£98.20San Carlo - Lorenzo Pusceddu
Ugo Papurello, president of the ''I Filarmonici'' band from San Carlo Canavese (Turin), commissioned this piece to celebrate the group's twentieth anniversary. The opening fanfare is an eloquent and fitting introduction to a solemn celebration. It is followed by the allegro, which has a modal feel and is characterised by a succession of rhythms representing the liveliness ad enthusiasm that have always characterised this band. The andante symbolises a moment of reflection and nostalgic reminiscence. The allegro is repeated as an expression of the hope that the band will continue to set itself increasingly ambitious goals. The fanfare brings back the joyous atmosphere of this special occasion and sets a formal seal on the band's twentieth anniversary.

£71.50Cantilena - Nancy H. Seward
In ABA form, this is an excellent tool for teaching contrasting styles. The opening andante is not difficult and has 2nd and 3rd parts that are rhythmically independent and important. A percussion break leads to the majestic march featuring interesting lines for low reeds/brass.

£104.50Introit and Celebration - Tom Mitchell
This work opens with a dramatic adagio maestoso consisting of broad contrasting rhythms and dissonant brass harmonies. It then leads to the bright allegro con spirito that is marked with rhythmic chordal figures under flowing melodic lines and exciting meter changes. A brief andante expressivo supplies a change of mood and texture before the grandiose and powerful ending. A highlight for any program.
