£159.00Greek Folk Song Suite No. 2 - Franco Cesarini
After the great success of the Greek Folk Song Suite that has lasted for over twenty years, Franco Cesarini once again ventures into the long and rich tradition of Greek folk music. In his Greek Folk Song Suite No. 2, the three movements that form the piece are named after the three dances reworked by the composer.The first movement, Samiotissa is a kalamatianos, whose most distinctive feature is the irregular 7/8-time signature. It is a festive dance, today considered the Greek national dance, which has roots dating back to antiquity.The second movement, Kato sto jalo is a zeibekiko, a slow-paced dance performed by only one man at a time which was apparently originated among the warriors of Ancient Anatolia.The third and last movement, Chasaposerviko, is the fast part of the hasapiko dance and is characterized by its more extensive form.A new journey into the Greek folk tradition that will delight both performers and audience.

£139.99Golden Peak - Thierry Deleruyelle
Golden Peak is a concert piece that takes us deep into the world of volcanoes of the Auvergne in central France. They are dormant volcanoes whose origins date back from 7,000 to over 65 million years ago. Among the most well-known are the 80 volcanoes of the Chane des Puys, a spectacular natural environment ranking among the most fascinating landscapes in the world. The title of this dynamic and rhythmic piece is a reference to the local spa town of Mont-Dore and calls upon all sections of the orchestra. The central theme is very mellow yet riveting and the music depicts both the dynamism and tranquillity of the region.

£123.00Emerald Suite - Dwayne Milburn
Each of the three movements of this work uses a particular section of the North Texas State Alma Mater as its formative material, since it was commissioned in honor of Dennis Fisher and his 25 years of service to the North Texas State community. The Rondo is mostly in 7/8 and 6/8 time and is highly energetic, though it ends quietly. The Air is gentle and lyrical as it builds to powerful climax and then recedes to the same gentle mood that uses to open the movement. The March provides a perfect balance to the other movements and ends with great excitement. Each of these three movements stands well on their own and can be programmed either separately or in their entirety.
