Each Time You Tell Their Story - Samuel R. Hazo
Sam Hazo, composer of In Heaven's Air, offers this new beautiful work based on a poem written by his father, poet laureate of Pennsylvania. After a sensitive introduction, the poem is read under a haunting military cadence in the percussion. The material in the introduction is then developed and presented in a lush and beautiful setting. Chimes, wind chimes, and bells conclude the work which fades to silence. Very compelling.

Smithsonian Suite - Brian Balmages
This 4-movement multicultural suite provides a wealth of teaching and performance opportunities, especially at the beginning level. Each movement is based on a Smithsonian National Museum in Washington D.C. (Natural History, American Indian, African Art, and Air and Space). These movements can easily be performed separately. In addition to cross-curriculum teaching, the opening theme is slightly altered in each movement, teaching the concept of variations. Strongly consider this new work.

An Irish Tale
Based on the folk song While History's Muse (subtitled Air: Paddy Whack), this delightful arrangement in 3/4 has all the characteristics of a lighthearted Irish dance. A tambourine and clarinet drone set the stage for the flute melody that is eventually passed throughout the ensemble. A key change to E= builds until the piece returns to the lighthearted style of the opening one last time. Great writing for young bands! (1:55)

£140.80Mannin Veen - H. Wood
This piece is based on 4 songs from the island Man. The first, The Good Old Way, is an old and typical Air, mostly written in Dorian mode. The biggest part of the song is probably added aroun 1882, after the introduction of the primitive Methodism on the island.The second song, on which the faster part of the piece is composed, is a real Folk tune: The Manx Fiddler. Chaloner, a seventeenth century writer, found out that the island of Man's population felt very much attracted to the violin and that in almost every family someone played the instrument.The third song, Sweet Water in the Common, is about dike boards and the last part is a beautiful old hymn, The Harvest of the Sea, sung by fishermen after their safe return.

£76.80Berceuse - Johann Sebastian Bach
Bach arranged quite a lot of both his own music and that of others for all kind of instrumental combinations. Sometimes he also used the same tunes in several of his works. This 'Berceuse' (Lullaby) is not only known as an air from the famous 'Christmas Oratorio' (Weihnachtsoratorium), but is also a part of the cantata 'Lat uns Sorgen, lat uns wachen'. Despite the abundance of notes, the lullaby character is apparent.
