£106.00Radiant Horizons - Gauthier Dupertuis
As part of its 850th anniversary celebrations, the Swiss municipality of Reinach (Canton of Basel-Land)) commissioned Gauthier Dupertuis to write an energetic and engaging work for its wind band, MG Konkordia Reinach, under the direction of Maestro Miguel Etchegoncelay.Originally titled Reinach Jubilee, Radiant Horizons, takes the form of a miniature overture, driven by an almost continuous pulse from beginning to end. Its opening section, decidedly festive in character, contrasts with a more tranquil central episode before gradually returning to the solemn and jubilant spirit of the opening.Radiant Horizons: a festive overture both exciting to perform and rewarding to listen to!

£54.95Two Movements from William Byrd Suite - Gordon Jacob
Of all of Gordon Jacob's major contributions to the British wind band repertoire, the William Byrd Suite (written in 1923) stands as his most-often programmed work. Though originally based on six movements from William Byrd's Fitzwilliam Virginal Book, this setting for developing band incorporates two contrasting movements including "The Earle of Oxford's Marche" and "Wolsey's Wilde." Like Jacob's wind band work, the music is not a mere transcription from the original keyboard collection, but rather stylized with his own inventive musical spirit for modern concert band. A wealth of material here that opens doors to teachable moments as musical textures---dynamic contrasts, articulations, scoring options---are continually changing. Bravo! (2:33) This title is available in SmartMusic.
