Croft Music
Compositions and arrangements for brass band
Welcome to Croft Music
I'd like to welcome you to this site which features
some of my compositions and arrangements for brass bands and ensembles. There's also some band and choral music available.
Please browse the catalogue and see what's on offer.
Viewing and downloading music
| All of the scores have been created using Sibelius software. With the free Sibelius Scorch plug-in, you can view and listen to them easily. You can get it here. |
 |
| From the Catalogue page, you can view any of the scores and listen to the music. Just click the icon
next to the description of the piece. |
 |
| If you want a score and set of parts, just click the PDF icon to download a zipped folder of PDFs which you can then print and save. (Here's some info on zip files if you're unsure.) |  |
How much does the music cost?
The music on the site is available free of charge. If you use it, though, please make a small voluntary contribution to a charity of your choice. See FAQs for more information.LATEST ARRIVALS
Olympic Torch - a simple, lively march celebrating...well, the Olympic Torch! Can be played in short (2' 20") or full length (c 5 mins) versions. View PDF score here.
The Queensferry Suite is a celebration of the town of South Queensferry which lies on the south bank of the River Forth in the shadow of the Forth Rail Bridge and Road Bridge. View PDF score here.
Viewing scores on a mobile?
Unfortunately, Scorch doesn't work on mobile phones. You can however view PDF scores from this page. Most scores on this site have a link to a PDF version from the Scorch page.
A word about sounds..
Scorch plays the score back in MIDI, which does not give a good
representation of brass instruments, so I've included some live
performances to give a better idea of the works. There's more on this
here
and in the
FAQs
section.
Enjoy browsing!
If you're looking for something specific for a contest or concert, I've added a summary page which gives overview information on the pieces available - duration, difficulty, etc.
You can access it here.
