Nigel Hess: The Catskills: Concert Band: Score and Parts

This pack compliments the standard symphonic wind band sets of parts for 'The Catskills' one of the three movements from 'East Coast Pictures'. The extra parts include Horns in E flat Tenor Trombones in treble clef Bass Trombone in bass clef (reading as B flat) and Tubas in treble clef and E flat. Each pack also contains a transposing score.

These three short ‘pictures’ were inspired by several visits to a small part of the American East Coast an area which provides great extremes in the geography and the people.'Shelter Island' is a small island situated almost at the end of Long Island a few hours drive east of New York. In the summer it becomes a crowded tourist trap but in the winter it is gloriously deserted and bravely faces the onslaught of the turbulent Atlantic shrouded in sea mists and driving rain. In upstate New York lie 'The Catskills' Mountains an extraordinary combination of tranquillity and power peace and majesty. Once seen they call you back again and again.New York - or to be more precise Manhattan. For anyone who is familiar with this bizarre and wonderful city this ‘picture’ needs no explanation. For those not yet hooked here is a small foretaste of things to come!
