Omaggio a Bellini€ 189,99
Met de operas van Bellini als lichtend voorbeeld creëerde Saverio Mercadante een contrastrijke ouverture gebaseerd op lyrische en dramatische momenten uit zijn eigen werken. Deze bewerking geeft moderne blaasorkesten toegang tot een compositie die op grond van haar verouderde instrumentatie ten dode was opgeschreven.

The Idol of the Flies€ 204,99
Het verhaal The Idol of the Flies van Jane Rice (1913-2005) is een klassieker in de horrorliteratuur. De componist heeft ervoor gekozen om de inhoud van het verhaal niet programmatisch weer te geven, maar de archaïsche en mysterieuze sfeer ervan te creëren. Zoals in veel horrorklassiekers zijn de omgeving en de spanning belangrijker dan de inhoud van het verhaal. Huiveringwekkend...

Of Men and Mountains€ 132,95
Of Men and Mountains was commissioned by the Netherlands Brass Band Championships for their 10th Anniversary Contest, held in Drachten in December 1990.
The title of the work and its genesis came about as a result of a train journey the composer took in July 1989 across Canada from Toronto to Vancouver. The awe-inspiring journey through the Rocky Mountains, with its high peaks and shafts of sunlight breaking through the clouds, with its canyons and ferocious rapids, made the composer understand a little more about the majesty of nature and the fragility of humanity. The eternal struggle between man and nature was personified in the building of this incredible railway, hence the title (after Blake).
The work is dedicated to the memory of Eric Ball, who died shortly before the writing of the work was commenced.
Of Men and Mountains is in one continuous movement and lasts about 17 mins. Its form is difficult to describe because of its motivic and accumulative nature, but it is essentially a symphonic tone poem in search of a theme, which eventually comes in its final and complete state in the majestic ending after an ever-increasing paced scherzo.

The New Jerusalem€ 115,95
Commissioned by the National Youth Brass Band of Great Britain and first performed in 1990, a revised contest version was subsequently used as the set-work for the 1992 National Championships of Great Britain. It has since become one of Philip Wilby's most revered compositions and has been performed throughout the contesting world. Although initially inspired by a quotation from the Revelation of St John — "And I saw a New Heaven and a New Earth; for the first Heaven and the first Earth were passed away….", in the composer's mind it subsequently took on an almost allegorical dimension — much like Eric Ball's 'Journey into Freedom'. Revised against a backdrop of huge political change following the demise of the Soviet Union and the domino effect of collapse that occurred throughout former Eastern Block communist countries, for Wilby it came to represent "the triumph of the human spirit over oppression". As he himself wrote: "For a moment, the prophecy of St John's Revelation was suddenly highlighted in a new and quite unexpected way. The off-stage fanfares*, the turbulent nature of a large proportion of the band music and above all, the piece's life affirming end may all be seen as an optimistic vision of that social and religious rebirth".

Center of the Universe€ 219,99
De titel van deze compositie – in opdracht geschreven naar aanleiding van het 75-jarig jubileum van muziekvereniging Excelsior uit Ouwsterhaule – verwijst naar een bijzonder kunstwerk van Gerlof Hamersma, dat dit Friese dorp in het midden van het universum plaatst. Met krachtige thema’s, pastorale passages en een uitbundig slotgedeelte is Jan de Haan er in drie in elkaar overlopende delen andermaal in geslaagd een aantrekkelijk werk te creëren waar orkesten wereldwijd veel speelplezier aan zullen beleven.
