Hermitage€ 117,99Jan de Haan inspireerde dit werk op vijf schilderijen uit de Hermitage in Sint-Petersburg, een van de grootste en meest veelzijdige musea ter wereld. Daarbij gebruikte hij het melodieuze Andante cantabile uit het strijkkwartet opus 11 van de Russische componist Pjotr Iljitsj Tsjaikovski als uitgangspunt. Zo creëerde hij een eigen muzikale schildering die net zo gevarieerd is als de doeken die eraan ten grondslag liggen – van Vrolijk gezelschap in een herberg van Dirck Hals tot De dans II van Henri Matisse. Een waar kunststuk!

Albion€ 154,99Dit semiprogrammatische werk over het middeleeuwse Groot-Brittannië – waarvan Albion de oudst bekende naam is – werd oorspronkelijk gecomponeerd voor brassband, maar vanwege het grote succes heeft Van der Roost twintig jaar na de uitgave voor brassband er nu ook een fraaie fanfare-instrumentatie van gemaakt. Koning Arthur, zijn ridders, het heftige strijdgewoel van weleer... al deze elementen komen voorbij, maar ook de lyriek wordt niet vergeten. Koning Arthur bracht per slot van rekening ook vrede en stabiliteit. Al met al heeft Albion bijzonder veel muzikale afwisseling te bieden, waarmee het een verrijking is voor het fanfarerepertoire.

Of Men and Mountains€ 132,95Of 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.
