£87.99A Life Well Lived - Rob Romeyn
Every now and then we are fortunate enough to know people who make lasting impressions, seem larger than life, and are just memorable. "A Life Well Lived" by Rob Romeyn, dedicated to the memory of his lifelong friend Jeff Norman, presents a powerful and triumphant message of personal courage, strength, and grace... a true celebration of life. The music begins with a transparent, ethereal quality that seems almost too perfect for this world. From here, a hauntingly beautiful melody is introduced. This melody develops and evolves, finally maturing into a statement of incredible emotion and power. After a breathtaking climax, the intensity subsides, back to the exquisite quality from which the music began, finally ending with a heartfelt spell that will not soon be forgotten. A very emotional, lyrical piece of uncommon quality, not to be overlooked. Our highest recommendation!

£149.40Joyful Life - Jerker Johansson
When Jerker Johansson in the 80's started to compose he was for a while obsessed with writing music in odd time signatures, more specifically 7/8. He was asked during the fall of 2020 by Leif Karlsson (former member of the legendary percussion ensemble Kroumata and nowadays conductor) to write something challenging for Uppsala Blsarsymfoniker and this resulted in Joyful Life. The piece is, to say the least, difficult to tap the pulse along to and is something of a baptism of fire for the musicians, regarding rhythmic precision. Joyful Life is dedicated to the always likeable Leif Karlsson (Joyful Leif!) and was premiered on the 15th November 2020 by The Swedish Air Force Band under the baton of the composer.

The cycle of oceanic life is vividly depicted in this stunning programmatic work for band by Rossano Galante. Through the sands of time, the ocean's behemoth size holds a multitude of lifeforms.

"Tempest of the Ocean" brilliantly captures all these elements. An outstanding work for mature bands by one of America's most exciting composers! Magnificent!

£102.99The Fairy Tale King - Jacob de Haan
This work is inspired on the dramatic life story of Ludwig II, former king of Bavaria. He was given the nickname Fairy Tale King because of his eccentric lifestyle, his love for medieval sagas, and the building of extravagant fantasy palaces, such as the world famous Neuschwanstein Castle. Ludwig II grew up in a strict environment but found support through his friendships, love for romantic fairytales, and the music of the German 19th century composer Richard Wagner. After Ludwig's sudden accession to the throne followed a cancelled wedding and a tragic ending, after which he became a national icon of Bavaria. The music reflects his eventful life with fairy-tale-like, romantic and dramatic sounds. Two themes from Wagner's famous opera Lohengrin form a returning homage to his tragic life story.
