Wellingtons Sieg - Ludwig van Beethoven
After the 'Battle of Vitoria', Beethoven's friend Johann Nepomuk Maelzel talked him into writing a composition for his panharmonicon (a kind of 'mechanical orchestra') to commemorating this battle. The piece, 'Wellingtons Sieg' ('Wellington's Victory') was dedicated to the Prince Regent, later King George IV and first performed in Vienna on 8 December 1813 at a concert to benefit Austrian and Bavarian soldiers wounded at the 'Battle of Hanau', with Beethoven conducting. It was an immediate crowd-pleaser and met with much enthusiasm from early concertgoers and the piece proved to be a substantial money-maker for Beethoven. 'Wellingtons Sieg' is something of a musical novelty. Besides the orchestra, on stage there are two 'sides', British and French, both playing the same instruments: Trumpets, Snare Drums, 'Canon' and Ratchet. The work has two parts: the 'Battle' ('Schlacht') and the 'Victory Symphony' (Sieges Sinfonie). The first part is programme music describing two approaching opposing armies and contains extended passages depicting scenes of battle. It uses 'Rule Britannia' for the British side and 'Marlbrough s'en va-t-en guerre' for the French side. The 'Victory Symphony' exhibits some typical Beethoven composing techniques. It can be considered as a sonata form that, stripped of the development section, comes equipped with an extended coda. Dutch arranger Andreas van Zoelen transcribed 'Wellingtons Sieg' for Symphonic Band.

Dancing Trolls [Norwegian Dance] - Øystein Olsen Vadsten
"Dancing Trolls" is a sequel to "The Battle of the Hats", which was published in 2015. Like "The Battle of the Hats", "Dancing Trolls" is a piece of music based on Norwegian traditional dances. This time around,its the reinlender dance which takescentre stage.The music is composed by ystein Olsen Vadsten who keeps the strong melodic and tempo, which is dear to this kind of dance. Admittedly given a make-over with a more rhythmic accompaniment and more excitingharmonization.This makes it a fun piece, both to Listen to and play. The reinlender dance derives from the Rhineland in Germany,and is also known as the German Polka.To the conductor:Because this is a dance form whichisdependent on the right "swing", it is of great importance to keep as close to the metronome mark as possible. A steady groove, primarily specified by the drum set, is also essential for a good result. Remember to keep a good balance between themelody carrying instruments and the accompaniment. Good luck and have fun with this "crazy" little tune.

£137.70Run Away - Hans Offerdal
This piece is about running away. First there is restlessness, then the escape begins. But what are we running away from? That is for you to find out!Playing time: appx. 4:30 To the conductor:There are challenges in the use of dynamics and rhythm. It is important that energy and pace is upheld all the way up until the next to last page. Dissonances are present several places, but the voice leading is diatonic within the given scale.The whole piece is based on one single scale: F melodic minor with lowered second degree. It is notated as a concert F major scale with two accidentals. Feel free to use it during warm-ups!

£68.80Music Box - Scott Rogers
Music Box was inspired by the memory of a small music box my grandmother had at her house. I would always find it and wind it up to hear it play every time I was visiting. This piece combines triadic and diatonic melody, time, and a melancholy that balances between major and minor.Scott Rogers
