£186.20Voyages - Coby Lankester
In the suite Voyages (Travels) Mrs. Lankester has set to music six impressions collected during several stays in France. Originally the six pieces were part of different ballet music scores. In this excellent arrangement by Marcel Peeters they have been gathered into one suite in which the travel impressions serve as a guideline. The first part suggests a Village Fair, whereas the second part expresses explicitly the composer's admiration for Paris in The Invitation. The third part, Nostalgia (Le Lac) is a rather nostalgic reverie about a French lake. The fourth part Reminiscences of Daumier, has to be considered as a tribute to the 19th century painter Honor Daumier of Marseille, famous for his political caricatures. The fifth part, Homage to Mompou, honours the memory of the Spanish composer and pianist Federico Mompou, creator of the primavista style. The suite closes with a cheerful Final Dance (Le Retour), depicting the journey back home.

£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

£116.40Telemark Fantasy - Kees Vlak
While the mountains are still covered with a thick snow cloth and many passroads are still closed, the fruitblossoms next to the fjords are in full bloom and the days are growing longer and warmer. This is Springtime in Norway. The love of the Telemark people of their native country is sounding in the 'Norges Hymn'. The joy of Spring is expressed by means of a 'Springdans', a kind of Norwegian country dance. The variety of the changing Norwegian landscapes is matched by that of the changing tone colours of this dance. In memory of the famous playwright Henrik Ibsen (born in Skien, the capital of Telemark), the composer included in this fantasy a song similar to the theatre music Edvard Grieg wrote for Ibsen's play 'Peer Gynt'. This 'Hagars-Sang' is full of melancholy and romanticism. The Final consists of a 'Halling Dance'. This cheerful dance music was originally played on the fiddle, just like the American square dance. The work closes with a thrilling panoramic view on the Hardangervidda highland from the Gausta mountain, the highest peak in Telemark.

£134.99Pastorale de Provence - Franco Cesarini
Cesarini composed this work as a tribute to the memory of Darius Milhaud, born a century earlier in Aix-en-Provence, France. The premiere, conducted by the composer, was presented by the Civic Philharmonic of Balerna in December, 1992. The titles of the four-part suite include: La Villageoise (The Village Maiden), Le petit berger (The Little Shepherd), La Princesse (The Princess) and Le Lutin (The Imp). The numerous musical reference themes begin with five folksongs from the Provence region and continue with melodies written by French composers of the seventeenth century. Additional interest is created by the use of old dance forms (Ronde, Musette, Pavane and Farandole) toillustrate each historical character.

£89.99Ave Maria - André Waignein
Ave Maria, an excerpt from the Missa Solemnis, was written by Andr Waignein at the request of the Aosta Valley Regional Council, in Italy. Missa Solemnis contains all the musical parts that are used to accompany liturgical rites. However, the composer was keen to include an Ave Maria in memory of his mother, who was a very religious person and especially revered the Virgin Mary.This Ave Maria reveals a shimmering melody with very discreet orchestral support that allows the vocal or instrumental soloist to express their emotions through exceedingly generous musical phrases. Waignein has made this work for solo soprano or tenor and band, butit's also a very beautiful piece for several solo instruments such as flute, oboe, Bb clarinet, alto saxophone or trumpet.The composer naturally dedicated this Ave Maria to his mother.This moving piece will undoubtedly captivate your audience.
