£95.995 Tantum Ergo (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Bruckner, Anton - Doss, Thomas
Anton Bruckner (b. 4.9.1824, Ansfelden, d. 11.10.1896, Vienna) didn't have it easy. Throughout his life, the Austrian composer was plagued by self-doubt. Anton Bruckner came from a simple, rural background. After the death of his father, he was accepted as a choirboy at the monastery of Sankt Florian in 1837. After several years as a school assistant and his own organ and piano studies, he first worked as organist in St. Florian, then from 1855 as cathedral organist in Linz. Introduced to music theory and instrumentation by Simon Sechter and Otto Kitzler, he discovered Richard Wagner as an artistic role model, whom he admired throughout his life and also visited several times in Bayreuth. In 1868 Anton Bruckner became professor of basso continuo, counterpoint and organ at the Vienna Conservatory; ten years later court organist; and in 1891 finally honorary doctor of the University of Vienna. He was considered an important organ virtuoso of his era, but had to wait a long time for recognition as a composer. It was not until Symphony No.7 in E major, composed between 1881 and 1883, with the famous Adagio written under the effects of Wagner's death, that he achieved the recognition he had hoped for, even if he was reluctant to accept it given his inclination towards scepticism and self-criticism. Anton Bruckner was a loner who did not want to follow a particular school or doctrine. He composed numerous sacred vocal works, such as his three masses, the Missa Solemnis in B flat minor (1854), the Te Deum (1881-84) and numerous motets. As a symphonic composer, he wrote a total of nine symphonies and many symphonic studies from 1863 onwards, tending to revise completed versions several times over. Bruckner's orchestral works were long considered unplayable, but in fact were merely exceptionally bold for the tonal language of their time, uniting traditions from Beethoven through Wagner to folk music, on the threshold between late Romanticism and Modernism. Hymns for four-part mixed choir a cappella (1846, St. Florian) No. 1 in E flat major (WAB 41/3): Quite Slow No. 2 in C major (WAB 41/4): Andante No. 3 in B flat major (WAB 41/1): Slow No. 4 in A flat major (WAB 41/2): Slow Hymn for five-part (SSATB) mixed choir and organ No. 5 in D major: Solemnly They are simple works, completely subordinate to their liturgical use, which nevertheless already show numerous characteristics of personal expression. These small pieces were able to stand up to the harsh scrutiny of the mature master: in 1888, Bruckner subjected them to a revision in which he made only minor corrections.Duration: 11.00

£159.99Bulgarian Dances (Concert Band - Score and Parts)
Bulgarian Dances is a free rhapsody, divided into four distinct movements based on famous Bulgarian folk songs. These songs have a very old tradition and stem from both the antique world of Byzantium and even earlier in the ancient and mysterious civilization of the Thrace region. In the beginning they were monodic songs, then diaphonic, with characteristic dissonances of major and minor seconds which make them unique. What also makes these songs so fascinating are seductive and complex irregular rhythms. The composer, while remaining faithful to the original spirit of the songs, has not hesitated to broaden the musical ideas, enriching them and making them more suitable to the rich palette of colours of contemporary concert bands. A terrific modern addition to the band repertoire. 11:11

£79.95Variations on 'Was Lebet' (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Wainwright, Andrew
Variations on 'Was Lebet' is based on the German chorale of the same name, the first line of which translates as 'O worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness!' The opening fanfare figure in the Trumpets should be supported by bold, organ-like sostenuto chords in the lower band. Ensure that the fanfare in the Trumpets and Trombones from bars 25 to 28 is given equal articulation and volume in the antiphonal parts. After this majestic introductory section, the first of five contrasting variations is presented, although the tune is never realised in full form until the final variation, with fragments gradually being revealed as the piece progresses.Variation I is somewhat classical in approach, with its energy coming from a regular contrast between cantabile references to the theme, set against lively staccato figures. Ensuring a lightness of touch will be important here; the music should be poised and never sound frantic. As a result, careful attention should be paid to the tempo marking, being no quicker than 136 beats per minute. Snippets of the chorale come and go, with the last phrase of the hymn completing the movement. This final statement, at bar 95, should be an immediate change in tempo and a separate statement to the music that comes before.Variation II is plaintive in mood, giving the listener the chance to reflect on the following words, which form part of the second verse: 'Comfort thy sorrows and answer thy prayerfulness, Guiding thy steps as may best for thee be.' There is opportunity for rubato in this movement, at the discretion of the conductor.Variation III is somewhat quirky and volatile in nature, and takes its inspiration from the 3rd and 4th verses which describe the fearful times in life that we must entrust to the Lord. Driven by the Percussion section in particular, there are references here to Variation I with its chorale-like figures and hurtling scalic figures, and there is a feeling of a lack of resolution. A somewhat abrupt ending suggests that our sense of completeness in Christ is yet to be resolved. It is important that clarity and tempo are maintained in the bass line between sections L and M. Aim for consistency of line in the bass parts, particularly with the trade-offs between players here.There is a French romantic feel to the waltz in Variation IV, with the opportunity for various soloists to display their musicianship. A sense of ironic humour pervades throughout. The Clarinet and Bassoon duet from section U should be playful and display a lightness of touch, with that sense of style continued throughout the movement.Variation V is fugal in nature, with each section of the band being handed the theme at various points. Again it is important that a steady tempo is set at Y in order to maintain control. The sense of momentum gradually increases to a grandiose presentation of the full theme, beginning at section CC, affirming our completeness in the Lord, with the words of the first and last verses reiterated: O worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness! Bow down before him, his glory proclaim; With gold of obedience and incense of lowliness, Kneel and adore him, the Lord is his name.Duration: 11.45

£102.99Predator (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Deleruyelle, Thierry
The Chase BeginsThe peace of a mountain village is shattered by a dreadful rumour: whether animal or something more disturbing, a creature is said to be prowling the area. After a quiet beginning, the music builds up with tense, nervous lines: fear sets in. The soundscape becomes fantastical, almost like a Halloween night.The villagers gather to hunt down the beast, with the orchestra conveying their determination through clear and energetic writing. The chase accelerates, breathless and spectacular, up to an uncertain outcome: the creature vanishes, without anyone having seen it. The initial chorale returns, calmer but not reassuring. The village regains its tranquillity, while retaining the memory of a mystery that has never been solved.Duration: 11.45
