£84.99The Last Rose of Summer - Traditional
The Last Rose of Summer is a popular Irish folksong. The original text was written by Thomas Moore (1779-1852) and the melody is a traditional air titled The Groves of Blarney. The German composer Friedrich von Flotow (1812-1883) cleverly used this song in his opera Martha, a light-hearted, successful work that is still regularly performed. The melancholy character of The Last Rose of Summer still appeals to many people in the present day and this arrangement by Wil van der Beek certainly does justice to the beauty of the melody. A wonderful item to change the mood of any performance.

£76.80Ballad for Winy - Peter Laine
Peter Laine has got a long and rich career with entertainment (and more serious) music. His experience, with a.o. the famous Swiss ensemble 'Hazy Osterwald Sextett' and several bands and radio orchestras in Switzerland, The Netherlands and Belgium, still fertilizes his original and extremely well orchestrated compositions for symphonic band. A nice example is this beautiful and expressive ballad which he dedicated to his charming wife Winy. A fine illustration of how woman's love is still the ideal muse nowadays

£72.99Dream of the Rarebit Fiend - Thomas Thurban
A rose by any other name is still a rose. This work enjoyed at least three different titles after its creation at the beginning of the 20th century. But whatever it was called, it is a delightful example of the cakewalk (don't take it too fast!) and should be played often.

£89.99Highlights from George and Ira Gershwin's - George Gershwin
Strike Up the Band is a 1927 Broadway musical by George and Ira Gershwin, based on a book by George S. Kaufman. Surprisingly, the show proved to be an early failure for the talented Gershwin brothers, closing while the out-of-town tryouts were still underway. Despite this setback, it was revised in 1930 with a somewhat similar plot by Morrie Ryskind, and the show enjoyed a respectable run of 191 performances. This arrangement by James Barnes includes four of the best tunes from Strike Up the Band: Mademoiselle in New Rochelle (composed for the 1930 revival), Soon (also composed in 1930), The Man I Love, and Strike Up the Band. Curiously, The Man I Love, which is now considered to be one of the most popular George and Ira Gershwin standards, was NOT included in the 1930 run of the show.
