£116.40Rapsodie sur des Themes Normands - Serge Lancen
The Paris born composer and pianist Serge Lancen (1922-2005) studied the piano with Marguerite Long and composition with Tony Aubin at the conservatory of his native town and was awarded a Prix de Rome. Lancen composed symphonic music, choral works, ballet music and several concertos.In 1960 he met his ancient study friend Dsir Dondeyne, conductor of the Paris Metropolitan Police Band, who incited him to write for symphonic band. Lancen wrote an impressive series of wind band works that earned him an international reputation. Among his most successful compositions are Manhattan Symphony (1962) an Cape Kennedy (1970), but we should not forget that Lancen also wrote several fine works for symphonic bands of average level. So he did in 1976 by writing two rhapsodies based respectively on Breton and Normandy themes. The Rhapsody on Themes from Normandy was recorded in 1977 on a long playing record by the French National Police Band conducted by Pierre Bigot alongside with Le Mont-Saint-Michel, Hymne la Musique and Rapsodie sur des Thmes Breton. Rhapsody on Themes from Normandy is a piece that is characterized by an original orchestration and fluent melodic lines, two main characters of Lancen's music.

£214.80Figures Sonores - Henk Badings
Figures Sonores was composed in 1984 at the request of the World Music Contest Kerkrade. It was used as test piece in the 'concert division' at the 1985 contest. The board of the WMC asked Badings to write a new type of test piece, stressing the musical contents and its delivery rather than technical difficulties. Moreover the composition was not to exceed a duration of ten minutes. The latter really disturbed the composer as he felt he could not really develop completely his musical ideas. The three parts are played without any interruption. The lyrical, pathetical first part is followed by a solemn middle part in which the percussion has a preponderant role, and a virtuoso and whimsical finale concludes the work. According to the commission the musical expression dominates in all solo passages, that occur in all instrumental groups.

£116.40Zwiefache Symphonique - Serge Lancen
This composition is inspired by Austrian-Bavarian dances, called 'Zwiefach', heard by the composer on the radio while staying at Dsseldorf, Germany in 1953. Under the spell of this folk music with its surprising changes of meters 3/4 and 2/4, he wished to compose some pieces based on these meters, without however always keeping the tempi. He composed seven Zwiefache, initially for piano and later on made an orchestration for wind band. These pieces have been dedicated to his mother, Guito.
