There are some fantastic new releases out on the PLC Music label — all with a Christmas flavour.

PLC
 

Paul Lovatt-Cooper has just completed two new exciting Christmas pieces that are now available to purchase from www.plcmusic.com.

Great starter

'Christians Awake'

This Christmas fanfare is a great way to start a concert or a second half. It has lots of excitement in the fanfare while the use of the Christmas carol 'Christians Awake' gives it a fantastic sense of occasion. Ideal for 3rd Section bands and upwards.

Ideal choice

'Carol of the Bells'

Based on the famous Ukrainian Christmas Carol and made famous with the film 'Home Alone', this piece would be a fantastic addition to any Christmas concert programme.

It is ideal for any band 4th Section and upwards and it has a unique twist to it with a choice of two different endings.

More new works

Other pieces available from Paul Lovatt-Cooper are three solos — the euphonium solo 'Canzona Bravura', a xylophone solo 'Jack in a Box' and a cornet/flugal solo 'Emerald Skies' — perfect Xmas gifts to aspiring soloists in any band!

Rip roaring

There is a rip-roaring grand concert march entitled 'On The Castle Green', Paul's magical and exciting 'Enchanted Kingdom', the tub-thumping rock style opener 'Pound The Streets' and 'Wall of Sound' — a real feel-good concert finale.
