£66.95Legend of the Drop Bear - Brian Balmages
Inspired by a trip to Australia, Balmages composed this programmatic work in honor of the fictitious, yet wildly popular drop bear. The ominous opening portrays the eerie feeling of walking about, not knowing if one of these horrific creatures will drop out of a tree and attack. Achievable aleatoric sounds add to the mystery as the drop bear finally reveals itself and panic ensues. Extremely creative and engaging!

£50.50Bringer of War - Brian Balmages
Inspired by The Planets by Gustav Holst, this original piece pays homage to the first movement, Mars. Using only six notes in all instruments, the music still has a powerful quality that dares the listener to embrace the bold, majestic melodies and rhythmic ostinato. A unique original that invites further study of a master composer!

£50.50The Fire's Fury - Brian Balmages
An event so powerful that it is hard to control, seemingly unpredictable, aggressive, fast moving, and unstable. All these thoughts are explored as powerful percussion elements combine with dissonant intervals in the winds. Complex sounds for a work that is very approachable!

£45.95Enchantment - Brian Balmages
This dark, mystical work seeks to portray magical moments ranging from the most simple to the most powerful. Opening with an air of mystery and uncertainty, the music slowly transforms into feelings of power and confidence. Wind players do not encounter any eighth notes, so they are able to focus on the style and energy of the work. Truly enchanting!

£53.95Twittering Machine - Brian Balmages
Inspired by the ambiguous 1922 artwork by Swiss-German painter Paul Klee, this dark music depicts a struggle between nature and machine. A haunting melody slowly transforms as the machine around it grows (represented by a series of layered percussion sounds). A deeply rich and powerful work for young bands that invites many opportunities for cross-curricular discussion.

£92.50Swirling Prisms - Brian Balmages
This innovative work uses astonishing colors to convey the abstract concept of optical prisms spinning freely in space while reflecting light in numerous directions. With a strong nod toward Impressionism, the music has a significant focus on harmony, texture and orchestration. Inspiring, and unlike anything this composer has ever done.
