Chant and Savage Band - Brian Balmages
Contemporary harmonies and interesting colors are at the center of this innovative work. While well within the ability of young musicians, this piece has an uncharacteristically mature sound that will captivate your audience. After a mesmorizing lyrical opening, percussion begins the savage dance that grows more and more powerful as the piece progresses. Optional percussionists throughout the audience can enhance the entire experience as the dancers continue till utter exhaustion and collapse to the ground. Very compelling! (4:10)

In Quiet Times - James Swearingen
This beautiful ballad offers plenty of opportunities for focusing on musicality with little concern for technical demands. The humble melody in the clarinets and horn is answered first by flutes then trumpets, before the glorious key change. As beautifully as it began, the piece fades back to a quiet time. Sure to work with virtually any instrumentation, and a truly musical experience! (2:00)

£90.30Moving Spirits - Fred Vogels
At the commemoration ceremonies of the '60th anniversary of the Liberation' several stories about the concentration camps were brought up once more. Most poignant was the improvised act by an ex prisoner of the Auschwitz camp, scantily dressed in the frosty weather, calling for attention for the terrible injustice done to those people. These stories reminded the composer of the stories told by members of his family that had been locked up in those camps. 'Moving Spirits' is dedicated to those who have been imprisoned and those who have died in these concentration camps. The title refers to the fact that this terrible experience marked those people for life. The spiritual quiet and peace will perhaps never come back because one is still wondering 'why?'

£116.40St. Louis Fantasie - Peter Kleine Schaars
In this fantasy, the band develops itself starting from a flute cadenza and an oboe solo and then develops through a slow blues in the woodwinds, a big band passage and a tango into a sparkling swing band. The score contains a solo passage for a Dixieland band noted in all parts. Some obbligato improvisations help the splendid orchestration to make a thrilling experience of this piece.

£140.80Back to Normandy - Fred Vogels
Back to Normandy is a composition for concert band on the occasion of D-Day. On D-Day (June 6, 1944) the liberation of Western Europe started at the beach of Normandy. A long campaign through Europe followed before the liberation was complete. Back to Normandy describes the first hours of the landing with the shelling of the German positions as a (musical) peak. As an introduction you will see and hear de preperations for the biggest campaign ever. Very special and unique is the fact that the music of Back to Normandy can be performed synchronously with a movie with original footage, specially made for this composition. This will without a doubt be an extra experience for the audience. So far performances like this were exclusively for professional orchestras (like George Fenton, Earth). This piece is specially suitable for concert bands that want to offer their audience something special and also want to honour the liberators. The movie to practise for the concert is on Youtube (meassures and metronome are visible/audiblematen). On the Back to Normandy forum you can get more information or have an exchange of views about this project or D-Day in general. You can download the complete movie here (1, 7 GB). Interaction with the composer is certainly appreciated.
