£54.95Mill Mountain Vistas - By Gary Fagan
This spirited composition for concert band is inspired by Mill Mountain, which is located on the outskirts of Roanoke, VA and provides a wonderful elevated view of both the city of Roanoke and the beautiful Shenandoah Valley. Of particular interest, the mountaintop contains a structure known as the Mill Mountain Star, the world's largest freestanding illuminated man-made star, visible for 60 miles from the air and 1,045 feet above the city of Roanoke.

£73.50L'Esprit du Tour: A Fanfare for Lance - By Randol Alan Bass
This remarkable piece captures the excitement, physical challenge, intensity and, ultimately, the thrill and sense of accomplishment a rider might experience during such a grueling and demanding physical trial as Le Tour de France. Both tonal and non-tonal compositional materials, some indeterminate and serial techniques, special percussion (a six-tom-tom cluster, heavy chains and four metal plates) along with traditional and non-traditional development procedures are used --impressing upon listeners, through sound, a sense and feel of competitive bicycling, from the point of view of the athletes themselves. In hopes of imbuing the music with the flavor of the various cultures coming together for this contest, the composition contains extant source material as well -- including La Marsellaise, The Star-Spangled Banner and a brief reference to The Eyes of Texas.

£73.50Variations on a Nautical Hymn - Arr. Mark Williams
Based on the Naval Hymn, "Eternal Father, Strong to Save," this work opens with an aggressive fanfare which leads to the hymn, stated in a chorale fashion. The first variant is Allegro and features interplay between rhythmic figures in the percussion section with mirrored polychords in the woodwinds. The second variant is reminiscent of the music of Erik Satie and features a beautiful pairing of flute and oboe solos supported by strong countermelodies played by the horns. A third variant in 6/8 provides another interesting point of view before the work closes in Maestoso fashion. Another Mark Williams masterpiece!

Hypnotic Fireflies - By Brian Balmages
This imaginative work depicts a view of an open field on a summer night, when thousands of fireflies light up the darkness. Eventually, the listener is hypnotized by these lights and wakes up in the middle of the field, completely engulfed in magnificent glowing lights. A wealth of interesting effects (including a metal slinky) contributes to the unique and creative sound of this feature work.
