Down From The Shimmering Sky - James Curnow
A concert "centerpiece", this major work from James Curnow explores the spiritual perspectives of the First Nations of the Pacific Northwest in North America. The five movements investigate the "Cosmos" and its four "Worlds". With such complete contrasts as "The Undersea World" and the ceremonial dance in "The Mortal World", an authentic First Nations melody in "The Spirit World" and the ethos of "The Sky World", the wonders are many. Your performance of "Down From The Shimmering Sky" will be meaningful and memorable for musicians and audience alike. This is a landmark piece for concert band.

£113.30Fantasy For Winds - Lorenzo Pusceddu
The piece opens with a sumptuous celebratory fanfare dominated by the brass section. In the following Allegro, the woodwind instruments weave their graceful melodious plots, with occasional intense interruptions by the brass section. The piece continues with Valzers where the initial melancholic mood set by the woodwind is superseded by the brass section harkening back to modal musical mode before, once more, being taken up by the woodwind instruments. The piece closes with a gently expressive Andante. The gentle delicacy of this section moves to a moderate Allegro featuring a running dance with light-hearted irregular rhythm. The return to the opening fanfare brings us back to the anniversary celebrations of the Band and a solemn final sequence to the composition. The debut performance took place under the direction of the composer at the Gala Concert on March 28, 2009.
