Ron van Riel composed Solidarity in Gold to commemorate the 50th anniversary of his band, Cromvoirtse Fanfare. The music reflects all the various facets of life in the club during those 50 years. The beginning, enthusiasm, friendships, the good-times but of course, also pain and sorrow. But what mainly emerges is the bond between the members of this close association. With confidence in the future of the group, they look forward to their next anniversary!

George Harrison's most successful contribution to the Beatles catalog is no doubt this familiar iconic ballad. Paul Murtha's setting for band features alto sax on the melody, followed by the low brass, and a light swing style treatment of the bridge section. Scored with nice variety throughout, this offers a welcome change of pace number for any concert.

This pensive, yet tuneful composition was written to honor the life and memory of a middle school band member in Mississippi. Although technically accessible by most first- or second-year bands, the emotional depth of the piece will provide an excellent vehicle for expressive growth and development. (2:10)

This version is scored for three solo trumpets and band.
Peter Meechan writes : Song of Hope is dedicated to my good friend Ryan Anthony (principal trumpet with the Dallas Symphony Orchestra) and his charity, Cancer Blows – a foundation set up to raise awareness and money to further the research that has helped give their family a hope for a future following Ryan’s diagnosis of Multiple Myeloma
Upon hearing the middle movement (simply titled “Song”) of my cornet concerto, Milestone, Ryan asked me if I could change the end from its current reflective ending to something more uplifting, and to title it Song of Hope, giving it much more meaning than I could have ever imagined.
As well as a wind band scoring without soloist, Song of Hope exists with 1, 2 or 3 soloists, accompanied by either wind band, brass band, brass ensemble or symphony orchestra.
For my friend Ryan.
Each set comes with the soloist part for 1 soloist.
Written for bands of medium ability, Song of Lir suggests an Irish lament, or caoine, and much of the material is derived from a 17th Century Irish harping tune Captain O’Kane. Commissioned by Tim and Hillary Reynish in memory of their son William.

Songs from Across the Water was commissioned by Pennsylvania Symphonic Winds - Phil Evans, Founder and Director. Phil Evans hails from the UK and served for 25 years in the Band of HM Royal Marines. Now resident in the USA he founded Pennsylvania Symphonic Winds in 2008, giving them the tag line ‘An American Band with a British Accent’, as he wanted to combine the best of both countries’ band traditions. With this in mind, composer Philip Sparke decided to create a suite of British folk songs, scored with an American influence to fulfil the philosophy of the band’s tag line. The three movements, which are played without a break, are based on the following folk songs, which come from all corners of the British Isles: The Three Ravens & The Cruiskeen Lawn, The Lark in the Clear Air and The Piper o’ Dundee & Men of Harlech.

Originally recorded by Sam and Dave back in the '60s, this R&B classic was revived in a big way by the Blues Brothers. Paul's outstanding easy version is playable even by very young players. The trademark riffs are still there, but in a solid setting that's easy to learn.
