£116.40Suite de Salon - Henk van Lijnschooten
Commissioned by the NIB, the Dutch Wind Music Institute, with the financial support of the 'Fonds voor de scheppende Toonkunst'.CommentaryThis suite brings us back to the 18th century when an important part of the musical life took place in the salons, the favorite quarters of monarchs and important people.There is a ball and we can hear the music in four successive short movements.1. Entree. After an opening fanfare we see the solemn reception of the guests. The composer uses some 17th century musical principles such as the echo dynamics.2. Invitation a la Danse. The guests proceed to the ballroom and are officially introduced. This movement has a 'classical' character.3. Chiaconna. A solemn dance of Spanish origin with a single theme that is repeated with different embellishments and accompaniments.4. Danse Finale. A cheerful dance announces the departure of the guests, but, for sure, the feast will have lasted much longer than this suite.

£90.30Music-Hall Music - Bob Gay
This composition by Bob Gay and Marcel Peeters is a musical nostalgic recollection of 'those good old times...when everything was better than nowadays (?)'. It evokes the atmosphere and the conviviality one could find in those years in the music-halls and variety theatres with their singers, dancers, jugglers, illusionists etc. Today one can hardly hear this type of music any more, except at special occasions or in the circus world. In the meantime, the 'musical' has become the worthy successor to the operetta.

£52.70Salsa Souffl - Marcel Peeters
The Salsa is a mixture of jazz, rock and Afro-Cuban music that was born in the seventies in New York. This musical genre, based on Caribbean rhythmical patterns, gives way to a lot of improvisation. The musical jack-of-all-trades Marcel Peeters was tempted to write this 'Salsa Souffl(e)' (salsa merrily 'blown' by wind players) for symphonic band. It will be extremely difficult to keep the audience seated!

£116.40Aspectes A - J. Alamá-Gil
Jos Alam Gil became musical director of the Banda del Centre Artistic Musical de Btera in 1979 and has won many awards with this fine symphonic band. His two part concert piece for symphonic band 'Aspectes' was very successful at the 1998 international contest 'Certamen' at Valencia. The first part 'Antigua danza de palas y planchas' (old dance with sticks and plates) starts with an introductory adagio followed by a lively allegretto interrupted by another quiet adagio. The second part 'La Romeria' (the pilgrimage ) starts with a dynamic allegro vivo followed by a lyrical andante introduced by bell ringing.The driving allegro vivo starts again when the pilgrims start their journey back home. The orchestration is strikingly refined. This is a very beautiful melodic concert piece for symphonic band.
