During his short lifetime Max Reger (1873-1916) was a prolific composer with many of his best known works being composed for organ. The ten chorale preludes in this selection are from his set of Thirty Short Chorale Preludes Op.135a composed as short voluntaries for liturgical use rather than for recitals in these arrangements Philip Sparke has kept this in mind and each prelude can be performed with minimal instrumentation for those occasions where a small band is needed. They also make great pieces for band warm-ups or studies in intonation sound and balance.

The Latin American mood of the piece is a salute to the population of California a state which many feel still clearly displays its Mexican roots. The melody and intoxicating rhythm of the music oozes excitement thus ensuring every single member of your audience will go home in a joyous mood!

The scope of the genres and styles in Jazz Piano Studies 2 is broader compared to that of Jazz Piano Studies 1 (H5020) since it also covers the various off shoots of contemporary popular music related only marginally to jazz. The selection of twenty studies is aimed at amateur Piano players who are interested in jazz and popular music and serves in particular for the improvement of technique and style. The studies also equip pianists with the necessary grounding for their own improvisation although they can also be used by professional Piano players.

The English king Henry VIII (1491-1547) is mainly remembered for disposing of his wives on a regular basis and breaking with the Catholic Church when the Pope Clement VII refused to grant him a divorce so he could marry Anne Boleyn.As a young man he was a gifted athlete dancer and composer writing many songs poems and consort pieces (though not Greensleeves as is often believed). Pastime with Good Company is undoubtedly the best-known of these written in the first years of the 16th century while he was still a handsome prince newly married to Catherine of Aragon and the envy of Europe. The lyrics tell of the joys of hunting dancing and singing and would have been sungas part of the court entertainment.This arrangement features a quartet of soloists and two solo drummers.

Cantata for Easter Monday- Bleib Bei Uns Denn Es Will Abend Werden BWV 6 Cantata for Easter Monday - Full score & performance material (BA10006) vocal score (BA10006-90) available for sale Barenreiter's editions of Bach 's Cantatas offer the authoritative text of the New Bach Edition meeting Bärenreiter Urtext standards. No group of works in Johann Sebastian Bach ’s output is as wide-ranging as the cantatas. This is hardly surprising considering that for over five years Bach was required to compose a work or at least re-work an existing one for every Sunday and festival of the church year as well as for numerous secular occasions such ascouncil inaugurations school and university celebrations and royal birthdays. Unfortunately not all cantatas have survived. However over 200 sacred and secular works exist and form a corpus of works suitable for all possible occasions. This rich musical heritage is still as relevant today as it was then.
