Theme from Symphony no. 4 - Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy
Mendelssohn for band! Mendelssohn is known for the beauty of his melodic themes, and this one from the "Italian" Symphony certainly fits that category. THEME from SYMPHONY #4 gives impressions of the people and landscapes of this beautiful country. A bucolic sense pervades the score and translates into a restful and uplifting musical experience.Douglas Court has done a marvelous job in bringing the orchestral textures to the young band stage. His considerable experience with directing young bands and his many fine compositions expressly for musicians at this level give him the ability to make the music as playable as it is authentic. Don't miss it!

£137.99Fra Diavolo
The French composer Daniel Franois Esprit Auber (1782-1871) witnessed many important developments in the history of music ? from Luigi Cherubini to Richard Wagner. His extensive output consisted mainly of operas, but unfortunately today only two of these are still well known, including the comic opera Fra Diavolo. The story concerns Fra Diavolo, a famous Italian bandit and soldier from the late 18th and early 19th centuries, and is one of crime, lust and treachery. The overture has a classical structure and is filled with striking themes and motifs and has a particularly unusual introduction (for the time) with the snare drum taking the leading role!

Pilgrims' Swing - Graham Lloyd
The Andante from the first movement of Mendelssohn's Italian Symphony (often nicknamed Pilgrims' March) contains the most beautifully haunting melody supported by the simplest of bass lines and counterpoint figures. As a young musician, Graham Lloyd was so fascinated by this music he bought the orchestral score to study the notes, which at the time made little sense to him. However, he did notice that the bass line was similar to a "walking bass" line in a standard swing tune.In this composition Graham Lloyd uses Mendelssohn's original bass line, melodic line and counterpoint figures but gives them a swing feel. Who knows, maybe if Mendelssohn had been born a hundred yearslater, he could have become one of our big band leaders!
