Rewenich€120.00The composition "Rewenich" tells the life story of 15th century knight Rienck Bockema, a story of conflict and reflection. The composition consists of five connected movements, each highlighting a phase in the life of Rienck Bockema ('Rewenich'). Bockema lived in Sneek at the Rodenburg manor (Nauwe Burgstraat). It soon became clear that Rienck Bokkema's world was bigger than Sneek. Because of his achievements during the battle against the Turks on Rhodes, he was knighted by King Edward III of England. When his wife Bott died suddenly, he went on a pilgrimage to Jerusalem for fear of guilt and eternal punishment. There he got a new holy mission: a crusade to Lithuania, where he fought at Grodno. After a turbulent time full of violence and battle, Rienck Bockema chose for contemplation. He founded a monastery near Sneek (the Thabor monastery) and became a monk. He spent the last period of his life in this monastery.

The Spartan Warriors€124.78The 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!

A Tallis Fanfare (fa)€84.99A Tallis Fanfare is a festive and virtuoso composition by Rodney Newton, based on the well-known canon of the 16th century composer Thomas Tallis. Newton's work functions excellently as the ultimate concert opener, and is characterized by its surprising modulations and beautiful color palette. The skillful fanfare arrangement is by Marten van der Wal. There is plenty of room for the saxophone section.
The hymn in the middle section is preceded by a quick festive passage that returns at the end. A Tallis Fanfare contains many contrasts and is a rewarding occasional work at various events. After a festive introduction by the entire orchestra, Tallis's leading theme is performed by the trombone section, after which the saxophone group takes over the musical direction of this hymn. The ending is a reflection of the beginning; grand and exalted.
