£90.30Turn of a Friendly Card II - Alan Parsons
This arrangment is part of the Alan Parsons Project. The Turn tells the story of the entrance a gambler makes into a casino, full of expressionless faces and the endless spinning of the roulette wheel. The addiction is summed up as thus. "No game ever ends when your whole world depends on the turn of a friendly card". Parsons compares the chance game players with relics and pilgrims. The players enter the casinos, the pilgrims, the cathedrals.

£60.99Solveig's Song (from Peer Gynt Suite No. 2) - Edvard Grieg
Composed by Edvard Grieg in 1875, music from Peer Gynt was originally incidental music for Henrik Ibsen's five-act play. The beautiful Solveig's Song is from the second orchestral suite later extracted by Grieg. Johnnie's tender setting opens with a lyric theme scored for the trumpet section. A brief andante section features the woodwinds before returning to the opening melody this time richly scored for full band. A beautiful work for teaching lyric style playing.

£186.20Suite No.1 - Oliver Waespi
The "Suite for Wind Orchestra" has three parts. The introductory "Symphonic Movement" is based on two opposite musical ideas. The first is chromatic, whereas the second is rather diatonically harmonized. The "Nocturne" or second part is contrasting with the preceding part and is written in the minor key. The quiet atmosphere at the end of the "Nocturne" is abruptly interrupted by the "Toccata". This part, a "Vivace", leading into a "Presto" at the end, has a wild, passionate character.
