£140.80Jazz Suite - Manfred Schneider
The German composer and arranger Manfred Schneider has been playing for many years with the military band Heeresmusikkorps 300 at Cologne. In the meantime he got a reputation as composer of light symphonic music for concert band in Germany and abroad. In the Molenaar Edition catalogue you find already several of his compositions, such as Upside Down, Song of Freedom, the rhythmical study Rock and Go and the most popular Rock Symphonie. Schneider is well at ease in today's musical styles and this time he was inspired by jazz music. The three-part Jazz Suite starts with a nice jazz waltz; the more quiet second part is a fine jazz ballad, whereas the final part is an exuberant jazz samba. A com-plete percussion section and a piano will provide the typical jazz spirit.

£156.30Sinfonietta - Oliver Waespi
A Sinfonietta is a "small symphony", so it is a composition that does not boast the length of a real symphony (although this could be the case) and so allows the composer to take some liberties. In this sinfonietta we have three contradictory themes. In the first part there is a reflecting theme at the start with the woodwinds, later we have a more pathetic theme with the low brass and finally a clear, light theme with the complete band.

£245.50Seven Wonders of the Ancient World - Alex Poelman
In the Ancient World the seven most beautiful monuments were called 'The seven Wonders of the World'. In his Symphony nr.1, The Seven Wonders of the Ancient World' the young Dutch composer Alex Poelman has made a musical portrait of these splendid human realizations which are now, but for one, all destroyed. The symphony is masterly and lavishly orchestrated and portrays both the power of the sovereigns of ancient times and the splendour of the most beautiful buildings and works of art they have had built. Moreover, neither the seducing Eastern charm nor the mysterious exotic atmosphere are failing.Alex Poelman (Arnhem, 1981) studied informatics at the Twente University and plays French horn in several top amateur bands. Under the guidance of David Rowland he wrote his first composition for wind band 'Volcano'. This was followed by 'Theseus', 'Symphony nr. 1 'The Seven Wonders of the Ancient World', 'D-Day' and 'Aquila Chrysaetos'. This symphony was premiered on 28 May 2004 at Enschede. One year later, it was recorded on CD by the new Dutch military band KMKJWF conducted by Norbert Nozy.I. THE TEMPLE OF ARTEMIS.The Greek goddess Artemis, daughter of Zeus and Leto and twin sister of Apollo, was the goddess of the hunt and was especially worshipped in Arcadia. In the town of Ephesus, an Ionic colony in Asia Minor, a splendid temple was built in honour of Artemis which was destroyed in 356 B.C. when Herostratos set fire to it. Some years later it was reconstructed.II. THE GREAT PYRAMID OF CHEOPSCheops, the second pharaoh of the 4th Dynasty of Ancient Egypt (3rd century B.C.) had the big pyramid built at Gizeh on the left bank of the Nile, next to Cairo. The technical perfection and the huge dimensions of this magnificent 137 m high building were never equalled. It is the only one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World that was not destroyed and is kept undamaged up to this day. III. THE STATUE OF ZEUS Zeus, son of Chronos and Rhea, was the leading god of the Greek pantheon and, according to Homer 'the father of all gods and all humans'. He was the god of the celestial light and controlled all physical phenomena. In the Greek town of Olympia, birthplace of the Olympic Games, there was a splendid statue representing the Olympic Zeus. It had been sculptured about 433 B.C. by the great Athenian sculptor Phobias (ca 490 - ca 430 B.C.) and was considered as the nicest statue of the ancient Greek world. IV. THE MAUSOLEUM AT HALICARNASSOS. Halikarnassos (the actual Bodrum in Turkey) was at one time the capital of Asia Minor. When king Mausolos died in 353 B.C., his wife and sister Artemisa ordered to build a huge funeral monument (Mausoleum) for her deceased husband. It gave its name to all large funeral monuments in the world.

£163.80Legend of Amaterasu - Eric Swiggers
This composition tells the ancient Japanese legend of Amaterasu, goddess of the Sun. Amaterasu, the sun goddess had a very glamorous and dazzling ppearance. When her brother Susanoo the storm god comes to visit, they fight. In her fury and grief she hides inside a cave, and doesn't come out, effectively hiding the sun for a long period of time, making it dark on Earth. The other gods beg her to come out, and return light to the world, but Amaterasu continues to sulk inside her cave. Eventually the other gods come up with a ruse to lure her out. They place a large mirror at the cave entrance, and Uzume the goddess of pleasure begins to dance. Amaterasu is curious and ventures out. Then she looks in the mirror and sees how beautiful she is, and she becomes happy. Her brother Susanoo is expelled, and the sun can shine every day once more.

£117.30Artis Calambria - Carlos Marques
Artis Calambria was commissioned and premiered in August 2011 by the Band of Vale de Cambra (Portugal), conducted by Gil Magalh�es, on the occasion of its centennial. The work took as its starting point the poem of the poet Ferreira de Castro, a native of Vale de Cambra, about the city. The whole structure of the work was designed from the poem. Vale de Cambra is also known for its metal industry. The choice of some of the percussion instruments used in the work also had this aspect into account. 'On moonlight nights, when the great gold bubble appears on the hill of the mountains, the valley is filled with magic, a charm that hangs from the distant heights the waters of the river whispering Caima. The morning is a miracle, every day there is a miracle of light upon the earth when the sun rises in Vale de Cambra'.
