Category: SOLOS - Xylophone Composer: Andrea Price
Grade 4.5 (Soloist 6)
The beautiful lilting melody of Scarborough Fair has been expertly woven through contrasting sections of this piece, and unlike most percussion solos there is a chance for the performer to demonstrate their slow lyrical playing as well as their technical wizardry.
Scarborough Fair was premiered in the gala concert at the 2014 German Brass Band Championship, with the composer as the soloist accompanied by the Black Dyke Band.
The solo can be played on either xylophone, marimba or both and requires good technique and stamina in both four and two mallet disciplines.
A fantastic collection of solos ( transcriptions, arrangements and original works ) for Bb. Cornet of trumpet, or indeed any Bb. instrument.
This is fantastic value for money - thirty eight solos with piano accompaniment for £40.00 - just over £1.00 per solo - phew !!

Por una cabeza, literally translated as "by a head [of a horse]" in Spanish (meaning a horse winning a race by one head's distance), is one of the most famous and popular Argentine tangos.
Composer Carlos Gardel (11 December 1890 – 24 June 1935) was a singer, songwriter and actor, and is perhaps the most prominent figure in the history of tango. The music has appeared in numerous TV and Film soundtracks, perhaps most memorably in the famous dancing scene featuring Al Pacino in Scent of a Woman.
This extended arrangement for cornet (or trumpet) incorporates a cadenza and newly written interludes.
Extracts performed by the Brighouse and Rastrick Band, conductor David King. Full recording available on War of the Worlds - The Music of Peter Graham – available on this site.
