£123.75Minimalist Dances
This unique work for advanced ensembles explores three fundamental minimalist approaches, but through the lens of very atypical styles to the minimalist genre. Influenced by the masterworks of Glass, Riley, and Adams, the composer uses a limited melodic/rhythmic palette to maximum effect, even including a rock-inspired shout section leading to a furious conclusion.

This short concert piece with a minimalist character, describes human footsteps that can be heard from an adjacent room and seem to increase in number. The anonymous acoustic observation conveys images of strange people in an increasingly hectic scene. The short middle section reveals a sudden silence and gives rise to a feeling of loneliness.

£74.95Coloured Glass (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Wiffin, Rob
In this cheerful, minimalist piece, the composer seeks to capture the effects of light shining, refracting, and reflecting through glass of various colours and densities. While adopting familiar minimalist features - repetition, consonant harmony, and a steady pulse - the composer is mindful of the inherent risk in the style of allowing ideas to linger for too long. To avoid this, the patterns and colours shift subtly, creating a sense of gentle transition alongside an impression of dance and energy. Most of the woodwind instruments take on fluid semiquaver movement at some point, though the music itself is not technically demanding.Duration: 3.45
