£116.40Musique Funebre Maconnique - Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Although one can strive for original music in the field of the wind orchestra, the arrangement still has its place. When one hears Mozart's moving masonic funeral music played by a symphonic or fanfare band, one can be forgiven for thinking that the composer had actually composed it with this instrumentation in mind. This is even more the case with lesserknown classical works when the listener may well be unfamiliar with the composition.

£76.80Intermezzo 'Il Sogno' - Pietro Mascagni
Pietro Mascagni (Livorno 1863 - Rome 1945) got famous overnight when his first opera 'Cavalleria Rusticana' was premiered in 1890. Of his later operas only 'L'Amico Fritz' and 'Iris' got some success. However several arias and intermezzi are still on the traditional concert repertoire. This is also the case for this intermezzo 'Il Sogno'(The Dream) brilliantly arranged for symphonic band by Wil van der Beek.

Molenaar Edition already published several of his compositions, such as Burleske, Children's Suite, Poem for French Horn and Symphonic Band and Russischer Reigen.

£140.80Piece Heroique - César Franck
Csar Franck (1822-1890) was born in Liege, Belgium, and his great musical talent was discovered when he was still a small boy. When he was 12 years old, his family moved to Paris. In the French capital he was active as a teacher, an organist and a conductor. In 1858 he was appointed organist at the Sainte Clotilde Church in Paris; that church boasted brand new Cavaill-Coll organ. For this instrument Franck wrote Six pices pour grand orgue (Six pieces for grand organ) in 1862 and in 1878 Trois pices pour grand orgue (Three pieces for grand organ), one of those pieces being Pice Hroque . This energetic and lively composition starts with the typical rhythm of a traditional French overture. The central choral is in a major key, but then major and minor keys alternate and the work ends with a powerful fortissimo.

£90.30Moving Spirits - Fred Vogels
At the commemoration ceremonies of the '60th anniversary of the Liberation' several stories about the concentration camps were brought up once more. Most poignant was the improvised act by an ex prisoner of the Auschwitz camp, scantily dressed in the frosty weather, calling for attention for the terrible injustice done to those people. These stories reminded the composer of the stories told by members of his family that had been locked up in those camps. 'Moving Spirits' is dedicated to those who have been imprisoned and those who have died in these concentration camps. The title refers to the fact that this terrible experience marked those people for life. The spiritual quiet and peace will perhaps never come back because one is still wondering 'why?'
