£91.99The Sun Will Rise Again - Philip Sparke
The composer writes:"On March 11th 2011 a massive 9.0- magnitude earthquake occurred off the coast of north-eastern Japan.I'm writing these programme notes barely a week later and the death toll caused by the quake and resulting tsunami already exceeds 6000, with thousands of people still unaccounted for. I have many friends associated with many bands throughout Japan and one of these, Yutaka Nishida, suggested I write a piece to raise money to help those affected by the disaster. I was immediately attracted by the idea and have arranged Cantilena (a brass band piece recently commissioned by the Grenland International Brass Festival, Norway) for wind band, giving it a new title tohonour my friends in the Land of the Rising Sun.I will be donating royalties from this piece to the Japanese Red Cross Society Emergency Relief Fund and am delighted to say that my distributors, De Haske, who will generously also donate all net profits from sales of this piece, have pledged a substantial advance payment to the Red Cross so that what little help this project generates can be immediate.It is my sincere wish that this 'Band Aid' project will allow wind bands around the world support the people of Japan, where bands are a way of life for many, in this difficult time".Philip Sparke

£103.20Eternal Harmony - Kevin Houben
In memory of Ralph Lenssen - dedicated to the Royal Wind Orchestra St. Philomena Chevremont on the occasion of its 125th anniversaryEternal Harmony is a restrained yet powerful tribute in which memory, connection, and musical tradition come together. The work was composed in memory of Ralph Lenssen and dedicated to the Royal Wind Orchestra St. Philomena Chevremont, which celebrates an impressive musical legacy with this anniversary.At the heart of the composition lies an intensely lyrical melody that runs like a guiding thread throughout the piece. This musical core is continuously illuminated, deepened, and transformed, giving rise to a rich and layered sound world.Throughout the work, an expressive journey unfolds, filled with subtle and enchanting turns. The wind orchestra is used in all its facets: from intimate, transparent passages to full, sustained soundscapes. This interplay creates a spectrum of contrasts in which musicality, balance, and tone color take center stage.Warm harmonies and organically flowing chord progressions contribute to an atmosphere of serenity and reflection. At the same time, the music builds toward moments of intensity and emotional depth, in which the orchestra reveals its full sonic richness.Eternal Harmony is thus more than a composition: it is a musical remembrance, a quiet dialogue between past and present, and a tribute to both a cherished individual and an orchestra that has embodied music and community for 125 years.

£72.99Nature's Way - Gunther Schuller
From the composer: Nature's Way for intermediate level band was commissioned by BandQuest, a project initiated by the American Composers Forum. Their mission is for major composers of national reputation to write works of high quality that take into consideration the (still comparatively limited) levels of musical development--both technical and conceptual--typical of such ensembles. I eagerly accepted the commission and the challenges implied thereby--that is, to reign in my creative imagination to some extent and limit the technical/conceptual demands to a more moderate level than is to be found in my previous compositions for band. Nonetheless, since the process of rehearsing, studying and performing a work created specifically for the school student market is--and must be, in my view--primarily educational, it was very clear to me that my work would (and should) challenge the players at least to their top levels, and even a little beyond that. Thus Nature's Way in no way represents a compromise of my personal style, nor my long held concepts of form, continuity, texture, and instrumentation. I have known for a long time that young, inquisitive minds are eager to learn from new experiences, from previously never encountered challenges, that is to say, to be pushed--gently--to rise above their present levels of achievement. That's what education is all about. BandQuest, an exciting series of new music and accompanying curricula for band, is a program published by the American Composers Forum. The series was started as a response to feedback from music educators that there is a pressing need for new, fresh band music. The heart of this program is new works written by a diverse group of leading American composers who have created challenging pieces that are a true departure from standard middle school repertoire. Every BandQuest project includes a residency component in which the composer works collaboratively with a middle school as they create their new piece. Many BandQuest pieces are accompanied by an interdisciplinary curriculum designed to assist students as they learn the music and to integrate each piece with non-music studies.
