Brian Balmages - Radiance (Grade 1)
A$
96.00
Publisher: FJH Music Company This sparkling work harnesses the full capability of a large percussion section! Including 3 different parts for bells along with optional vibraphone (up to three players on one instrument!), chimes and a variety of other instruments, the music comes to life through a series of simple rhythmic fanfares bursting with energy. A great opener or closer! (1:45) |

Robert Buckley - Attack of the Cyborgs (Grade 1)
A$
95.00
Publisher: Hal Leonard Half human, half machine - the cyborgs are about to invade planet Earth! Robert uses his background in composing sci-fi scores for television to create this epic cinematic composition that pits humanity against the sinister cyborg army. Skilfully scored for 2nd year players, Attack of the Cyborgs sounds more impressive and advanced than its grade level would suggest. (2:30) |

Robert Buckley - Snow "Yuki" (Grade 1)
A$
84.00
Publisher: Hal Leonard Snow is based on the charming Japanese children's song “Yuki.” Robert has combined this song with an original festive melody to create a joyful winter holiday piece. Everyone gets a chance to shine in this beginning band piece - suitable for that first holiday concert! (2:15) |

Francois Dorion - Blue Sky Rock (Grade 1)

84.00
Publisher: Hal Leonard Even on cloudy days your beginning band will have fun with Blue Sky Rock. There are melody spots for all instruments, including a “question and answer” section, and easy rhythms with no syncopation. |

Timothy Loest - Abandoned Toy Shop (Grade 1)
A$
108.00
Publisher: FJH Music Company Orphaned toys come to life in this eerie tour of an abandoned toy store. The work opens and closes with Victor Herbert's dreamlike Toyland as a Jack-in-the-box plays Pop Goes the Weasel. A wealth of toy sounds make their appearance among diminished chords, tri-tones, and the Dies Irae, which surrounds an aleatoric section featuring a whole host of noisy toys. Highly accessible, extremely creative, and definitely memorable! (2:30) |

Michael Oare - Chaos Mountain (Grade 1)
A$
84.00
Publisher: Hal Leonard Using nothing faster than a quarter note (except 8th notes in percussion) and working in melody spots for every section, Michael Oare does a masterful job of capturing a sense of adventure - and possibly danger! - in this powerful work for beginners. This is sure to become a favorite! (1:55) |

Michael Sweeney - Ancient Voices (Grade 1)
A$
95.00
Publisher: Hal Leonard Rarely does any single publication have such an effect on band literature as this unique and striking composition from 1994. Individually, the parts are relatively simple. Yet the combined effect is sophisticated and impressive far beyond its easy level. Michael uses a wealth of contemporary devices (including tone clusters, recorders, singing, pencil tapping) to create an aura of prehistoric times. This new edition includes a full recording and is a must for every program. |

Traditional arr. Michael Sweeney - Celtic Air and Dance (Grade 1)
A$
95.00
Publisher: Hal Leonard Drawing on the rich and varied tradition of Celtic folk songs, this piece opens with the touching and melodious The Parting Glass. The flutes and percussion take centre stage on the dance-like Tha Mi Sgith (A Fairy's Love Song), then finally the entire band gets into the act for the rousing finish. |
