A Western Suite€94.99The atmosphere of the Wild West is caught in a striking and most imaginative way by young composer Andreas Schulte in this work. A caravan of gold- and fortuneseekers launch themselves into a big adventure and begin their rush westward.
The first movement desciribes these first days of buoyancy and optimism in a crisp march. Near the campfire the pioneers rest themselves, and the music expresses feelings of romance, nostalgia for the past and hopes for the future. A wistful melody very characteristically communicates these feelings. Relaxation takes place in the third movement which is a musical characterization of a rodeo and its attendant festivities. It is obvious that sometimes something goes wrong and this aspect can also be heard.
Nevertheless, the valiant rider wins in the end. With a flashback to the beginning, the journey is completed musically, thus giving the composition a dignified finale.

Bright Future€78.00The 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.

Poème Symphonique€276.00The work was written for the World Music Competition in Kerkrade as a compulsory work for the 1st division fanfare in the 1989 edition, and for a long time was only available as an original fanfare work. Since then it has remained a very appealing composition for the Brass and wind music audience, not only because of the exciting progression of the piece, but also because of its special compositional approach.
As is often the case with popular works, a version for concert band was also regularly hinted at in this work. It is quite common knowledge that Rob Goorhuis does not like to write in a HAFABRA mode. His works generally only exist in one setting, the original, for the orchestral form for which it was conceived. However, Rob Goorhuis has devoted himself to a completely new version, which does justice to the color palette of the concert band. The flexibility of the woodwinds gives an extra dimension to the new work thus created.
