Lough Leane€ 102,25Lough Leane is geschreven in opdracht van "Koninklijke Harmonie De Verenigde Vrienden - Bree" als muzikaal eerbetoon aan hun voorzitter Luc De Bruyne. Het werk probeert de schoonheid weer te geven van Lough Leane, het grootste meer van Killarney in Ierland. De dichte akkoorden geven een mysterieuze mistlaag weer boven het meer. Geleidelijk aan komt de zon op waardoor die mistlaag wegtrekt en de prachtige natuur rond het meer en op de eilanden zichtbaar wordt. Doorheen het hele werk is de Ierse invloed zeer sterk merkbaar. Hopelijk kan Lough Leane u doen wegdromen van het prachtige landschap in een van de mooiste landen van de wereld!

Nightglow€ 77,41The young British composer Ben Hollings found his inspiration for 'Nightglow' during a night out in the open air.

A beautiful slow work for any band!
The work was commissioned by K.F. De Berthoutzonen as part the collaboration 'Fanfarissimo' between 9 fanfare bands to expand the original repertoire.
