Interruption Overture - Steven Bryant
Interruption Overture is the musical inverse of Bryant's Chester Leaps In. In the latter, a familiar theme interrupts angular, dissonant music, whereas Interruption Overture consists of a straightforward theme in Bb major repeatedly interrupted by dissonant chords and bursts of simple aleatory ideas. These techniques are intended to serve as educational tools in addition to their musical function, exposing younger musicians to a broader-than-usual musical palette.

£118.99Elisabeth - Sylvester Levay
The world premiere of the musical Elisabeth took place in Vienna on September 3, 1992. From the great acclaim with which the musical was received, it became clear that the life of the Empress of Austria still appeals to the imagination. Although Elisabeth's life (1837-1898) as an Empress has a fairy-tale-like beginning, it takes a gloomy turn. In this production, Luigi Lucheni, the man who finally takes her life, tells her story. Death plays a major role throughout Elisabeth's life. In the musical, an equally mysterious and attractive man portrays the phenomenon of death, seducing her to the realm of death time after time. Elisabeth's life resembles a fairy tale when shemarries the Emperor Franz Joseph at the age of sixteen. Her mother-in-law, Archduchess Sophie, does not make it easy on Elisabeth. But it is life itself that puts the Empress to the test. First, her youngest daughter dies. Then, not long after her son Rudolf is born, her happiness is clouded when her mother-in-law decides she must take pity on him. After her husband's unfaithfulness and Sophie's death, Elisabeth is so disillusioned that she chooses a travelling existence without realizing her husband and her son, Rudolf, miss her. Rudolf's loneliness is one of the reasons he commits suicide. The accumulation of disappointments in Elisabeth's life almost drives her into the arms of Death. In the end, however, it is Lucheni who kills her.

£99.95Stories and Dreams (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Wiffin, Rob
Energetic, wide-ranging and stimulating in its musical ideas, Stories and Dreams is a work of considerable musical interest to both listener and performer. Comprising three movements: The March of the Smiling Soldier (3.30), Stories I could tell (4.15) and Hope (3.30), this suite is only moderate in technical difficulty but is full of musical interest. The first movement is a slightly tongue-in-cheek march, the second is lyrical and poignant taking its atmosphere from the enigma implicit in its title, and the finale vivacious and life-affirming.Duration: 11.15

£164.99Spirit of Endeavour (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Sparke, Philip
Spirit of Endeavour is a virtuosic piece of music with a positive musical message.
