£120.40Xenon - Filippo Ledda
Elemento chimico della Tavola Periodica degli Elementi, lo Xenon fa parte del gruppo dei Gas Nobili. incolore, inodore e decisamente pi pesante dell'aria. In un tubo riempito di gas, emette una luce molto intensa quando eccitato con una scarica elettrica, per cui viene utilizzato per la realizzazione di lampade e dispositivi luminosi. Il brano, diviso in sette sezioni che si susseguono senza soluzione di continuit, descrive un viaggio immaginario che percorre diametralmente l'interno di un atomo di xenon. La prima sezione (On the Edge of Nowhere), partendo dal presupposto che l'atomo una struttura al 99,9% vuota, descrive una realt non solo impercepibile dall'occhio umano ma anche non facilmente razionalizzabile, cos la sottile linea che separa il "nulla" dalla materia visibile rappresentata da un assolo di sax contralto. La seconda e la sesta sezione (Electrons) descrivono la nuvola di elettroni che turbina vorticosamente attorno al nucleo dell'atomo. I temi musicali qui si rincorrono e si scontrano; la ritmica delle percussioni, perlopi metalliche, simula questo moto perpetuo. La terza e la quinta sezione (Luminescence) descrivono la zona di quiete tra gli elettroni e il nucleo. Tutto avvolto da una luce bianca, simile a quella del sole; un momento di stasi, ma solo apparente: la calma durer poco. La sezione centrale (Core) il nucleo del brano. La parte pi interna dell'atomo anche la pi densa: percussioni martellanti, riff solidi, armonie sature, vogliono rappresentare la sua natura stabile e dinamica al tempo stesso. Infine, l'ultima sezione (On the Edge of Everything) rappresenta la conclusione del viaggio: l'uscita al di fuori dall'atomo di xenon con la consapevolezza, stavolta, che la materia visibile soltanto la miliardesima parte della realt, tutto il resto energia. L'assolo di sax, che riappare nelle ultime battute del brano, assume ora un diverso significato: cos' "nulla" e cos' "tutto"? La fine di questo viaggio immaginario, veramente una fine? Xenon la terza composizione della serie che l'autore sta dedicando ai Gas Nobili.

£159.99Resurrection - Kevin Houben
"Man wird mit Keulen zu Boden geschlagen und dann auf Engelsfittichen zu den hchsten Hhen gehoben." (Mahler over zijn 2de symfonie "Wederopstanding", Juli 1894)*"You are clubbed to the ground and then lifted to the highest heights on angels' wings"Commissioned by and dedicated to Concertband Maasmechelen (BE), conducted by Mark Prils.Kevin Houben was inspired for this work by Gustav Mahler's 2nd symphony, better known as the Resurrection symphony.The work can be regarded as a Ma(h)lerei of various compositional and spherical elements that refer to the Austrian composer but that appear in this composition in an embedded, contemporary way.As Mahler often drew his inspiration from nature, the opening of this piece brings nature right to the audience. The work starts with a solo for alto flute accompanied by a pedal note in four octaves with harmonic responses echoing the solo.From the start, Kevin Houben provides Mahler's material with a contemporary touch. He replaces the nature sounds that Mahler uses (perfect fourth) with tritone intervals. The off stage trumpet signals have been preserved but are provided with a new accompaniment. Gradually, throughout the work, the orchestra undergoes its own independent development. Mahler's musical signature remains recognizable, but Kevin Houben allows it - e.g. through the use of various timbres - to flourish in a more modern musical idiom, which characterizes numerous contemporary compositions for wind band (cfr. Where Angels Fly).The work comes to a grandiose end with a passage of the famous chorale from Mahler's 2nd symphony. The rich orchestration of this chorale gives the listener the illusion of the presence of a choir and organ without actually using them.In Resurrection, each instrument group comes into its own: in solo fragments, in transparent thematic passages or in splendid tuttis. Therefore, the work forms an interesting challenge for a wind band on several levels, both technically and melodically - the latter due to the long suspenseful melodic phrases that the musical structure requires.The piece is accessible to a wide audience and can be regarded as an enrichment for any concert programme. Resurrection takes the audience through various atmospheres and experiences: from stunning to chilling, from calming to delighting...Die Musik muss immer ein Sehnen enthalten, ein Sehnen ber die Dinge dieser Welt hinaus." (Gustav Mahler, 1860-1911)"Music must always involve a longing, a yearning beyond the things of this world."

£98.20Miniature Suite - Donald Furlano
Questo brano stato scritto in occasione del 150mo anniversario di fondazione del Corpo Musicale di Settimo Torinese. Se vogliamo fare un paragone con l'arte pittorica, si tratta di un trittico, cio l'insieme di tre distinti quadri, ciascuno dei quali rappresenta un aspetto significativo della citt di Settimo Torinese. Il primo quadro, che si rif ad alcune formule stilistiche della "marcia", rappresenta la Banda, che da 150 anni simbolo ed espressione "sonora" della comunit. Il secondo quadro, di carattere pi intimistico, rapprenta la Chiesa e si ispira allo stile del "corale", pur non avendone la canonica forma. Il terzo ed ultimo quadro rappresenta invece la Torre e quindi, non solo le istituzioni che governano la citt, ma anche i cittadini che vivono all'ombra di essa: da qui il tema popolare e lo stile di "danza" che lo caratterizza.
