Grade 5 musicians will find this arrangement of Edward German's incidental music for the play Henry VIII to be a terrific addition to their repertoire. Having won a medal for musical composition at the Royal Academy of Music in London, German became conductor at the prestigious Globe Theater, where the source music for this adaptation was originally performed.

Based on the enduring popularity of Piccolo Espagnol and Piccolo Francaise, Jim penned this delightful, Irish-flavored original. Sporting fanciful solo flourishes a la Galway and a piano part that's easily managed by high school students, we predict that the sales on this release will surpass the two companion pieces in no time flat.
Beautifully transcribed from Tschaikowsky's Album For The Young, this vivid portrayal of a bird in flight is ideally suited to piccolo and flute soloists. Good finger dexterity and the ability to maintain rhythmic alignment with an accompanist are key requirements.
