Flexible Woodwind Ensembl-This suite of folk songs is scored for woodwind quartet and a single unpitched drum. Although the nominal scoring is for flute two clarinets and bassoon the piece has considerable inbuilt flexibility of scoring. The options for instruments on each part are as follows: Part 1: Flute oboe or soprano saxophone Part 2: Bb Clarinet or alto saxophone Part 3: Bb clarinet alto saxophone or tenor saxophone Part 4: Bassoon bass clarinet or baritone saxophoneThe piece may be played by any combination of these instruments. Where necessary some passages have been transposed down an octave in the soprano alto and tenor saxophone parts.Where this occurs the lower pitch is also included in the score. There are also a few notes in the bass clarinet part of the March which have been taken up the octave through necessity; similarly this is indicated in the score.The drum should be unsnared and of medium low pitch. A bodhran tenor drum low tom-tom or floor tom are suggested although in the end it is up to the performer!The folk songs used in the piece are not particularly well known these days. 'Gan to the Kye' is an example of the rich culture of traditional music from Northumbria. The title means 'Go to the cows' and is a love song in which the herdsman asks his lover (in a gesture possibly lacking somewhat in romance) to accompany him whilst he tends his herd of cattle.The second movement is a setting of 'Rosemary Lane' a beautiful Somerset song. It tells of a serving girl ill-used by a sailor; as so often in traditional music the beauty of the tune is quite at odds with the unpleasant circumstances related.'Gently Johnny' is a good-humoured song in which the enthusiastic suitor is teased by the object of his affections: he is asked to cool his ardour whilst at the same time being left in no doubt that his attentions may be as bold as he wishes! The middle section uses another song this time from Middlesex called 'Jack Williams'.

But no one will want to sing or play a melody that begins with an octave leap! said an early critic. That melody that no one would sing or play is now probably the best known in the world. From The Wizard of Oz comes the song that has charmed millions. Warren Barker treats this scoring with care in a lush setting perfect for any concert occasion. If you have no vocalist, an optional alto or tenor saxophone solo part is included in the arrangement. It's a perfect audience-pleaser! (4:13) Medium

From one of the greatest Hollywood westerns of all time comes this memorable title song. Jack Bullock's arrangement of The Magnificent Seven captures the excitement and majesty of the Wild West in the days of yore.

All of the familiar themes from the blockbuster hit are contained in this dynamic medley including Rohan, Forth Eorlingas, The March of the Ents, Evenstar, and Gollum's Song. A seamless characterization from the pen of Douglas E. Wagner, this medley is sure to capture the imagination of your entire audience. (6:01)
