£253.70Rainforest Concerto - Saskia Apon
Rainforest Concerto has been commissioned by the Brass Band Rijnmond. This double concerto for two trombones and wind band consists of three parts with the cadenza in the slow niddle movement. Saskia Apon was inspired by the threat of the destruction of the rainforest. In the first part, Creation, we hear an accelerated reproduction of the birth of this impressive natural phenomenon. We hear the first birds, we see the growth of the mangrove trees and we witness the struggle for light and the force necessary to keep the realized equilibrium in a perpetual balance.The second part, Ode, is a tribute to the wonder and splendour of the rainforest. By means of subtle and extremely delicate sonorities we hear how nature adds an inestimable value to the rainforest. However it is also extremely fragile and this engenders a certain melancholy due to the awareness of man's impotence to respect this beautiful nature.In the last part, Contra Demolition, we hear the threatening decline, but also the revolt against this possible ruin. It is a heartfelt cry to leave nuture in peace and to work hard for the preservation of the beauty and the value of the rainforest.

£135.70Romanesco - Luís Cardoso
Romanesco is a Symphonic Poem of an epic narrative depicting the medieval fights between the Christians and Moors. It begins with the plain-chant of the monks, inside the walls of the monastery who are then interrupted by the arrival of the Moors entering the walls disguised as jongleurs, and thereby provoking a battle. The central section is a Adagio Elegiaco, where our hero travels all over the village and laments all the destruction. Relying strongly on the main themes, the last section develops into the glorious final battle. This work is predominantly based around the environment modal and the polyrhythmic characteristics of medieval music. Conducted by the composer with his own band in the Ateneu Vilafranquense International Wind Band Contest, Romanesco achieved the biggest applause and the highest recognition of the public and the international jury.

£116.40Play it Cool - Afonso Alves
Light piece in three parts, each one picking up distinct parts of north-american music appreciated by Afonso Alves. The swing, the 60's with Elvis Presley and the disco hype are all remembered in this piece of challenging execution and rythmical richness, where the initial solos give place to a powerful soli in the last movement.

£140.80Concertino for Tuba - Carlos Marques
At last here we have an interesting and quite playable solo concert for the tuba, a too often undervalued wind instrument. This concerto was written for and dedicated to the Portuguese tuba player Adlio Carneiro. Composer Carlos Marques who wrote already some successful pieces for Molenaar Edition such as 'Cassiopeia' and 'Transit of Venus' warrants an accessible and excellent wind band orchestration.

£99.00The Big Splash - Dean Jones
Using three varying images from pursuits on the water, 'The Big Splash' has moments of excitement, soft melodies and crunching harmonies. Each section is given an opportunity to shine in this 3-part original work. Movement I entitled 'Launching' sets the scene of a speedboat accelerating into the water. 'Drifting' (mov. II) portrays images of the sunset over the water's edge and in the minor key there is a sense of thoughtfulness as well as tranquillity. The last movement has a grander feel to it. Titled 'Cruising' there are moments you can imagine a larger carrier chip setting sail as well as a sense of anticipation and excitement from those climbing aboard. Bon voyage!Also available for strings!

£112.90Ave Musica - Feike van Tuinen
Ave Musica is a musical impression about the fusion of two different bands. The charactaristics from the past; the chorals (Grosser Gott, wir loben dich) and the marching are the ingredients for the first part. The middle part is based on the medieval song Farewell, Dear Love van Robert Jones. The last part is merry and cheerfull and radiates positivism as a salute, an ave, to the new band.

£38.20Hoch und Deutschmeister Marsch - D. Ertl
Dominik Ertl (1857-1911) was subsequently musician, drum major and assistant conductor with the Band of the Austrian Infantry Regiment Number 4, better known as the 'Hoch-und Deutschmeister Regiment'. He was very popular in the fashionable Vienna high society of the last decades of the nineteenth century. He left the army to tour all over Europe with his own orchestra. He composed some ten marches but only the 'Hoch- und Deutschmeister' march became internationally famous. It is of course dedicated to the illustrious regiment and, though considered as the most musical of all Austrian military marches, it never became the official regimental march.
