About The Sets

• Designed to give orchestral players access to world renowned works at every stage of their musical journey right through to county youth orchestra level.
• Every part carefully tailored to match the typical range of techniques encountered by players at either junior or senior levels.
• Extracts from each work can be viewed via the catalogue.  (Please note that the samples have been compressed and therefore both the visual quality and the print quality have been reduced.)
• Each set (score + standard parts) is supplied in a sturdy folder; additional and/or extra parts are available separately.
• All scores and parts are first generation laser printed.    

Parts Supplied

• Quantities of parts supplied in a set are identified against each individual arrangement. Please see details in Catalogue.
• Woodwind parts are one instrument per part for ease of reading.
• Brass parts are often ‘two to a part’ except where this makes parts too busy.

Additional parts

• Providing that a full set is purchased, extra parts, in any number, can be supplied at the time of ordering or at any time in the future.
• Eb Horn and Treble Clef Trombone parts may be ordered as ‘extra parts’.  See order list for each arrangement.
