£159.60Drieluik - Oscar van Hemel
Drieluik is one of the pearls in the repertoire, which is specifically written for wind band. It is an interesting piece in a contemporary idiom that was written ahead of its time (1969). This is a revised and colourful orchestration, and hopefully returns Triptych to its former glory, and gives it the attention it deserves. It is an exciting composition for the musicians, with many chamber music type moments, various solo opportunities and full of energy.

£61.00Transeamus usque ad Bethlehem - Franz Schneider
The original piece was written by Franz Schneider (1737- 1812), organist and musical director at the Benedictine abbey of Melk on the Danube, for choir, string quartet, two trumpets and timpani. This arrangement can be performed with choir and band, without choir or by a mixed ensemble or band. Instead of using the complete choir, one can also only use the first choir part solo with accompaniment of the quartet parts. Therefore, the four part mixed choir score has alternatively been arranged for multipart wind ensemble (from a quartet).The original string parts have been arranged for symphonic band. Thanks to the cue notes, the passages intended for large band can also be performed by smaller ensembles in a most satisfactory way. The various instrumentation possibilities are clearly indicated in the instrumentation lists of the wind quartet and orchestra. The complete percussion part is totally 'ad libitum'.

£83.30Elsa's Procession - Richard Wagner
Wagner composed his opera Lohengrin about 1849. This splendid piece is extracted from that opera. It describes a huge procession of nicely dressed guests headed by Elsa walking through the cathedral gate. The guests take their seats while Elsa proceeds to the altar to marry Lohengrin, the 'Swan Knight'. A brilliant theme starts in a subtle way and swells in some minutes into one of the absolute highlights of the late romantic period.

£173.60Fantastic Variations - Luís Carvalho
This is an extremely impressive and important work, which demands the highest level from both musicians and conductor. The subtitle of Fantastic Variations is 'Homage to Duarte Ferreira Pestana', referring to one of the most inspired composers for Portuguese bands, and there are moments in the piece of clear allusion to the works of Duarte Ferreira (specifically to his most famous work 'Arco-ris' [Rainbow]).

£56.50Movin' Up! - Dean Jones
The beat just rolls on! Movin' Up! is very much a sequel to Dean Jones' previous work Hangin' On! There are the usual sounds you'd expect from a swing band piece: vibrant sounding from the trumpets and trombones and then a layered harmonious texture from the horns and baritones. There's also scope for some top class solo work too around the band. There is one twist at the end... the pace is slowed down, the 'top button and bow tie loosened', but the scene is set and concluded with exciting brass sounds.

£81.20Last Chance Saloon - Dean Jones
There is a certain charm about the 'Old West' and the stories of heroes and villains, gun chases and love stories. In this 3-movement piece you can hear it all from the Cowboys on Horseback to the warmth of the Camp-side fire before one final Gallop!

£154.60Oriental Dance - Wilhelm Peterson-Berger
Wilhelm Peterson-Berger (1867 1942), Swedish composer, beloved most of all for his collections of small piano pieces, Frsblomster 1 3 (Flowers from Frs). Peterson-Berger himself, primarily treasured his five symphonies and five operas, but todayit is mainly his songs and piano pieces which are performed. Besides composing he worked as a music critic at the daily paper Dagens Nyheter, and was feared by many for his sharp, sometimes almost vicious, pen.Peterson-Berger originallycomposed Oriental Dance for piano during his studies in Dresden in 1890, and immediately orchestrated the piece. It is one of his earliest pieces,somewhat of a bagatelle, admittedly, which mighthave found its inspiration in Griegs Peer Gyntsuite, yet it has a na ve charm which well compensates for its weakness. Oriental Dance was first performed by the Knstlerverein in Dresden in February, 1890.
