£123.95Symphonic Overture - Charles Carter
Symphonic Overture is a contemporary-sounding overture of medium difficulty so scored that it can be performed with equal success by large and small groups alike. Employing the familiar three-part form (A-B-A), the opening section has a theme which is robust in character and with considerable rhythmic interest. The second theme, slow and expressive in character is a free form based on an opening idea introduced by the first flute. At the return of the first section, the first theme is treated as a fugue subject building to great heights as all four entrances are achieved. As the exposition concludes, the contrapuntal texture gives way to a homophonic quality which closes the piece.The coda, as is characteristic, utilizes material from the first theme.

£61.00Toccatino and Fugetta - Uri Hodorov
The American conductor and composer Uri Hodorov, actually working in Israel, has been inspired by the great Johann Sebastian Bach to write this original, light and rather easy 'toccata and fugue' for symphonic band. The title clearly indicates that, despite the references to the master's model, this composition is contemporary and rather short, in order to be within reach of the average wind band. A nice tribute to old father Back avoiding the ambush of the pastiche.

£214.80Virtual Visions - Hans Kox
This monumental work of the Dutch composer Hans Cox had it's premiere in 2004. The original title of Virtual Visions was 'Laarbeek Suite'. Laarbeek, a community in Holland of the former places; Lieshout, Beek and Donk and Aarle-Rixtel. The composer was inspired by the surroundings and people that lives in Laarbeek. Characteristic windmills, wide views, poplars, but also the religious habitans and culture of this inspiring area are beautifully translated into music.Hans Kox received several prices. Preludium and fugue have been rewarded in 1954 at the international organ competition in Haarlem. In 1956 he received the cultural price of Arnhem and the Music award of Amsterdam. In 1959, the 'Visser-Neerlandiaprijs' for its first symphony. In 1970, the Prix Italia for 'in Those Days' and in 1974, the first price of the Rostrum of Composers for 'L' Allegria'.

£228.70Konsertouverture - Viktor Widqvist
This piece was composed in 1937 in the composer's later part of life. Here, Widqvist shows his broad competence as a composer by using both classic marching and late-romantic thematic elements with exciting harmonic twists. In addition, you can find a perfect fugue where the composer shows that he masters this advanced composition technique. One can imagine that Widqvist wanted to show off his entire repertoire of knowledge to take the lead in the unspoken competition with colleague and friend Sam Rydberg. Rydberg had several years earlier composed a concert overture with a similar form. However, this piece is simpler in its design and lacks the technical brilliance that Widqvist shows in his contrapuntal treatment and harmonious diversity.The concert overture was re-orchestrated in 1939 by the composer for symphony orchestra, and it is this version and the original score for a large military orchestra that form the basis for this edition. My aim has been to keep all of Widqvist's original intentions, but still make use of all the possibilities of the modern symphonic wind orchestra. The composer's own arrangements for symphony orchestra have been of great help in this work.- Niclas Blixt -
