£135.50Galactic Suite - Vincent Robert
A long time ago... in a small village near the Dutch city of Delft two friends had a rather hazardous idea: they wanted to write a sequel to the legendary 'Star Wars' cycle. The idea was realized and landed on the desk of the (film) director. However, the latter had already developed his own ideas and thanked them for the trouble.Today, more than twenty years later, the former musical sketches have been assembled in an accessible suite that will sound familiar to many listeners. It is an attempt still to realize part of the original idea and we do hope you will enjoy it.

£82.80March, Romance and Final - L.C. Neves Serra
This work as the title indicates, is composed of three different sections. After an introduction of great energy appears a quite melodious March that has within it an euphonium solo, itself also very melodic and exhilarating. Following a brief transition arises Romance, lyrical and exciting, finalized by a horn and euphonium solo in dialogue. Suddenly, without warning, arises the apotheosis of the Finale placing clear highlight on the metals. A work of simple structure with a magnificent sound result.

£138.00San Pedro de Alcntara - Valdemar Gomes
The Spanish war galleon with 64 cannons, built in Cuba between 1770 and 1771 for an English shipowner in the service of the King of Spain left Peru for Cadiz in 1784 with a huge cargo of copper, gold, silver and other valuables on board. There were also more than 400 people on board, including passengers, crew and Inca prisoners after a revolt. The Atlantic crossing went smoothly, passing Portugal to take advantage of favourable winds. The shipwreck off Peniche was the result of human error, apparently due to French maps with dramatic errors in the position of the islands of Berlengas and neighbouring islets. On 2 February 1786, the sea was calm and the night clear, but they hit the rock formation Papoa and the hull immediately broke in two. The bottom sank quickly, while the deck remained afloat for some time. 128 people lost their lives, including many Indians who were trapped in the basement. This shipwreck is considered one of the most important in maritime history.What the composer wants to convey, and what can be felt as one listens, is first of all the sound of power, of hope, of the glory of conquest, of the splendour of wealth. This is followed by the perception of the maritime environment, the harmony with the softness of the ocean, the gliding of the hull in the foam of the sea on sunny, blue days. But along with this tranquillity, you soon hear a rhythmic chain that makes you feel a representation of the hustle and bustle, of the busy crew, of the hard work of a sailor, of the desperation of an exotic people imprisoned in a dark, damp cellar. A distinct rhythm that reminds us of the "salero" of Andalusia, with its Arab influences and its people, the soothing of the resignation of others who are forced to submit. Then we clearly hear a crescendo that makes us imagine the agony of the collision that precedes the shipwreck. The breaking of the hull, the water flooding everything, the despair, the clash of bodies on the rocks, the tragedy to come. Before the "grand finale", in which the return of musical softness reminds us that the story is over. The supremacy of nature over human greed. The waves, though gentle, sweep the wreckage, the lives and the treasures of the New World to the bottom of the sea.

Thus, getting in a very early concert and keeps kids in the band program.

£435.40Symphony No 1 for Wind Band - Solitude Standing - Stig Nordhagen
The two movements in this symphony have quite similar structure and length, and this is no coincidence. As a composer, I try to create two musical stories that comes from the same starting point and thought, but they sound and feel different. Music often describes something you cant say in words. This composer stands in the middle of the symphony, here personalized as trombone solo (or euphonium) and tries "Solitude Standing" to make a bridge between the two parts. - Stig Nordhagen -
