£169.99The Mystery of Light - Otto M. Schwarz
Light, sun, moon, stars: there has always been a connection to faith, the occult and mysticism. Different constellations were supposed to predict the future, and some phenomena have been interpreted as punishment by different Gods. From sunrises and solar eclipses, through rainbows, the scattering of light, sunset in the daytime, moonrises, the northern lights, the new moon, crescent moons and stellar constellations, to shooting stars... our observations encompass all this and much more. The Mystery of Light is the first of a series of pieces with the same theme. 'NIGHTLIGHTS' deals with lights of the night: created partly by nature and partly by man himself and consists ofthree movements: Opener and Star Shower, Lunar Eclipse and Aurora and Fireworks.

£121.00Prelude to Parsifal - Richard Wagner
Parsifal, written in 1882, was the final opera by composer Richard Wagner (1813-1883). The prelude is a miniature masterpiece consisting of only 116 measures. The form of the prelude is similar to that of the classical three-movement overture and consists of four musical motives: the mystical realm of the Holy Grail; the Grail itself in the Dresden Amen; Faith, represented by the brass chorale; and the Agony of Amfortas. This transcription by John R. Bourgeois faithfully adheres to Wagners intent both in key relationships and orchestration.

Credo - Fisher Tull
As implied by the title, Credo is in the nature of a profession of faith. Organized in a tripartite form, the opening section presents a four-note motif contrasted with a chorale-like melody in the woodwinds. The slower middlesection is more contrite and reflective, the polyphonic texture in the woodwinds being imitated by a similar setting in the brasses. The final section employs development of the material from the first section in a fugal settingleading to a climactic affirmation followed by a resolute ending. (5:30)

£121.50The Path Ascending - Rob Smith
Weaving together currents of inspiration and darkness, this work dramatically portrays a woman whose life was cut short by cancer. A chorale-like theme anchors the music in strength and faith, while a tune inspired by mariachi bands recalls her youth in a Texas border town.

Imani - Sean O'Loughlin
Imani, which means faith, is the seventh day of Kwanzaa, the African and African-American celebration of family and culture. This challenging and colorful piece rises from its quiet chant-like opening (involving part of the band singing the "Imani" tune) to a sonorous major climax at measure 51. The faster section that follows makes brilliant use of an enlarged percussion section that includes a number of ethnic instruments (Log drums, Congas, Claves, et. al.) This is a terrific multicultural selection that will have many uses for holiday programs and contest performances. Duration: 6'

£134.99Nuclear Power - Otto M. Schwarz
It can be neither seen nor heard, but it is forever present and can make us ill or even kill us: the reality of atomic radiation. The most devastating recent nuclear catastrophes have doubtless been those in Chernobyl (1986) and Fukushima (2011). The composer expresses through a musical message that putting faith in the safety of nuclear energy may be mankind's most fatal error.

£152.99Time Remembered - Philip Sparke
The initial idea was for a millennium piece, which it is, but rather than add to the many celebratory pieces that have understandably been written to salute the 3rd millennium, Philip Sparke thought it would perhaps be appropriate to think about the aspects of life that are constantly with us (such as faith and philosophy) rather than the exciting changes that the year 2000 has undeniably wrought. This calm meditative work will bring a moment of serenity and reflection to any concert.
