    Three Klezmer Miniatures
    €169.72

    Klezmer music originated in the shtetl (villages) and ghettos of Eastern Europe, where itinerant Jewish troubadours, known as klezmorim, had performed at celebrations since the early Middle Ages. Three Klezmer Miniatures uses thefollowing traditional tunes: 1. Sham Harei Golan (There are the mountains of Golan) and Nigun Shel Yossi, a circle dance. 2. Tumbalalaika, a Russian Jewish love song. 3. Hava Nagila, the most famous of all Jewish folk dances - thetitle means let us rejoice.

    Rococo Variations...
    €128.81

    Rococo Variations was commissioned by the British Open Championships for their 2008 contest in Symphony Hall, Birmingham, and co-commissioned by the Norwegian Band Federation, for their National Championship in Bergen in 2009.

    The title of the work has been used before, of course, most notably by Tchaikovsky in his work for cello and orchestra. My set of variations follows the Tchaikovskian model in that it is based on a quasi-Baroque original theme, and has certain ‘dance-like’ characteristics in the variations, but beyond that all comparisons end.

    There are six variations: Toccata, Siciliana, Waltz, Moto Perpetuo, Lament, and Fugal Scherzo, followed by a triumphant re-statement of the theme. Throughout, there is considerable contrast in the music, with the fast variations being rather virtuoso in character, sometimes with constantly changing time patterns, whilst the two slow variations (Siciliana and Lament) are in turn lyrical and pensive in mood with prominent solos and duets for a number of instruments.

    Although the work overall is dedicated by my brother, each of the six variations pays tribute to a different composer whose contribution to the brass band repertoire during the second half of the twentieth century has been of great significance. To this end, all six composers have their own ‘musical signature’ embraced within the particular variation, a process which reaches its zenith, contrapuntally speaking, during the final variation and reprise of the theme.

    €105.50
    Testpiece WMC 2026 - 3rd Division Brass Band

    Black Gold was commissioned by Musikverein 1891 "Harmonie" Saarwellingen e.V. (Germany) to mark its 130th anniversary. This composition pictures the history of the mining industry in the town of Saarwellingen and its surrounding region, where the life of the miners as well as their families revolved around coal, or black gold, for centuries on end. The piece is based on motifs from the famous song "Glück auf, Glück auf, der Steiger kommt..." ("Good luck, good luck, the mining foreman comes"), a veritable anthem for miners the world over.

    €64.40

    A Major Gratitude werd geschreven in opdracht van Da Capo Drogeham (o.l.v. Bienze IJlstra), Stichting Gondelvaart op Wielen en Plaatselijk Belang, ter gelegenheid van het afscheid van Oebele Brouwer als burgemeester van de gemeente Achtkarspelen. De compositie bevat twee thema’s die in dialoog met elkaar een rol spelen in deze compositie. Het eerste thema is gevormd uit letters van de naam Oebele Brouwer. Het tweede thema komt van het lied de Wâldsang (volkslied uit deze regio), die zijn oorsprong vindt in een compositie van Mozart. De thema’s symboliseren Oebele Brouwer zijn verbondenheid met de gemeente Achtkarspelen.

    €57.34

    Palladio is probably the most widely recognised of Karl Jenkin's works. It was used for some time in television commercials for DeBeer's Diamonds, in a world-wide campaign. The work was inspired by the sixteenth century Italian architect Andrea Palladio, whose work embraces the renaissance of harmony and order, a philosophy reflecting Karl Jenkins' attitude to composition.

    €74.31

    To see a world in a grain of sand,
    And a heaven in a wild flower,
    Hold infinity in the palm of your hand
    And eternity in an hour.

    De compositie Wild Flower, waarvan de titel afkomstig is van het bovenstaande gedicht (William Blake), werd geschreven voor Christelijke Brassband Wilhelmina Kollum (o.l.v. Koen van der Molen) ter gelegenheid van hun 125-jarige jubileum.

    'A land of pure delight' (Beulah) vormt op verzoek van de opdrachtgever de basis van deze compositie, die gaat over hoop, geluk en schoonheid vinden in kleine dingen. De compositie viert dat Chr. Brassband Wilhelmina Kollum al 125 jaar lang haar musici de gelegenheid biedt om geluk en schoonheid te vinden in muziek.

    €105.50

    Franco Cesarini was commissioned to write A Glorious Fanfare by the Band Association of the Zug Canton in Switzerland (Zuger Blasmusikverband), to celebrate the centenary of the Association (1922-2022).

    The composition is the third in a trilogy of scintillating concert opening pieces (which make up opus 38), together with A Triumphant Fanfare and A Joyful Fanfare. A majestic fanfare entrusted to the trumpets introduces the piece. Subsequently a cantabile variant of the same theme is presented leading to a finale with rich and impressive sounds.

    An ideal opening piece that will delight your audience!

    Magdalena Bay
    €146.78

    While admiring many masterpieces at the Louvre Museum in Paris, Gauthier Dupertuis’ attention was drawn to a less famous painting: Magdalena Bay, by French painter François-Auguste Biard (1799-1882).

    The work depicts a magnificent snowy landscape on the Norwegian island of Spitsbergen. However, in the foreground, the presence of the wreckage of a ship, bodies covered in snow and a visibly dying character make us understand that tragic events took place there. Thus, a strong contrast is formed between death and the sublime, between the desolation of the survivors of the shipwreck and the magnificence of the landscape. When we look in more detail at the painting, we notice that footprints have been made in the snow: so, could someone have gone to get help? This little glimmer of hope makes the picture even more touching.

    In this work, Gauthier Dupertuis tried to describe the different elements of the painting, using contrasting sections and dissonances (in particular, the conflict between the minor and the major) to convey the duality between death and the sublime. The work also attempts to highlight a wide palette of orchestral colors, from the most shimmering lines to the darkest low brass colours.

    In 2024, Magdalena Bay was awarded the first Prize as well as the band Prize at the 9th European Composition Competition for Brass Band, which was held in Palanga (LT). It was premiered on May 2, 2024 by The Cory Band, conducted by Philip Harper.
