£60.99Of Gale Force Winds - Richard L. Saucedo
The turbulence and intensity of a major wind storm is effectively recreated in Richard Saucedo's Of Gale Force Winds. Based around rhythmic figures that create a wind-like effect, and combined with a playful melody, the piecealternates between 6/8 and 9/8 staying rhythmically dynamic throughout. A very brief moment of repose hints at the period of calm that comes in the middle or eye of bigger storms. The fury of the storm then returns with darkersonorities and increased energy as this descriptive work comes to an exciting conclusion. Dur: 4:00

This energetic concert or festival opener is sure to make your band sparkle! Highlander is full of bright melodies for the woodwinds and trumpets juxtaposed with bagpipe-like drones in the low brass, calling to mind images of old Scotland. Generous use of the piccolo adds to the Scottish flair. A lovely woodwind chorale provides for an interesting contrast in the middle section, only to be interrupted by the exciting main melody which modulates and brings Highlander to a fantastic finish. Highlander is another sparkling concert or contest showpiece by Carl Strommen!

£73.50Arden Variations - John F. Edmunds
Arden Variations is a theme and variations form in three movements, each replete with melodic, harmonic, and rhythmic variations on the simple 8-measure chorale theme of the opening Prelude. Originally intended as an analytical study for students in the composer's Advanced Harmony course at Louisiana State University, the piece seemed to demand further development as each new harmonic device was introduced. Its frequent distant-key modulations and varied rhythmic excursions keep the simple melody alive and interesting throughout its six-and-a-half minute length. (6:30)

A Finnish Rhapsody - Clare Grundman
The opening measured of Clare Grundman's A Finnish Rhapsody are base on Oi kallis Suomenmaa (O Blessed Fatherland), an old South Bothnian melody beloved of the whole Finnish nation. The words of this song epitomize each Finn'snoblest duty, the readiness to sacrifice all in defense of his country's liberty. Next is an episode based on Kesilta (Summer Evening), one of the loveliest of Finnish folk songs, being as delightfully tranquil as the Finnishcountryside. Following this is a section based on the lively folk tune, Talon Tytt (The Country Lass), a mirthful love song about a peasant maid and her swain. This leads into the majestic Finlandia Hymn, created by Jan Sibelius.The work closes with the return of Oh, Blessed Fatherland, with all its strength and grandeur. (5:30)

Credo - Fisher Tull
As implied by the title, Credo is in the nature of a profession of faith. Organized in a tripartite form, the opening section presents a four-note motif contrasted with a chorale-like melody in the woodwinds. The slower middlesection is more contrite and reflective, the polyphonic texture in the woodwinds being imitated by a similar setting in the brasses. The final section employs development of the material from the first section in a fugal settingleading to a climactic affirmation followed by a resolute ending. (5:30)

Burlesco Romantico - Menno Bosgra
The colourful, compelling starting theme forms the leitmotiv throughout this piece. It is followed by a very rhythmical part with a catchy melody that is literally and figuratively music to the ear. A slow, almost meditative part follows with a beautiful alto saxophone solo that leads to an impressive chorale. The fast sections are once more repeated towards the end, but in another form. A fantastic composition by Menno Bosgra!

Suite - Boudewijn Cox
Suite for symphonic wind band is a rich orchestral piece that taxes the musicians to the utmost. The first part starts with a lyric melody in the French horn section, to be taken over by the full orchestra, ending in a kind of "anarchistic entrada". The second part starts with a transparently orchestrated polyphonic web, slowly passing into a richly arranged wave like movement that stops suddenly, leading to the third part's "attaca" start. This third part is a fragile "adagio con tenerezza". The finale is extremely virtuous and feriocious. It is a musical expression of anger, fear and despair.
