£106.99The Way to Heaven - Philip Sparke
The Way to Heaven was commissioned by the Royal Air Force Music Services. 2015 was the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Britain, which took place between July and October 1940, when the courageous fighter pilots of the Royal Air Force thwarted Hitler's ambitions to launch an invasion on the UK.The Way to Heaven opens with fluttering woodwind figures and brass fanfares, which build to a climax before a change of key introduces a short quotation for the Polish National Anthem - Mazurek Dbrowskiego. This fades and you can hear the signal to scramble and the throaty sounds of the squadron's Merlin engines bursting into life before theyline up to take off. This leads to the main thematic material of the work, which depicts the heaven-bound flight of 303 Squadron as it climbs to intercept the incoming Messerschmitt 109s. A brief allusion to the Polish national anthem brings the piece to a triumphant close.

£56.99Lanterns In The Sky - Rob Romeyn
"Lanterns In The Sky" is a concert/festival work for young band inspired by a hot air balloon ride. The work begins with an explosion of energy and sound that is sure to command attention.

A beautifully expressive middle section invokes imagery of the incredible views and gentle breezes. The opening theme then returns bringing the piece and our journey to a forceful conclusion. Contrasting styles and changing textures provide many teaching opportunities, making this suitable for festival use. Don't miss this outstanding addition to the young band repertoire!

Flight - Gregory B. Rudgers
This is a lovely, introspective piece dedicated to the loss of a dear person. Unlike many pieces that have come out of sorrow, this piece is uplifting. At first, you will hear lush, lyrical lines that recall the memories of the one lost, but then the piece soars with a lilting 3/4 time feel that brings this heartfelt selection to a dramatic conclusion.

Finally, The Flying Machine musically soars, reflecting Leonardo's fascination with flight.
