The Legend of Taum Sauk - Larry Clark
A strong new concert/contest piece written to depict the legend of Taum Sauk mountain in central Missouri. It is a classic Romeo and Juliet saga that involves two different tribes of Native Americans. Larry Clark works to bring out the drama of this story through his music. It is at first fast-paced and pulsing, with a 6/8 groove followed by a love song built on the same musical material, then leading back to the uptempo music for a conclusion. A solid work for young band that can introduce 6/8 time and has cross-curricular possibilities.

£72.95Lonely Travelers - Travis Weller
Layering two songs which speak to the idea of searching for something beyond your current situation, this is an excellent piece for teaching an ensemble to blend so they can hear each other and not be individually heard. Using 900 Miles and The Wayfaring Stranger for compositional material, thematic elements from both are interwoven into the overall musical fabric. 900 Miles' lonely railroad worker is heard in woodwind train whistle effects and the homesickness of The Wayfaring Stranger, as heard in the movie "1917", is effectively portrayed by a moving treatment using long tones with a continuing rhythmic accompaniment. A strong concert, contest or festival choice, this work offers cross-curricular opportunities as well.

Castellum - Jan Van der Roost
This work, in two movements, was written for the 50th anniversary of "Harmonie St. Cecilia" in Oudenburg, Belgium, and is dedicated to its conductor, Arne Wyntin.The first part is rather quiet and pastoral in character, and is written in a gently rocking 12/8 time. The tranquility of the area around the medieval town of Oudenburg, a rustic region not far from the North Sea, is expressed in a striking fashion. After a beautiful orchestral climax, the second part begins, which is inspired by the Roman past of Oudenburg. A somewhat oppressive and impending introduction leads to the musical reflection of an army parade: Oudenburg was a so-called "castellum," and the remains ofthe fortress are still visible in the current town plan. A more dynamic passage follows featuring the low brass. After that, the solemn rhythm of the parade is recaptured, culminating in a triumphant ending.

Flight - Brian Balmages
Premiered at Carnegie Hall, this minimalistic fanfare celebrates SpaceShipOne, the first privately manned spacecraft to exceed an altitude of 62 miles twice within two weeks. The three sections explore the launch to space, reaching the apogee (weightlessness), and the return to the atmosphere. Punctuated by incredible brass fanfares and woodwind flourishes, the entire work is a bundle of energy from start to finish, and is the perfect opener for any concert. Monumental! (4:21)

This Symphony in two parts is an early work from the celebrated composer Ida Gotkovsky. Attracted by composition from her earliest years, Ida Gotkovsky entered the Conservatoire Nationale Superieur de Musique de Paris. After passing some years in these classes in the rue de Madrid, she was awarded all the leading prizes for writing and composition. She also gained many international awards including the Prix Blumenthal and the Prix de l'Institut de France. This artist is situated in the French School which, in her view, is the ideal synthesis of the Art of Music. Chamber music, symphonic music, lyrical music, ballet music. All are widely represented among her works. Numerous State commissions have been awarded to her, including an Opera 'Le reve de Makar' for which she wrote the libretto herself. This work was crowned with the Grand Prix de la Ville de Paris. At the age of 32 she wrote this impressive and beautiful masterpiece in the style of Ravel.

£116.40Trianon - Serge Lancen
A jewel, compositionally, simple technically, Lances has written a fantastic piece of music. This work along with two others was commissioned by the French government for the 'more minor' orchestras. The quotation marks here are intentional, for we feel that this piece is just as worthy of top orchestras.

£76.80Strangers in the Night - Singleton/Bert Kaempfert
Quite and desolate streets in a cold grey night. Two lonely people meet each other and a love story begins. This was what I saw in my imagination while arranging this famous evergreen. The leading parts in this romantic story are played by the oboe (soprano saxophone in the fanfare band) and the euphonium. Harald Suilen
