Make a powerful statement with this intense yet introspective work.

He Comes with Clouds Descending", the music contrasts themes of pure joy and euphoria with intense reflection and peace. Covering the gamut of emotions, Rapture, by Brian Balmages, is as intense in its lyrical moments as in the height of its rapturous glory.

Brass and woodwind take up the chorale. The piece ends in a mood of sanguine optimism.

£101.20Heaven Near the Earth - Afonso Alves
Heaven Near the Earth is a composition by Afonso Alves inspired by the belief that there is a paradise for the soul when the body dies. But as long as we live, it is in our hands to build paradise on earth. The 1st movement is epic with contrasting textures, with the brass section entering into an intense dialogue with the forest. The 2nd movement is quiet, recited, engaging all instruments in colourful sections. The 3rd movement is light and bright, with a melodic ostinato in crescendo until the finale, which creates great tension until the end of the composition. An excellent option for the opening of a concert.

£64.95December Joy - Douglas E. Wagner
Arranged by Douglas E. Wagner, three well-known secular carol tunes are showcased in this big and brassy, bright and flashy seasonal extravaganza, especially suited as a concert opener.
