£159.60Variations on a Japanese Folksong - Henk van Lijnschooten
The pentatonic, so characteristic of Japanese folk music, plays an important role in this work. After a short introduction, we hear the theme, which subsequently undergoes a number of metamorphoses. Sometime, the original theme gives way to other folk song elements. Towards the end, a new theme appears - a little Japanes dance tune - played by flutes and clarinets. Yet another theme arises from this. In the finale, the three themes come together, and finally the main theme predominates.

£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.

£186.20Une Vida Un Dia - Pablo C. Escande
The title a life, a day or life as one day is the basis of the musical contents of this composition. It consists of five parts and is written in a neo baroque style, combining a number of baroque music elements, such as imitative counterpoint, abundant ornamentation and tutti solo effects, with more contemporary elements such as composed rhythms, modal harmonics and dodecaphony.Part 1: Alba - Dawn. Just before the sun rises, the world is full of tensed expectation of a new beginning. At daybreak a new life is received with cries of jubilation.Part 2: La Maana - Morning. The early life has begun. Hardly conscious of its environment, the child is resting in its mother's loving embrace.Part 3: Mediodia - Midday. Now is the time! Time to work, to love and to dance in the midday sun, but also to start the fight, before strength is flowing away. Let's not waste time!Part 4: Tarde - Twilight. The day is not over yet, but time passes by. Dusk is falling, the end approaches inevitably...Part 5: La Noche - Night. The comforting dark relieves the strong anxiety of the soul. Finally the soul is released of all worldly bonds.
