£70.50Thin Places - Bill Thomas
The concept of "thin places" comes from the ancient Celts who believed that there are places on the earth where the distance between this world and the world beyond is very slight. Thematic material comes from the hymn "Nearer My God to Thee" and from melodies of the indigenous people of North America. Haunting, dramatic, and powerful.

£79.50Down Wilderness Road - David Marlatt
This lyrical piece was inspired by the opening of by the great American composer Aaron Copland. The title has two possible meanings: it could be a depiction of someone walking on a rough trail through the many woods of Ontario enjoying the sites, sounds, and smells of the peaceful forest; or it could be describing a specific path in the southern United States of America. Wilderness Trail was one of the principal routes used by settlers to Kentucky in the late 1700s and was blazed by none other than Daniel Boone.

£66.95The Golden Age - David Marlatt
The Golden Age is a piece written in the carefree style of the music written in North America at the turn of the 20th Century. The concerts in band shells throughout Canada and the United States contained such popular compositional types such as: theme and variations, orchestral transcriptions, waltzes, overtures, rags and marches. This four movement suite takes a typical concert at that time, and puts it all in a single, multi-movement work.
