£154.60Sabor Caribeo - Sverre Indris Joner
"Sabor Caribeo" means "Taste of Caribbean". This original composition is written by Norwegian composer Sverre Indris Joner who has studied Caribbean music since mid-80s.The music presents traditional elements from Cuban and Puerto Rico. Polyrhytmics is an important part of the music which consist of up to four melody lines at the same time.It's recommended that both conductor and the percussionists study the rhythm patterns very closely. Especially congas and timbales which vary patters a lot. The role of the guiro must not be underrated.It is possible to simplify the percussion parts by choosing some patterns and play these for longer periods than written.

£135.80Ad Quartum - Luciano Feliciani
The city of Quart derives its name from the Latin "Ad quartum ab Augusta lapidem", or four Roman miles from Augusta Praetoria, present-day Aosta, along the ancient Roman consular road of the Gauls. The fortress of Quart, whose construction began in 1185, is the main source of inspiration for the composition. The work begins, in fact, as if wrapped in a mysterious, suspended atmosphere, when the fog that envelops the manor suddenly thins out and lets one see the majestic building in all its austerity. A rhythmically exciting episode follows this brief introduction, ideally describing the events that have marked the long history of these places. The music highlights the percussion instruments, which evoke ancient medieval atmospheres in a modern language. The second theme, derived from the previous one, describes instead emotions and feelings of grandeur, beauty, and peace associated with the splendid Valle d'Aosta mountains that surround Quart. A developed melodic idea, supported by wide-ranging harmonies, attempts to musically portray the extraordinary natural beauty of these places. The reprise of the first theme, varied and presented in a lively and energetic movement, guides the final part of the piece: a coda where all the melodic and rhythmic ideas previously exposed are condensed.

£121.00Third Vortex - Roland Barrett
From the creative pen of this talented young composer, we have Barretts latest contribution to the exciting contemporary literature for band. While not technically difficult, this work is extremely effective, as it presents four contrasting musical sections beginning with The Summoning, which opens with a very commanding tutti entrance that evolves into a quieter, mysterious section, then develops with a sense of urgency into a very strong dynamic ending. This is followed by Fear, a dramatic section with extensive use of percussion, leading to The Eye of the Vortex, beginning quietly, as it starts to develop to a great dynamic climax followed immediately by a serene quietness that leads to the final section, Fury, ending with a dramatic and furious finale. An exceptional, adventuresome new work!

£104.50Threnos - Andrew Boysen Jr.
Probably no speech in modern history has been examined and studied as much as Lincolns Gettysburg Address, and few speeches have been so often quoted and used in other peoples presentations, whether oral or musical. A fascinating recent study examines the rhythm of the words Lincoln used, researching the drama and the implications of their rhythmic content. These rhythmic implications are the basis of Bukvichs effective and dramatic new work, beginning appropriately enough with, Four Score and Seven.

£104.50Sunflower Slow Drag - Scott Joplin
The music in Sunflower Slow Drag is full of brightness and levity, having the light, upbeat character found in many of Joplins happiest compositions. After a brief introductory passage, the jaunty main theme appears in all its ragtime cheer, typical of Joplins works. The closing is especially reminiscent of the ending of his more famous The Entertainer and while not as well known, this cheerful four minute works deserves the same fame and popularity. Originally scored for chamber winds, optional parts have been included for larger ensembles.

£104.50River of Fire - Gary D. Ziek
Pele is the Hawaiian goddess of fire, lightning, wind, and volcanoes. According to legend, she lives in Kilauea, one of the worlds most active volcanoes. The chant of her devotees while Kilauea spews lava and fire into the sky is the basis of this composition. The first of four connected sections is Tribute, where the chant starts as a solo voice that adds weight to the chant with each repetition. The Awakening begins with an ominous mood that builds to an explosive climax as Pele wakes and reveals herself in full glory. March to the Sea comes at a faster tempo as two themes, creator and destroyer, interweave during Peles unyielding journey to the ocean, reaching fever pitch as Fire Meets Water.

£121.00Turkish Fragments - Mikhail Ippolitov-Ivanov
Pursuing his interest in the Turkish peoples, the composer created this work for orchestra in 1930. It is a richly melodic suite notable for its characteristically oriental turns of phrase. This work is presented in four movements: Caravan, which depicts a steady journey over rolling sand dunes; At Rest, alternately tranquil and spirited; Night, serene in nature with a slight touch of mystery; and Festival, a dance-like finale with unyielding exuberance. All the movements use material from folk music of the region combined with a wonderful pallet of wind-instrumental colors. An exotic and colorful Turkish fabric in music.
