£90.30Upside Down - Manfred Schneider
The title of this overture betrays its high-spirited character; it keeps the listener in suspence up to the last strains. The quick and virtuoso introduction Allegro Vivace is followed by a quite melodious Con Moto e Cantabile (written for two parts and in sixths). A Molto Maestoso interludium is followed by two parts Allegro con Fuoco and Moderat, and then the works reaches its only pause with a slowly movement lasting for sixteen bars. The initial tempo Allegro Vivace returns so that the overture can end with the same high-spirited character.

£90.30Goyescas - E. Granados
The pianist and composer Enrique Granados y Campina (Lrida 1867) studied composition with Pedrell in Barcelona. He went to Paris in 1887 to study the piano with de Beriot. In 1901 he founded his own piano school in Barcelona. Granados and his wife died on their way back from America when the passenger ship 'Sussex' was torpedoed by a German submarine in the Channel on 24 March 1916. As a composer he became the founder of the specific Spanish national music. He was most of all inspired by the Spanish capital and more precisely by the Madrid of Francisco Goya. In 1911 he composed two piano albums 'Goyescas', inspired by paintings and tapestries of the painter Francisco Goya y Lucientes (1746-1828), famous for his brillant originality and bizarre imagination. Later on he developed this music into an opera, based on a libretto by Fernando Periquet.

£116.40Rhapsody Fan Fryslan - Henk van Lijnschooten
(Rhapsody from Friesland)Friesland (Frysln in the Frisian language) does not only have its own language but it also boasts a very rich own culture with many folk songs sometimes dating from many centuries. This rhapsody is based on a number of those songs and from a stylistic viewpoint it is related to the famous Rhapsody from the Low Countries by the same composer.A solemn introduction is followed by a merry dancing song (De Boalserter merke) and a second, rather melancholic, theme (It Aldershs). Then we hear a short choral with a melody from the sixteenth century. The next theme has the character of a barcarole and is usually attributed to Mozart (Wldsang). The finale is a kind of tarantella and asks for quite some virtuosity from the band (Yn 'e Snitser merke).

£61.00The Road to Mandalay - Guy Chambers
Mandalay, the cultural capital of Burma, was very seriously damaged by bombings of the Allied Forces during the Second World War. 'The Road to Mandalay' has been a kind of oriental symbol, which was also used in literature, e.g. by Rudyard Kipling. Robie Williams made a song with the same name and in July 2000 it reached the top of the international hit parade. Afterwards, he used it as part of the soundtrack of his short movie picture 'Rob by Nature'

£52.70Salsa Souffl - Marcel Peeters
The Salsa is a mixture of jazz, rock and Afro-Cuban music that was born in the seventies in New York. This musical genre, based on Caribbean rhythmical patterns, gives way to a lot of improvisation. The musical jack-of-all-trades Marcel Peeters was tempted to write this 'Salsa Souffl(e)' (salsa merrily 'blown' by wind players) for symphonic band. It will be extremely difficult to keep the audience seated!
