The Spartan Warriors€124.78
The Sparta army is well-known in the time of the ancient Greek that the warriors would never lay down their weapons for any reason. The theme from the beginning of the piece strongly declares that the warriors are always willing to fight for their homeland. The slow movement reflects the feeling of the warriors when they are far away from their loved one due to their duty. The composers intently uses the harmony that gives a hopeful feeling but also painful at the same time. The audience can hear the bell during the piece. It is the symbol of the clock towers which located in every cities. Everytime that the warriors leaves a city, the sound of the bell becomes softer and softer until it disappears. Only at the end of the piece that the bell rings only one last time after the majestical theme. It's the bell of victory!

Nightglow€77.41
The young British composer Ben Hollings found his inspiration for 'Nightglow' during a night out in the open air. The work is inspired by a nocturnal celestial scene in which the scattered stars, comets, galaxies and other astronomical elements create a warm 'nocturnal glow' in the darkness of space. A beautiful slow work for any band!
The work was commissioned by K.F. De Berthoutzonen as part the collaboration 'Fanfarissimo' between 9 fanfare bands to expand the original repertoire.

In addition, the work contains a proud and maestoso character, to refer to the band's victory at the Open Dutch Fanfare Championships 2023.

A Water's Fantasy€134.50
A Water's Fantasy (In En Om De Sprengen) is a fantasy-like work in three parts, written for the music association Prince Bernhard Emst.
Part 1 opens with 'De Spreng' filling up. The water enters De Spreng in large and small shoots. Then we go on an adventure through Emst. It flows, as it were, from part 1 via the quiet meadows and nature (rehearsal number D) into the village, where it encounters all kinds of tourists in part 2. This second part (rehearsal number F) is characterized by the commotion. Here and there it gets a bit restless, but the prevailing atmosphere is almost festive. All kinds of different people together, which is also reflected in the rapid variation in the music. After this hustle and bustle, there is time for the peace and quiet that nature radiates around Emst (rehearsal grade I). Then the Emster Festival comes into view. First the preparation (rehearsal grade J) and then the party starts (rehearsal grade L). There is the option to have the entire club, including the starting youthplayers, play along by means of: the flex parties. This part (rehearsal figure L to the end) can also be played as a separate intermezzo.
