Concert Band - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1474986 Composed by Julia Perry. Arranged by John Ivor Holland. 20th Century,Classical,Contemporary,Contest,Festival,Multicultural,World. 126 pages. John Ivor Holland #1052577. Published by John Ivor Holland (A0.1474986). Julia Perry (25 March 1924 – 24 April 1979) was an American classical composer and teacher who combined European classical and neo-classical training with her African-American heritage. In 1952, Perry began studying under Nadia Boulanger in Paris, during which time she was awarded the Boulanger Grand Prix for her Viola Sonata; after five and a half years in Europe, Perry returned to America and continued her work in composition. 'Piano Concerto in Two Uninterrupted Speeds' was composed between 1964-1969 and this arrangement has been made as part of an ongoing project to widen the repertoire of music by women composers for concert band around the world.

Concert Band - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1381016 Composed by George Gershwin. Arranged by John Ivor Holland. 20th Century,Classical,Jazz,Latin,Multicultural,World. 301 pages. John Ivor Holland #965732. Published by John Ivor Holland (A0.1381016). Originally written for large orchestra, Cuban Overture is a tone poem composed in 1932, inspired by a two-week holiday which Gershwin spent in Havana in the February of that year. It was originally called ‘Rumba’, but the title was later changed to better describe the character and colour of the music.  Caribbean rhythms and Cuban percussion instruments predominate, and Gershwin was keen that the bongo, claves and maracas should be visible and prominent (position them right at the front so all the audience can see - they'll love that!) The main theme was influenced by ‘Échale Salsita’, a popular song of the day, by Ignacio Piñeiro. The premiere was a great success, and the piece has remained a popular part of Gershwin’s oeuvre. Transcribed for symphonic band, with supporting contrabass instruments and European parts.

Concert Band - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1182001 Composed by Louise Farrenc. Arranged by Robert Debbaut. 19th Century,Romantic Period. 38 pages. ROBERT DEBBAUT #781763. Published by ROBERT DEBBAUT (A0.1182001). Louise Farrenc (1804-1875) was the only woman to hold a professorship at a European Conservatory (Paris) in the 19th Century.  They would only allow her to teach piano, not composition, because she was undeniably a virtuoso pianist.  During her lifetime she mainly composed for piano, but also wrote works for the orchestra, including three symphonies, and a great deal of mixed chamber music. She wrote no works for wind band of any kind, yet she lived in a golden age of especially French band music. As such, I felt a new generation of music students should hear the music of this incredibly talented composer who had the misfortunate of being born female in the 19th Century. This work is certainly characteristic of the Romantic Era and would make a lovely concert overture. the main sub ject of her variations is Martin Luther's A Mighty Fortress is Our God. If you purchase this score (and like it), please write to me at debbaut@gmail.com, subject Farrenc and I will send you a copy of the wav file as well as a link to her original piano work (I;'ve not taken too many liberties). If you still like it, parts may be had for $100 via Venmo or personal check. Write to debbaut@gmail.com, subject Farrenc..

Concert Band - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1007977 Composed by Herman Koenig. Arranged by John M. Laverty. Romantic Period. Score and parts. 113 pages. Zephyrwindmusic.com #4348177. Published by zephyrwindmusic.com (A0.1007977). The Trumpet Polka, first published in 1856 as part of the Jullien Military Band Journal is a typical composition composed for and used as dance music during the Victorian era. It employees both trumpets and cornets, showcasing the trumpets. The form is that of a dance piece, with large repeated sections designed to be choreographed by a large group of dances, an activity popular at the time. While there is much known about Herman Koenig (1815-1870), there is much that is still somewhat of a mystery, like exactly where he was born and died. What is known is that he was perhaps the ï¬rst cornetist who was indeed an international star. Born in Germany, he became well-known in London as a featured soloist in Louis Jullien’s famous Drury Lane Orchestra in the 1840s. His travels took him to America in 1853 with Jullien in what was the ï¬rst major tour of a European orchestra in America. He also played violin, was a composer and publisher, a music educator, and he helped design and market a cornet, what is known today as the Koenig Cornet.

Concert Band - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1299696 Composed by Peter Boris Koval. Arranged by Peter Boris Koval. 20th Century,March. Score and Parts. 144 pages. Peter Boris Koval #883172. Published by Peter Boris Koval (A0.1299696). The piece is lighthearted and the florid melodies show off the soloist to full advantage. The solo passages are lightly accompanied, but the interludes allow the rest of the band to shine. The piece was originally presented in an arrangement for solo tuba and concert band, and the title was chosen as a humorous antithesis of the character of the piece. Ponderosa means ponderous , but the work is light and flowing. Thusit ably lends itself to the repertory of the E flat clarinet. (In actual fact the piece was originally written as a brass band cornet solo many years ago without any title at that time).The work is also available on ArrangMe in A4 size, with extra transposed parts for European style bands.https://youtu.be/1XkBprsdtts?si=6DEm9EWzIK-CtVXf

Concert Band - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1284635 Composed by Heitor Villa Lobos. Arranged by John Ivor Holland. 20th Century,Classical,Multicultural,World. Score and Parts. 99 pages. John Ivor Holland #875810. Published by John Ivor Holland (A0.1284635). Heitor Villa-Lobos was a prolific Brazilian composer, conductor, ‘cellist, and classical guitarist, and was probably the most significantly inventive individual in 20th-century Brazilian art music. He wrote over 2,000 orchestral, chamber, and vocal works. Central to Villa-Lobos’s compositional language is Brazilian folk music – he spent his formative musical years playing popular songs on the streets of Rio de Janeiro – but also using elements of European classical works and influenced by French music, creating his unique sound world. Sexteto Mistico is a unique composition in one movement, consisting of short sections, each bringing unexpected richness, strangeness, virtuosity and polyrhythms. The opening is diaphanous and other-worldly; instruments enter in turn as if introducing themselves, continually weaving their dreamlike harmonies. In the next segment we’re taken into a dark, atmospheric oboe solo; this, to rippling accompanying arpeggios, twists and turns with lyrical eeriness. In the final section the theme, that the repeated motif had been hinting at, clearly emerges, leading us to a bright conclusion. Reimagined for symphonic band from the original sextet of flute, oboe, alto saxophone, guitar, celesta and harp.
