£140.80An Indoor Overture - Willem Strietman
In 1964 I met the American composer, conductor, pianist and educationist Aaron Copland (1900-1990) who was in The Netherlands during an European concert tour. I keep most pleasant memories of his performances and of our conversations. In memory of that great man I made in 1995 a new version of a small composition that I had written in 1970 for the Silver Jubilee of the Metropole Orchestra (of the Dutch Radio Institution) and that was called 'An Indoor Overture'. This short work is a kind of answer to Copland's 'An Outdoor Overture' (1938) in which also light and serious music are harmoniously mixed.Willem Strietman

£90.30Glenn Mucks About with the Clarinet - Jef Penders
To Jef Penders the influence of Glenn Miller on light music in the second half of the twentieth century is still alive. After Glenn meets Wolfgang, Glenn beats the Battle of Jericho and Glenn plays after the Ball here we have Glenn mucks about with the Clarinet. We guess both the musicians and the audience will be fond of that kind of mucking. Enjoy the 'Penders touch'.

£61.00Toccatino and Fugetta - Uri Hodorov
The American conductor and composer Uri Hodorov, actually working in Israel, has been inspired by the great Johann Sebastian Bach to write this original, light and rather easy 'toccata and fugue' for symphonic band. The title clearly indicates that, despite the references to the master's model, this composition is contemporary and rather short, in order to be within reach of the average wind band. A nice tribute to old father Back avoiding the ambush of the pastiche.

£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.
