The tragic romance of Romeo and Juliet dates from before Shakespeare's 1597 dramatic play. Since then, the story has been adapted for opera, musicals, and film. In the late 1870's Tchaikovsky toyed with the idea of an opera. He completed a Fantasy Overture, and later on, sketched the Duet between the two lovers. A tragedy in itself, Tchaikovsky never finished his opera. Almost 100 years later, Franco Zeffirelli directed a film version where Giovanni Rota Rinaldi (Nino Rota) created the musical score in 1968. The most notable segment is the Love Theme sung by the troubadour during the masked ball where Romeo and Juliet first meet.This setting is based on the timeless innocence of Rinaldi's writing of the Love Theme and makes reference to the passionate duet of Tchaikovksy, with Juliet played by the Tenor Horn and Romeo by the Euphonium. As Shakespeare wrote in Twelfth Night, if music be the food of love, play on!Scored for the smaller British Brass Band with a minimum of 9 parts up to full band.  Duration ~4:25. 40 Pages.

The Yellow Ribbon representing a person's test or trial while they wait for their loved ones to return home has been around for over 400 years. It was prevalent during the English Civil War during the mid-1600s and again by the US Calvary in the late 1800s. The 1972 chart Tie A Yellow Ribbon by Irwin Levine and L. Russell Brown may have been influenced by the older She Wore a Yellow Ribbon, first copyrighted in 1917 by George Norton. Or maybe the 1949 John Wayne movie by the same title. The impact of Tony Orlando's cover of Tie A Yellow Ribbon pushed the symbolism into the public eye after its release in 1973, especially in light of Vietnam and the Iran Hostage Crisis. Today it represents various support groups in different countries; from AIDS to Cancer, to Suicide Prevention, and supporting troops, with a major resurgence in use during the War in Afghanistan as a result of 9/11. This setting for British Style Brass Band is a wonderful addition to the repertoire list for concerts supporting many great causes. Duration ~3:00. 54 pages.

The original work for Concert Band was commissioned by Edward Trovato and his band, The Gleneagle Secondary School Senior Symphonic Band, of Coquitlam, British Columbia, Canada. The inspiration came from the name of a stretch of highway that pays homage to the fallen soldiers. It was composed to honour heroism of all kinds - to pay tribute to the brave souls who every day unselfishly risk their lives and even pay the ultimate sacrifice. There are two Highways of Heroes in Canada, the first being a portion of the King's Highway in Ontario, commonly referred to as Highway 401 and officially known as The MacDonald-Cartier Freeway. The second is the portion of the Trans-Canada Highway in British Columbia between Surrey and Abbotsford. In 2007, The Government of Canada renamed the freeway in Ontario between Trenton, home of the Canadian Forces Base Trenton, and Toronto, where the Office of the Chief Coroner is located. This was the first stop for the fallen returning from Afghanistan before returning home to their families. Although Canada had a special forces team in Afghanistan in December 2001, the first infantry battalion did not arrive until February 2002. That April saw the first casualty. The funeral processions that followed inspired a spontaneous phenomenon of Canadians lining the 100-mile route, waving flags and rendering salutes to remember their country's soldiers. The second Highway of Heroes was dedicated in 2011 to the memory of British Columbians who paid the ultimate sacrifice by giving their lives for their country in Afghanistan and to the families they left behind. This setting for British Style Brass Band was written to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the first main body of Canadian soldiers in Afghanistan and to remember the 159 service personnel and civilians whose sacrifices cannot be forgotten.

Meredith Willson, best known for “The Music Man� and “It’s Beginning to Look A Lot Like Christmas�, wrote music for many genres – from classical symphonies to popular songs, some of which are considered standards today. His chart “Chicken Fat� was re-recorded and used in the iPhone 5S television commercials in 2014. “The Peony Bush� has an interesting backstory. In the early 1940s, The Van Wert (north-western Ohio) Woman’s Club would invite “famous� people to speak to the assembly. It is believed that after learning that Van Wert had a huge peony cultivation festival running since the early 1900s, Meredith wrote this song. One of the first recordings was in 1949 by Danny Kaye; the orchestration was for winds, brass, percussion, and piano. This arrangement for brass band gives your 1st baritone player a chance to shine as the tender ballad singer Danny Kaye and gives your principal cornet player the opportunity to counter with the gravellier voice sounds of Louis Armstrong. It’s great for recitals, spring concerts, concerts in parks, and other occasions. Duration ~3:45. 36 Pages.

For voice and Brass band. Looking for something nostalgic? The Sunshine of Your Smile was written in 1913 by Lilian Ray with lyrics by Leonard Cooke.

Since then, it has had many famous covers. In 1941, Frank Sinatra and Tommy Dorsey recorded this song in a jazz idiom and it remained popular for the remainder of World War II. Later, in 1980, Michael Berry did a cover where it reached the top 10 in the UK Singles Chart. Great for recitals, concerts (love-themed), weddings, and other special occasions.

SUMMERTIME from PORGY & BESS (Brass Band)Now considered a jazz standard, Summertime is the well-loved aria from George Gershwin's only opera, Porgy & Bess.  It premiered on Broadway on October 10, 1935.  Its flexibility allowed Gershwin to use the aria four times within the opera; Clare's lullaby as the opening aria is simple and calm, while Bess's is stormy and full of tension later in the opera.That flexibility also has allowed for numerous covers in various styles - from cool to blues to spiritual, from jazz to big band to classical, rock, and even hip hop.While so many instrumental arrangements are for a soloist and accompaniment, this setting for British-style Brass Band not only mixes some of the styles but also allows many instruments to have their moment to shine with the melody and countermelodies.This is wonderful for concert or festival use.Duration ~4:00   32 Pages.
