£90.30Black Heat - Henk Alkema
When the heat has become very intensive and invisible, it seems to turn black. This composition is an attempt to turn the apparent contrast heat/blackness into music because Alkema is fond of fire and flames. While walking in the forest he evaluates how combustible the trees are and imagines the wooden houses going up in flames. The wind players can very well suggest fire and flames. By means of this composition Alkema sets fire to the powder and hopes the fire will set everything in a blaze. Finally, he only wanted to write a fine concert piece.

£50.80Dance of the One-legged Sailor - Dick van Heuvel
The work describes a short dance by a one-legged sailor. In the 6/8 beat the sailor always makes the wrong steps and gets furious about it. So he stamps his wooden leg (sounded by beats on two large woodblocks) in anger on the floor. Yet he tries again and each time the theme changes a little bit. The two passages when the musicians blow air through their instruments (measures 44-45 and 63-64) represent the sailor's sighing. The 'Dance of the one-legged sailor' also offers several possibilities to bring this sailor on the stage during the performance of the composition.

£53.30Aus dem Studentenleben - Bedrich Smetana
For Bedrich Smetana, the polka was the source of typical Czech music par excellence. We do not only find it in his operas, symphonic works and chamber music, but he also wrote single or separate polkas. Smetana's first polkas were written when he was still a student and they were composed for dancing. This is also the case for this polka 'Aus dem Studentenleben' (Pictures of a student's life). It was originally written for piano. It is cheerful music with a lot of variety and, above all, a typical Czech character.
