This arrangement of the classic song by Corey Blyton, made famous by the Australian Broadcasting Television series of the same name is a fun-filled burst of energy. The Stars and Stripes theme becomes a counter-melody with every section of the ensemble being featured. Open or close your next or children's concert with this audience favorite.

Bananas in Pyjamas

From a suite of three miniatures inspired by the remarkable artistry of little-known French impressionist artist Berthe Morisot (1841-1895). Morisot was highly admired by her fellow Impressionist colleagues, and her works were exhibited in the very first Impressionist Salon of 1874 (a salon being an exhibition) as well as many thereafter. This third movement depicts the changes in Morisot's life and painting following her marriage and the birth of her daughter.

Salon Morisot: Enchantment

"Feathered Angels" shares the positive work achieved at Phillip Island in the Australian state of Victoria, where the local little penguin colony has not only been saved, but now thrives alongside humans in neighbouring suburbs. With an electroacoustic soundscape featuring the beautiful sounds of the little penguins, echoed by percussion centralising the work, your audience will be transported to another world of peace, love and family.

Feathered Angels

From a suite of three miniatures inspired by the remarkable artistry of little-known French impressionist artist Berthe Morisot (1841-1895). Morisot was highly admired by her fellow Impressionist colleagues, and her works were exhibited in the very first Impressionist Salon of 1874 (a salon being an exhibition) as well as many thereafter. This second movement from the suite is inspired by Morisot's artwork called The Cradle and is an ideal addition to a program dedicated to mothers and caregivers.

Salon Morisot: Devotion

Kick-start your journey to teaching performance through composition with this simple and fun set. From Book 1 of the TPTC series sold separately.

TPTC Rhythm & Pitch Pack #1: Ewww Yuck

The first movement of a suite of three miniatures inspired by the remarkable artistry of little-known French impressionist artist Berthe Morisot (1841–1895). Morisot was highly admired by her fellow Impressionist colleagues, and her works were exhibited in the very first Impressionist Salon of 1874 (a salon being an exhibition) as well as many thereafter. Inspired by a painting called The Harbor at Lorient, this movement contrasts the grandeur of the tall ships with the sense of separation expressed by the lone woman in the foreground. A perfect concert opener.

Salon Morisot: Majesty

Match rhythms to fruit and then add pitch. It's as easy as that! From Book 1 of the TPTC series sold separately.

TPTC Rhythm & Pitch Pack #2: Fruit Smoothie

Awaken the ghosts in your band room and introduce swing notation. From Book 1 of the TPTC series sold separately.

TPTC Rhythm & Pitch Pack #4: Do you Dare?

The first movement from her Symphony No. 1. In this "fanfare" edition, the burn of summer is depicted in an energetic opening that is also inspired by the birth of the sun. The material commences in gritty, tight harmonic clusters bookended by octave passages, guiding an energetic set of boldly intensifying statements through each of these refracted "light" scales. These harmonic clusters gradually dissipate until the audience is finally released of the tension. The ending depicts cartoonist and poet Michael Leunig's "glorious" light and its ability to consume the darkness that lies within.

The Blessing of Light

Introduce semiquavers easily with material that easily lends itself to storytelling. From Book 1of the TPTC series sold separately.

TPTC Rhythm & Pitch Pack #3: Running to the Station

Create your own nondenominational festive piece with a Christmas carol vibe.

TPTC Rhythm & Pitch Pack #5: Sing to Me

This suite of three miniatures is inspired by the remarkable artistry of little-known female French impressionist artist Berthe Morisot (1841-1895). Morisot was highly admired by her fellow Impressionist colleagues, and her works were exhibited in the very first (and many consequential) Impressionist Salon of 1874 (a salon being an exhibition).

Salon Morisot

Peace Dancer is inspired by the First Nations text of the same name by Roy Henry Vickers (Squamish Nation). Whilst this text afforded many music making opportunities, the composer chose to focus on one moment... “We have really lost our way, we have not taught out children love and respect.” This is achieved by dividing this short piece into ‘moments’: meditation – awakening – realization – humility. Featuring solos for soprano saxophone, flute and horn, this floating work is the perfect "sorbet" amongst heavier works.

Peace Dancer

"Vulnerable Joy" is inspired by the self-sacrifice, commitment and humility of the mother Humpback whale. With a horn feature and a set of inspirational materials available via QR code on each part, this conservation work is sure to inspire audience and performers alike.

Vulnerable Joy

Four composing pieces for wind bands from Grades 1-4+ that link to the text "13 Moons on Turtles Back" by Joseph Brucac, Jonathan London and illustrations by Thomas Locker.

13 Moons

NASA sounds from space, solo for any instrument, timpani feature, layered, independent writing and percussion parts to suit a large army of percussion - what does this piece not offer your and your students?

Earthshine

Inspired by the life, writings and artwork of Australian artist Alice Muskett (1869-1936), "Wind of Life" focuses on the struggles of joyful resolutions of the creative spirit, harnessing much energy from the vivid journal entries of this long forgotten Australian artist.

Wind of Life

Is THIS the year elementary students from K-2 come to one of your concerts – and know the melody from one of your pieces? Lessons from Mother Earth offers an opportunity to build a relationship between local ‘feeder’ elementary schools and the middle school/high school band program. The melody has been deliberately written in an easy singing range for young students. The goal being that K-2 students learn to sing the melody used in the work whilst  studying the “Lessons from Mother Earth” in class.

Lessons From Mother Earth

"The Creation of Faith" (Spring) is the final movement from Blackshaw's "Symphony No. 1". From the opening to the beginning of the dance (measure 81) the feeling of flying through the air with “gay abandon” is captured through morphing wind and melodic percussion lines. Parts weave in and out around a simple Flute melody, underpinned by pulsating, dove-tailed percussion. The dance from 81-end is the rebuilding of human faith with “bits and pieces” as Spring brings us warmth, wildlife and the return of goodness and faith in humanity.
