Los Angeles, CA — August 4, 2011

Alfred Music Publishing, the world leader in educational print music publishing since 1922, expands the Instrumental Solos series with the addition of Classic Rock and Pop & Rock Hits sheet music folios, a collection of classic and current chart-topping hits.

Classic Rock Instrumental Solos series  features hit songs from legendary bands such as The Eagles, Fleetwood  Mac, Journey, The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Cream, and more. Pop & Rock Hits Instrumental Solos features  some of today’s hottest artists including Katy Perry, Bruno Mars, Lady  Antebellum, Green Day, and more. Arrangements in both books are  available for Flute, Clarinet, Alto Sax, Tenor Sax, Trumpet, Horn in F,  Trombone, Violin, Viola, Cello, and Piano Accompaniment (for band  instruments only). A removable piano accompaniment part is included in  each of the stringed instrument books. Appropriate for Level 2–3  players, band arrangements – and separately the string arrangements –  are completely compatible with each other and can be played together or  as solos.

The included CDs for Instrumental Solos series feature  fully orchestrated accompaniment tracks to each song. Each track has  two parts to it – a demo track which features a live instrumental  performance, which is then followed by the play-along track.

Classic Rock Instrumental Solos and Pop & Rock Hits Instrumental Solos Book & CD sets are now available from $10.99 to $14.99 each, and can be found at music retail stores and at alfred.com.
