Valse Sacre - Frédéric Devreese
For Frdric Devreese, a dance, and especially the waltz, is increasingly linked to the person as a dancer, so that a dance becomes an experience, an adventure; and as a result, they in fact waltz to human emotions. Those who follow Devreese's music a little know that, for him, the different facets are not separate from each other. The film scores and the concert pieces strengthen and influence one another. His most famous film score themes, such as the Valse Sacre", belong to the collective memory of Flemish music. This waltz was composed for the Hugo Claus film "The Sacrament". The assignment was to compose a whirling waltz for a dance scene set during an emotional familycelebration."

£89.99Serenade Romantic - Joseph Turrin
This exceptionally unique work by Joseph Turrin is composed in memory of Howard Hanson, one of the 20th century's greatest proponents of American music. While decidedly modern in sound, the mood of this piece adheres to Hanson's own belief in the value of "warm blooded music" rather than the pursuit of coldly abstract, purely cerebral music. Hanson's influence on 20th century music and the post-Romantic style is clearly evident in SERENADE ROMANTIC.If you've ever wished for something genuinely different for your higher level group to explore you owe it to yourself to check out this remarkable piece.

£76.99Ayers Rock - Henk Hogestein
The famous monolith Ayers Rock (also called Uluru) is the only true attraction in the Northern Territory of Australia. This colossal red rock lies in the middle of a desert plain. At dusk, a beautiful spectacle develops as the setting sun envelops the rock in rose-red hues. There are tourists who climb the rock, while this is a taboo according to the indigenous religion of the Aboriginals. Besides, the climb is very strenuous. A walk around the rock is also an unforgettable experience.During a journey through Australia, Henk Hogestein was inspired by this rock; he composed this robust rock number to cherish the memory of it.

£109.99Dances of Innocence - Jan Van der Roost
Jan Van der Roost composed Dances of Innocence to commemorate a girl who passed away at the tender age of 14. In contrast to the sombre, joyless tone such a memory usually invokes, it is a rather cheerful work that reflects the innocence and light heartedness of a child. It does open in a serious mood, but quickly becomes more energetic and turns into a dance. Dances of Innocence is an ode to all the beauty, sincerity and cheerfulness that a child radiates.

£102.99Colors of Time - Thierry Deleruyelle
Gazing into life is like gazing at the colours of passing time. Sometimes cool and mysterious, sometimes opalescent, warm or luminous, the colours of time, like life itself, are ever-changing. When colour materialises, it becomes music. With delicate and powerful moods, brilliant and intimate textures, and joyful and nostalgic sounds, music seeps into our memory like stories drawn from many individual real-life experiences.
