£113.30Enjoy - Marco Tamanini
"Enjoy", but also savour, relish: this is not descriptive music, but music to be appreciated. From three points of view: the rhythm of the first movement, the melody of the second and the swing of the third. This piece is characterised by a continuous variation of timbres and colours, in a quest for instrumental solutions that are constantly changing. Examples of this are the main theme in the first movement, which provides the rhythmic backing for the introduction of the third movement, or the sinuous melody of the Bolero, which unravels in a constant development of sounds and timbres.

£121.00Third Vortex - Roland Barrett
From the creative pen of this talented young composer, we have Barretts latest contribution to the exciting contemporary literature for band. While not technically difficult, this work is extremely effective, as it presents four contrasting musical sections beginning with The Summoning, which opens with a very commanding tutti entrance that evolves into a quieter, mysterious section, then develops with a sense of urgency into a very strong dynamic ending. This is followed by Fear, a dramatic section with extensive use of percussion, leading to The Eye of the Vortex, beginning quietly, as it starts to develop to a great dynamic climax followed immediately by a serene quietness that leads to the final section, Fury, ending with a dramatic and furious finale. An exceptional, adventuresome new work!

Dark Energy - Robert Leslie Lee

Flight - Gregory B. Rudgers
This is a lovely, introspective piece dedicated to the loss of a dear person. Unlike many pieces that have come out of sorrow, this piece is uplifting. At first, you will hear lush, lyrical lines that recall the memories of the one lost, but then the piece soars with a lilting 3/4 time feel that brings this heartfelt selection to a dramatic conclusion.
