£140.80BeeCeeBeeGee - Terry Kenny
No, the music Bee Cee Bee Gee is not based on these four notes, though they all occur frequently in each movement. B.C.B.G. stands for Bon Chic Bon Genre, a term applied to the wealthy and fashionable young. The music describes the main events in a day in the life of one of these gilded youths. In the morning she bustles round the boutiques, the afternoon is spent lazing on the beach, and in the evening she lets off steam at an exclusive night club.

£90.30Triana - Isaac Albéniz
TRIANAThe twelve part piano composition 'Iberia', published in four volumes between 1906 and 1909, is often considered as the absolute summit of all piano compositions by Albniz. Among those pieces 'Triana' is one of the most popular, not in the least thanks to the splendid orchestration by Fernndez Arbs, who also made famous orches-trations of 'Corpus Christi en Sevilla' (Feast Day in Sevilla), 'Evocacin' (Evocation) and 'El Puerto' (The Harbour).'Triana' evokes the famous suburb separated from the centre of Sevilla by the Guadalquivir river. It combines the rhythms of the 'sevillanas' and the 'rasguedo' (arpeggios) of the guitars with the charm of a melodic song. Juan V. Mas Quiles made this arrangement for symphonic band from the original piano score.

£140.80Cinquantieme - Serge Lancen
Cinquantieme, the fiftieth composition for symphonic band by Serge Lancen, was composed in the fall of 1993. It is written in an overture form and built on four distinct themes. First there is a merry and dynamic March, followed by a Waltz of the same character; then comes a small melody and finally the March turns up again, but this time it ends with a triumphant theme. The overture is dedicated to Alain Thiery and his Symphonic Band of Pont-Ste-Marie/La-vau/Creney. It was premiered during the gala concert closing the 120th anniversary celebrations of that band. The number in the title 'Cinquantieme' (Fiftieth), indicates the richness of Lancen's wind band repertoire. Fascinated by the symphonic band's extremely rich range of tone colours, Lancen has devoted all his talent and passion to it. For this type of orchestra he has written symphonies, rhapsodies, several concertos and even religious compositions with choirs and soloists.

£116.40Suite de Salon - Henk van Lijnschooten
Commissioned by the NIB, the Dutch Wind Music Institute, with the financial support of the 'Fonds voor de scheppende Toonkunst'.CommentaryThis suite brings us back to the 18th century when an important part of the musical life took place in the salons, the favorite quarters of monarchs and important people.There is a ball and we can hear the music in four successive short movements.1. Entree. After an opening fanfare we see the solemn reception of the guests. The composer uses some 17th century musical principles such as the echo dynamics.2. Invitation a la Danse. The guests proceed to the ballroom and are officially introduced. This movement has a 'classical' character.3. Chiaconna. A solemn dance of Spanish origin with a single theme that is repeated with different embellishments and accompaniments.4. Danse Finale. A cheerful dance announces the departure of the guests, but, for sure, the feast will have lasted much longer than this suite.

£159.60Radiovariations - J. Alamá-Gil
In his 'Radiovariations' the Spanish composer Jos Alam-Gil wrote four very different variations on a 'radio theme' that is heard in the broad introduction. The 1st variation is lively and very rhythmical. The 2nd variation is a blues with slightly swinging accompaniment. The 3rd variation has a faster tempo and uses typical traditional Spanish folk instruments such as the Dulzaina (a treble shawm) and tabla (small timpani). The 4th variation is also very lively, whereas the short finale picks up again the initial theme to conclude this fine composition.
