£116.40The Introduction - Jos Pommer
Here is another fine original piece by Rob Pronk, adding guitar, piano and bass guitar to the usual wind band scoring. These rather unusual instruments start this composition called The Introduction, though it could be considered as a real concert piece. The orchestration is rather transparent and the tunes are wandering through the instrument groups.

£186.20Une Vida Un Dia - Pablo C. Escande
The title a life, a day or life as one day is the basis of the musical contents of this composition. It consists of five parts and is written in a neo baroque style, combining a number of baroque music elements, such as imitative counterpoint, abundant ornamentation and tutti solo effects, with more contemporary elements such as composed rhythms, modal harmonics and dodecaphony.Part 1: Alba - Dawn. Just before the sun rises, the world is full of tensed expectation of a new beginning. At daybreak a new life is received with cries of jubilation.Part 2: La Maana - Morning. The early life has begun. Hardly conscious of its environment, the child is resting in its mother's loving embrace.Part 3: Mediodia - Midday. Now is the time! Time to work, to love and to dance in the midday sun, but also to start the fight, before strength is flowing away. Let's not waste time!Part 4: Tarde - Twilight. The day is not over yet, but time passes by. Dusk is falling, the end approaches inevitably...Part 5: La Noche - Night. The comforting dark relieves the strong anxiety of the soul. Finally the soul is released of all worldly bonds.

£52.70Counterdances From The Lowlands - Paul Voet
We start our trip in Wallony, the French speaking part of Belgium where folk music is having a big revival nowadays. A solo cornet invites us with a classic opening as a little promenade to the dance, always accompanied by a tenor drum. Some instruments join but the cornet ends up alone. When the euphoniums present their more up tempo 'quasi Celtic jig' all groups dance together towards the end. Now and then syncopated counterrhytms occur in accompanying parts.The 1st theme is from the manuscript of Franois-Joseph Jamin (early 19th century).

£52.70Far Eastern Dream - Paul Voet
The longest trip we make is to the Far East. Japan, China, Tibet,... all countries with an enormous cultural background and history. Percussion is very important here to give a rich dimension to this Japanese 'Black Bamboo' theme. Tam-tam, Chinese cymbals, Tibetan gong and a kododrum (if not possible, large floor tom) together with marimba and glockenspiel are used all the time in a carefulway. A solo cornet presents the main theme that is answered by the whole lower brass section. Whilethis theme develops now and then the sounds of the impressive 'dung' is heard. (dung is the Tibetan very large trumpet-like instrument with loud and very deep sounds) In a quicker tempo Eb bass, euphonium and solo cornet start with the theme and even the counter theme. The whole group joins the party but everything ends very silently with mute.

£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.
