£104.99Polonaise (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Dvorak, Antonin - Van der Beek, Wil
The year 2004 marked the 100th anniversary of the death of Antonin Dvorak. In 1879 Dvorak wrote this Polonaise as a commission for the committee organising the festivities for their famous national dance festival. Many famous Czech composers wrote dances specially for this event. This Polonaise in three movements, with its fine melody lines, deserves to be more than just an occasional work, however. Wil van der Beek's concert band arrangement does justice to the original piece.Duration: 5:45

£164.95Sinfonietta No.2 (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Sparke, Philip
Commissioned by the National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain and first performed by them on 6th August 1992.1. Overture: VivaceA bustling opening movement in sonata form. After an introduction in which a syncopated theme is tossed around the band, the first subject proper gives way to a more legato second theme. A scherzando bridge passage leads to the recapitulation.2. Serenade: Lento ExpressivoA short introduction leads to a sonorous theme from the middle of the band. A slightly more rhythmic central 5/8 section leads to a short cadenza-like duet for two alto saxes which reintroduces the opening of the movement.3. Finale: Molto VivaceA fast and furious finale which fails to settle long enough for a real theme to develop as motivic ideas are thrown from player to player. Eventually a violently syncopated tune emerges from the middle of the band but this is interrupted by a reflective interlude. In time the faster music returns and the movement hurtles to a close.Duration: 16.10Recorded on QPRM124D MIGHTY VOICE, Great British Music for Wind Band Vol.3
