£137.70Sjakkmatt! - Hans Offerdal
How do you experience the final thrilling minutes of a chess game when your opponent has taken the upper hand? And how does it actually feel being beaten checkmate? This piece gives you the answers! There are challenges in use of dynamics, articulation, intensity and gradually increasing tempo. Dissonances are present several places, but the voice leading is diatonic and often in repeating patterns. The whole piece is based on one single scale: Bb major scale with augmented fourth and minor seventh. It is notated as a concert Bb major scale with two accidentals. Feel free to use it during warm-up!

£186.20La Inmortal - Ferrer Ferran
A game of chess took place in London between two great masters, Anderssen (English) and Kiesevitzki (Russian). That game was regarded as one of the most beautiful ever played in history. That was the reason why it was christened with the name of 'The Immortal One'. In that game, Anderssen sacrificed important pieces, such as the Queen, to achieve the spectacular checkmate. What would happen if that game got humanised in our imagination through the work of music? Great castles, cavalry, pawns as warriors divided into two Kingdoms that fight to get independent. At the start, the fighting troops fall in at a great open area to defend their fortresses and castles (introduction). The brasswind and drums calls work the start of the battle... Meanwhile, a great calm reigns in the castle foreboding the mighty outcome. The king and queen, unaware of the war, are dancing in the mirrors room but they are interrupted after the warning given about a new attack. Courage and sacrifice are reflected in the image of the queen, who finally sacrifices her life to save her people. She fights with all her strength but falls dead at the battlefield. The king, in revenge, gathers all his men and comes out to fight the cruel, bloody, final battle. The final apotheosis represents the songs of praise for the fallen at the battle.
