£118.00How the Grinch Stole Christmas - By Dr. Seuss, Albert Hague and Eugene Poddany / arr. Larry Clark
Of all the Dr. Seuss stories, possibly none is more delightfully charming than the take on that mean old man who disliked Christmas so much that he stole all the presents, the toys and the Christmas trees. As should befall any villain, he is transformed and his heart "grew three times its size." This is a superior holiday medley with two great songs and wonderful incidental music. Seasonally spectacular! (duration 5:01)

£105.80Copplia - Léo Delibes
Copplia, a ballet in two acts and three scenes, was premiered at the Opra National in Paris on 25 May 1870. Despite its early success, performances were interrupted because of the Franco-Prussian War and the siege of Paris in 1870-1871, and also because of the death from smallpox of the young principal ballerina, Giuseppina Bozzacchi, on her 17th birthday. This ballet represented a courageous break with references to supernatural and ethereal spirits so dear to the Romantic esthetic, to address instead a world of adventure. Swanhilde sees, on the balcony of Dr. Copplius, a beautiful girl: is she the daughter of Copplius that no one has ever seen? So, with a series of adventures, Swanhilde and her girlfriends, taking advantage of his absence, manage to enter into the house of Dr. Copplius, a toy manufacturer and a magician. Here, they discover that Copplia, the beautiful daughter, is nothing else but a mechanical doll. Meanwhile Franz, the boyfriend of Swanhilde, sneaks into the house through the balcony. The sudden return of Copplius scares away the kids: only Swanhilde (hidden behind a curtain) and Franz remain. Copplius is able to sedate Franz, who has since declared his love for Copplia and, laying him close to the mechanical doll he tries, thanks to his magic, to take Franz's spirit and transfer it to Copplia. Swanhilde is able to intervene and wakes Franz; she tells him about the deception and escapes with him, while Copplius disconsolately embraces his mechanical doll. The ballet ends with the marriage of Swanhilde and Franz. Lo Delibes (1836 - 1891) was a student of Adolphe Adam at the Paris Conservatoire. The composer of several operettas, he reached success with the ballet Copplia. He wrote other ballets, among which the best known are Sylvia and La Source, and several operas including Lakm.

£79.99Commemoration - James Barnes
Commemoration was commissioned by the members of the Northwest North Carolina Bandmasters Association to recognize the distinguished career of Dr. William A. Gora, the longtime Director of Bands at Appalachian State University, who passed away in 2015. Bill was loved by his students, respected by his peers and cherised by his many friends. A brilliant musician, a fine conductor and a warm human being with a marvelous sense of humor, Bill has been sorely missed by all. Gora was friends with composer James Barnes for over 40 years. They met when Barnes was still in graduate school at Kansas and Gora had just finished his DMA at the University of Florida. When the NNCBDA asked Barnes to compose a work in Bill's honor, he was honored to do so. He decided to write a cheerful work for Bill, full of energy, color and melody, because he knew this is what he would have wanted; no funeral dirges for Bill Gora. The soft middle portion of the work, a hymn-like tune scored in saxophone choir, was included because Bill was a fine saxophonist and, for many years, the saxophone teacher at ASU.

£356.00Symphony No. 5 in B-flat Major, Op. 100 - Sergei Prokofiev
Written in a single summer month while World War II was still raging in 1944, Prokofiev's Symphony No. 5 would become not only one of the composer's most celebrated and performed works, it would stand among the giants in all of 20th Century classical compositions. Cast in four movements, Prokofiev once gave a statement that he intended it as a hymn to free and happy Man, to his mighty powers, his pure and noble spirit. He added, I cannot say that I deliberately chose this theme. It was born in me and clamoured for expression. The music matured within me. It filled my soul. Deliberate or not, his statement likely helped placate the Communist Soviet Party, who under Stalin ruthlessly, and often fatally, censored the art and music of the time. This Southern Music publication represents the first complete band transcription of Prokofiev's monumental work by one of the world's most respected wind band editors, Dr. R. Mark Rogers. The edition provides a rare opportunity in the symphonic wind band repertoire for ensembles to perform an orchestral masterpiece in its entirety.
