£101.50Scherzo: Cat and Mouse - Robert Spittal
The "cat and mouse chase" has been a part of folklore and popular culture since the time of pharaohs in ancient Egypt. Over the ages, the chase has served as a metaphor for the suspenseful and sometimes alternating relation between hunter and hunted. In the modern age, the story has been played out hundreds of times in popular animated cartoons, often accompanied by a musical score representing the energetic spirit of the chase with lively twists and turns, sudden surprises and tongue-in-cheek music. In this spirit of playfulness and suspense, Robert Spittal has created a marvelous work that is both entertaining and exhilarating.

£129.99And Then the Ocean Glows - Johann Strauss
And Then the Ocean Glows was commissioned by Niihama Grade School and its director, Mr. Shinichi Tagawa and completed in April of 2002. Mr. Tagawa and I titled the piece together, drawing from sectional themes of "Shining Morning Ocean", "Wind Stormy Ocean" and "Large Mother Ocean." Before I began composing the piece, I visited Niihama's rehearsal and met the band's inspired young students. The work's theme and melodies are enjoyable and compelling for musicians; I would be delighted for bands to experience this fresh composition.Niihama Grade School Band performed this work for the All Japan Band Contest in 2002 and advanced to divisional level to receive a gold prize. The band also appeared in the TBS Children's Music Contest and received a first prize. (Satoshi Yagisawa)

Invocation and Dance - Carl Strommen
Starting from a lovely and haunting melody introduced by the clarinets, Carl Strommen's Invocation and Dance, in two contrasting sections, is an object lesson in how to write memorably for young musicians using simple, straightforward and appealing material. The fast second section begins with some wonderful quiet percussion writing and the phrase and meter shifting versions of the original tune cleverly vary it before leading to the fully-scored return of the melody in its original form. This selection is contest and festival material of the highest quality. Duration: 4'40"
