£407.00Symphony Nr. 3 Urban Landscapes Op. 55 - Franco Cesarini
Fascinated by the beauty of Chicago, Franco Cesarini has translated his emotions into music: this is how Symphony No. 3 "Urban Landscapes" Op. 55, was born, a musical portrait of this metropolis overlooking Lake Michigan. The composition is divided into three movements: The Wrigley Building from Dawn to Noon, Blue Silhouette and Cloud Gates, which by sharing the same thematic material arranged in cyclical form, strengthen the overall cohesion of the piece. The first movement, preceded by a short slow introduction in which the main theme is presented in an almost dreamlike form, metaphorically represents the city at dawn. The sudden change of time symbolizes the start of activities with all its noises and sounds: you can hear the bell that announces the closing of the subway doors, the sound of cars speeding by, the siren of a patrol car. If the first movement represents the day, the second introduces a nocturnal environment: a melancholic melody played by the English horn anticipates a more animated tempo depicting melodies coming from jazz clubs. Powerful fanfares that take up the second theme of the first movement introduce the third movement. In this finale, the role of the two themes is reversed compared to the first movement and one takes the place of the other in a kind of games of mirrors. Symphony No. 3 "Urban Landscapes" Op. 55: a sumptuous musical portrait of the "Windy City".

£67.95In the Pocket - Larry McKenna
Kids love to sound cool. At the Grade 1 level, though there are often jazz titles, seldom do they get to play real jazz harmonies. Larry McKenna is a master at composing a song that is very easy with great voice leadings using real jazz style chords. The flutes get to play trills in a couple of places. The melody is just very nice and easy to play. 1st trumpet's highest note is C. Clarinets do not cross the break.

Captive - Ed Kiefer
Captive is a sophisticated new piece that employs some modern compositional techniques to emulate the sound of electronic instruments with acoustic instruments. You would swear there is a synthesizer being played. The piece is based on the popular carol O Come, O Come Emmanuel, but it is not a holiday piece. This is a totally new composition for contest and festival performance that is different and refreshing and builds to an effective climax that impresses audiences.
