£82.50Corridors Of Castle Doria - Barry E. Kopetz
The Corridors of Castle Doria is a musical journey through a castle of varied and mysterious corridors. The opening represents standing upon the steps of the castle and being in awe of its size and majesty. The first corridor becomes narrow and somewhat close, moving ever smaller into a virtual crawlspace. The next section represents a dungeon-like corridor, dark, dank and musty, followed by a secret passage. Finally, there appears a long dark corridor that ultimately ends in the Great Hall and then a race to get out of the narrow corridor and outside to safety.

£82.50Ragansong - Robert E. Foster Jr.
A beautiful ballad written for the composers daughter, Ragan, the songs is a reflection of her quiet and unassuming demeanor and the beauty and love of a fathers bond to his child. This moving and lyrical work begins with a gentle lullaby presented by the woodwinds which represents her at sleep. As the work progresses, it gradually builds until the full ensemble depicts Ragans dynamic personality and joy of life. It then unwinds as it began, as though you are watching your child gradually fall asleep in your arms. An effective, slower piece that will showcase musicianship and musicality through lush lines and beautiful phrases.

£82.50Incantation and Shadow Dance - Barry E. Kopetz
Incantation and Shadow Dance is a musical representation of the appearance of the witches in the Shakespeare play "Macbeth." The piece opens with two exceptionally long and emotionally charged measures, the mood slowly building, much like "chanting over a cauldron," dark, mystical and enchanting, invoking the spirits of the night. Then everything changes very abruptly, as a rhythmic introduction announces the appearance of the spirit dance. It represents a "dance macabre" and as such, brings a sense of impending evil and darkness to the mood until the full complement of spirits are now dancing around the fire. The gathering of "storm clouds" heralds the appearance of all manner of dark and sinister creatures joining the dance which builds to climax as all the spirits gather for the final frenzied finale.

£104.50Flat Out and Wide Open - Barry E. Kopetz
Here is a natural extension of the composers experience of rebuilding and driving a classic Mustang. This driving piece can be viewed as a series of "gear shifts" as you race across a straight, flat stretch of highway. Opening with the rev of the engine, the piece quickly moves into high gear for the remainder of the work, built on short, punctuated, intense motivic ideas. These short snippets propel the music forward as though accelerating wildly with an impending sense of loss of control. A real burst of powerful V-8 musical fun.
