work well because the most suitable alto harmony constantly shifted between the second and third part lines. We also discovered that our duets attracted as many Christmas donations as full ensembles!" Requiring average range and technique, the music is arranged in accessible keys also suitable for accompanying singing Available in Multiple Keys & Clefs - separate, easy-to-read march-size books for Part 1 and Part 2 in Bb, Eb, F, treble clef, and bass clef, in both international and U.S. sizes Perfect for Small Groups or Street Caroling - ideal for covering more donation sites or when a full ensemble isn't available Available as both PDF and print copy.

£33.63Menuet (Brass Band) Ravel arr. Rob Bushnell
Le Tombeau de Couperin (The Grave of Couperin) was written by Maurice Ravel between 1914 and 1917, originally a suite of piece for solo piano. Based on what was considered a traditional Baroque suite, Ravel wanted to pay homage to Baroque French keyboard music, whilst retaining his 20th-century chromaticism, making the work neoclassicist. Each movement is dedicated to the memory of a friend of the composer who died fighting in World War I. Ravel produced an orchestral version in 1919, omitting two of the original six movements. The Menuet was written in memory of Jean Dreyfus; Ravel had recuperated at his home. This arrangement is for the British-style brass band, with alternative parts for horns in F and bass-clef lower brass. A recording of the original composition can be found here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=jnNwEcBTSmk. Duration: Approx. 4 minutes Difficulty Level: 2nd Section + Duration: 4 minutes (depending on tempo and without any cuts) PDF download includes parts and score.

£33.63The Piano Preludes (Brass Band) George Gershwin arr. Rob Bushnell
First performed by the composer at the Roosevelt Hotel in New York in 1926, The Piano Preludes (or Three Preludes) are a collection of short pieces by George Gershwin, show casing early-20th-century American classical music, as influenced by jazz. Gershwin originally planned to compose 24 preludes, wrote seven, performed only six publically and was further reduced to three when first published. The work was dedicated to friend and musical advisor Bill Daly. The first prelude begins with a five-note blues motif. It features syncopated rhythms based on the Brazilian baiao and minor-seventh chords throughout. The second prelude, which Gershwin said was "a sort of blues lullaby" consists of two sections: the first a "lazy" melody upon a steady beat of crotchets; the second the bass takes the melody, continuing with the steady beats. The third prelude was called "Spanish" by Gershwin, and features a question-and-answer type melody, starting in a minor tonality and ending in major one. This arrangement is for the British-style brass band, with alternative parts for horns in F and bass-clef lower brass.

£14.94Down by the Riverside (Trombone Solo with Piano) arr. Thomas Hulten
This arrangement by Thomas Hulten of the beloved spiritual Down by the Riverside was born out of a special request from a Danish friend of the arranger - a bass trombonist - who wanted a solo piece to perform alongside his pianist wife at their local Salvation Army corps. Long familiar to traditional jazz players, the tune is often passed around informally, shaped by the spirit of the moment. But here, at last, it has found its way onto the page. Set in a relaxed swing style, this version invites performers to settle into a steady, unhurried groove. While arranged for both tenor and bass trombone, the piece is flexible enough to be played on a wide range of low brass and wind instruments - baritone, euphonium, tuba, sousaphone, serpent, ophicleide, bass sackbut, contrabassoon - whatever is at hand. Whether you're playing in a recital hall or a Sunday service, Down by the Riverside brings warmth, charm, and a touch of New Orleans tradition to any setting. To view a video of Thomas Hulten performing the solo please visit www.youtube.com/watch?v=frmdvfOFkyI Duration: approx. 3.00 minutes PDF download includes solo parts for trombone in bass clef and Bb treble clef, and piano accompaniment. Sheet music available at www.brassband.co.uk (UK) or www.cimarronmusic.com (USA)

£34.50The Wanderer - Hymn Tune Arrangement
ABOUT THIS PIECE: Written for the Haydock Band in memory of their late president, Stan Gardner, this is a beautifully simple take on the hymn tune: Stella. The title comes from the words of often sung to this hymn, written by John Lingard: 'Pray for the wanderer, pray for me'. Before the whole hymn is heard, the band play a repeated melody that evokes feelings of movement. There is an interplay between new and old melody, before a rousing rendition of the hymn by forte band. The arrangement concludes with the opening melody disappearing into the distance - a musical representation of the arranger's sentiments written at the top of the score: 'May God bless your onward journey, dear friend'.
