£90.30Omaggio a S.E.M. - L. Navisse
This concertmarch was composed in 1994 and it was dedicated to a medieval town. At the beginning you can hear the dissonant blares (trumpets, cornets, horns and trombones) symbolising the rivalry between the four districts of the town. Then, the piece is a symphonic march in Italian style but not completely traditional. Before the end, it is possible to hear the blares of brass again, but now they are melodious, so the piece turns sweetly to the end.

£121.70The Highlights from Elisabeth - Michael Kunze
The life of the Austrian empress Elisabeth (1837-1898) which started as a fairy tale but ended as a tragedy, inspired the librettist Michael Kunze and the composer Silvester Levay to write a musical based on the life of the popular 'Sissi'. The musical was premiered in Vienna on 3 September 1992 and was very successful for many years. The story is told by Luigi Lucheni, Elisabeth's murderer. So death, represented by a mysterious and seductive young man, is omnipresent throughout the musical. Several songs have become hits and, of course, you can hear them in this fine selection by Peter Kleine Schaars who gathered various music and dance styles such as the rock shuffle, the jazz waltz and the classical Viennese waltz.

£61.00Caro Mio Ben - T. Giordano
Here we have one of the most famous 'Arie antiche' (ancient aria's) from the 18th century, written in the style of Handel. For many years it has been attributed to Giuseppe Giordani, opera and sacred music composer of the Neapolitan school. However, recent investigations clearly established that this song had actually been composed by his son Tommaso (1733-1806). This delicate wind band arrangement by Willy Hautvast can also be performed with a vocal soloist or a mixed choir.

£90.30Music-Hall Music - Bob Gay
This composition by Bob Gay and Marcel Peeters is a musical nostalgic recollection of 'those good old times...when everything was better than nowadays (?)'. It evokes the atmosphere and the conviviality one could find in those years in the music-halls and variety theatres with their singers, dancers, jugglers, illusionists etc. Today one can hardly hear this type of music any more, except at special occasions or in the circus world. In the meantime, the 'musical' has become the worthy successor to the operetta.
