Bright Future€78.00
The composition 'Bright Future' was written as a prize for Fanfare 'Kunst Na Arbeid' Hierden (conducted by Arno Groeneveld) for their victory in the 4th division at the Open Dutch Fanfare Championships (ONFK) in 2023.The commissioner's wish was to create a contrasting work, combining march-like gestures with chorale-like sounds within a contemporary idiom.The contrasting theme serves as a metaphor for innovative paths the band has taken in recent times in order to achieve a positive and clear future perspective.The title (provided by the band) originated from this idea. 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.

In the Air€174.99
The composition is upbeat, dynamic, and the notes dance. There is no story to tell, but simply a mood of cheerfulness and levity. In the Air expresses a consistently joyful, light-hearted and positive vibe through its mischievously playful motifs; the music blows through as if a light breeze, a fresh wind. Gerald Oswald was born in 1968 in Groß-St. Florian. He completed his education as a trumpeter at the Johann-Joseph-Fux Conservatory and the University of Music and Performing Arts in Graz. He further pursued studies in conducting and composition under Franz Cibulka at the Johann-Joseph-Fux Conservatory in Graz, Thomas Doss at the Music and Arts Private University of Vienna, the Music School Leonding, and the C.
