Timpani-This tried-and-true collection by Rubank includes easy arrangements of 16 marches written with the young band in mind.

Adventure Land was commissioned by Clermont Communauté (which includes the city and suburbs of Clermont-Ferrand) and the CREA (the directors of the local music schools and conservatoires). This work was the opening piece of a show combining orchestra, choir and actors, which was co-written by the author and producer David Bulcourt. The story takes place in the city of Clermont-Ferrand, which an explorer discovers through a series of riddles and adventures. Adventure Land is written in the form of a symphonic march which features a slow and pleasant passage in the middle of the work. The result is a dynamic and playful piece, similar to the style that one might find in cartoons or animated films.

For the project The Music of Kurt Weill, Peter Kleine Schaars rewrote a number of works by the German composer Kurt Weill (1900?1950) for the ?Dreigroschen-Orchester? (an occasional ensemble with the line-up that Weill had prescribed for his Kleine Dreigroschenmusik). Kleine Schaars became inspired by the three periods that characterize the life of Weill: he successively lived in Berlin, Paris and New York. Three Aspects of Kurt Weill (with the subtitle Drei Kurzweilige Impressionen) has one theme that comes forward in three totally different atmospheres, corresponding with the three mentioned periods. Movement one is a ?Berlin-tinted? protest march and parodies the fascist use of music. Movement two is a French musette (valse de Paris). Finally, the theme is featured in big band style in movement three: here, your ensemble transforms into a swinging Broadway band.

Eight Varied Pieces For Orchestra-Three new collections of varied pieces for orchestra for players from beginner to grade 3 standard.This collection of three books each containing eight varied pieces has been compiled to capture the imagination of young players and to introduce them to a wide range of musical styles.Special effects appropriate to each instrument provide additional learning points and great entertainment both in rehearsal and performance. There are glissandos for strings and trombone flutter tonguing for flute and trumpets (for those able to) and a range of vocal sounds for all!The scoring allows these pieces to be played by variouscombinations of instruments. Ideally your orchestra should have some instruments from each section but if not (for example no brass) then the supplementary piano part (available separately) can be used to fill the gaps. It can also be used to provide extra support in rehearsals.As well as the normal percussion parts some of the pieces make use of a drum kit.
