Band Music

Spring 2020

Coronavirus

With no band rehearsals this is a great time to review band music and select new solos and great music which is fun to hear and to play. We are offering a 20% discount on all original compositions and arrangements - just use the discount code Virus20. This is not valid for arrangements published with permission of Hal Leonard Corporation and available from SMP Press.

Some Favourties


Baby Shark This continues to be one of our best selling numbers partly because its sophistication means that it appeals to a wider audience. Why not have a listen?

We offer a selection of solos for various instruments but Irish Melody played on Bb cornet or flugel remains the most popular. Our favourite is Trombone Emoticons although bass players prefer Old Man River. Email us if you would like a free copy of the solo part.

Io Tectonics is one of our favourite dramatic original compositions for Brass Band although Reflections is rather moving and Welshmen should have a listen to Sosban Fach

This year there will be no parade in Stratford-upon-avon to mark Shakespeare's birthday but Stratford Parade is a march with a difference that makes it fun to play. 1918 Victory March is a more traditional march.

New Popular Arrangements

Someone You Loved is a great arrangement of the Lewis Capaldi hit which is not too demanding to play.

From the film with the same name Schindler's List has been arranged as a Euphonium solo which can also be performed on Baritone or Trombone. With its haunting melodies this is a sure hit with audiences and players.

Oh, Pretty Woman has become a timeless hit dating back to the 1960s. This dramatic arrangement is fun to play without an over-reliance on percussion.

If your looking for something a little different then Black Magic by Little Mix (2015) is quite playable which is more demanding on the players' tongues than their lips.

Everything, the Michael Buble hit, will be well received by audiences with a link featuring Euphonium.
