Ottoman Dances is a work that consists of two dances in a Southeast-European style. One is from Bosnia-Herzegovina and the other is from Turkey. Both of these countries were part of the Ottoman Empire (1350-1918).The first movement is a relatively calm dance with dynamic contrasts and different manners of articulation. The second movement is a fast dance in common time with a lively atmosphere. Bring a bit of eastern delight into your concert with this easy new piece.

£73.50Three Miniatures for Winds and Percussion - Robert Sheldon
Dance like no one is watching, sing like no one is listening and live each day as if it were your last. This famous poem has many versions and is attributed to several authors, yet its simple, eloquent message speaks volumes to millions of people worldwide. The composition therefore has a first movement entitled "Joyful Dance," the second movement is "Simple Song," and the final movement is a "Celebration." Each movement is quite brief but distinctly different, each expressing the feelings inherent in the poem from which the work was drawn. (5:15) This title is available in SmartMusic.

£78.20Kunstler Quadrille - Johann Strauss Jr.
Everybody knows that waltzes, marches and polkas were extremely popular in Vienna in the 19th century. But at least as popular was the quadrille which unfortunately has fallen into oblivion nowadays. It has its origins in the French dance music which explains the typical six part form. It is sheer entertainment and dance music in the shape of a medley. The composer used already existing tunes and could borrow with impunity melodies from contemporary composers.

£121.00Dances For Sem Yeto - Gary P. Gilroy
Commissioned and premiered by the Solano County Honor Band Association to commemorate their 50th anniversary with the composer conducting. Mysterious samplings from the percussion section open while an American Indian flute presents the first theme. As with other works by Gilroy, the composition explores an extensive variety of percussion timbres to keep the piece interesting and always changing. After the introduction, the spirit of the work changes to a lively and festive dance with constantly changing meters which makes the piece come alive. This then winds down to an Indian lullaby, the simple and pensive melody providing a relaxing and welcome change before a dramatic a return to the original festive dance with a slightly modified setting. The final moments of the work are quite fierce with bold and intense percussion accompanying tight harmonies and complex rhythms for an exciting and driving ending..

£52.70Hornpipe - Henk van Lijnschooten
HENK VAN LIJNSCHOOTEN (Den Haag 1928) does not need any introduction. He is one of the pioneers of modern wind band music in The Netherlands and has a worldwide reputation as conductor, teacher and composer. From 1957 to 1964 he was director of the famous Marine Band of the Royal Dutch Marine. It was for the 1960 Delft Tattoo that he made this arrangement of the well-known British sailor's song Hornpipe, named after the typical celtic wooden wind instrument (originally made of cow horns in Wales). The Dutch dance 'horlepiep' refers to the same song and dance.

£140.80El Paso Montanesa - Kees Vlak
This four part suite in Spanish style is named after the second part, the most romantic of the four movements. It pictures a pastoral Spanish mountain village awakening by the sound of the church bells on a Sunday morning. The first part is, of course, a pasodoble and needs no comment. The third part is a Zortzico, a solemn old Spanish dance, written in a 5/8 meter. The final part is a Fandango, an exciting dance of the Spanish gipsies.

£116.40Cordoba - Isaac Albéniz
CORDOBAThis piece is an extract from the five part piano work 'Cantos de Espaa' (Songs from Spain) opus 232 which consists of 'Preludio' (Asturias), 'Oriental', 'Bajo la Palmera' (Cuba), 'Cordba' and 'Seguidillas' (Castilla); some of these parts are also to be found in the 'Suite Espaola'. 'Cordoba', the last part but one, seems to announce the grandeur and serenity of the composer's last works; it is as if he was preparing to retire from the hectic dynamic world. The introduction has a subdued, almost liturgical character, whereas the next dance sounds rather very solemn. Cordba is as an island in the restless stream. It is an Andalusian dance with a majestic character similar to that of the city which inspired the work. This very harmonious composition is one of Albniz's finest.

£76.80Y Ahora - la Conga! - Jef Penders
Jef Penders (1928), the 'Valencian Dutchman', had already enriched the lighter original band repertoire with several fine and creative dance melodies such as a cha-cha-cha, a charleston, a reggae and a waltz. This time, or rather 'today' (ahora), the Spanish sunny climate inspired him to compose this lively and inspiring conga. Originally the conga was a semiritual dance of the Antilles which also soon spread in the New-Orleans area. We bet it will give you the heebie-jeebies.
