£66.00Invincible - Eugene Magalif
"Invincible" by Eugene Magalif is a reconstruction of a concert march originally composed by Konstantin Georgiadi, a prisoner from Stalin's GULAG camps. Following approximately two decades in the camps, Georgiadi became a teacher at a music college in Zaporizhia, Ukraine, although following his death, his archives were destroyed. Composer Eugene Magalif's father had met Georgiadi in a GULAG. Occasionally, during Eugene's youth, his father played this march for him, and this reconstruction consists of memories of particular phrases from the piece.

£89.99Preludio all' atto I - Giuseppe Verdi
Ernani (1844), Giuseppe Verdi's fifth opera, is based on the homonymous tragedy by Victor Hugo. Verdi's success with Ernani, as well as Nabucco and I lombardi alla prima crociata, can be ascribed to two distinct ideas: the melodic idea and the patriotic idea. The melodic idea is very important to move and touch the audience, while the patriotic idea is the source of enthusiasm and emotions. Approximately ten years elapse between two similar stories: the one of the outlaw Ernani and the one of Manrico, the troubadour. In the prelude to Act I, in only three minutes, Verdi has succeeded in skillfully concentrating the main elements of the entiredrama. One can clearly observe the themes of love, oath, and death.

£129.99Ratatouille Satirique - Traditional
Erik Satie, born in Honfleur in Normandy (France) in 1866 is undoubtedly one of the most striking personalities in the history of French music. He composed in various, often quite divergent, styles. Besides light-hearted, entertaining works he also wrote several serious compositions, among which the three ballets: Parade, Rel che and Les Aventures de Mercure. However his piano pieces, such as Trois Gymnopdies or Gnossiennes will remain his most popular compositions. Satie co-operated with almost all great artists of his time: Pablo Picasso, Jean Cocteau, Sergej Diaghilev and Georges Braque and the composers Darius Milhaud (Le Groupe des Six) and Claude Debussy. Johan deMeij made an orchestration of three short pieces by Erik Satie: I. Prlude (from: Jack in the Box) II. Rverie (from: Trois petites pices montes) III. Marche: Le Piccadilly (1904) It was only after Satie's death in 1925 that the manuscript of the piano piece Jack in the Box was recovered. Satie himself thought he had lost the manuscript in a bus. When his flat in Arceuil was cleaned out, a small notebook was discovered behind his piano and it contained the manuscript which was assumed to be lost forever. The Rverie (De l'Enfance de Pantagruel) is an extract from Trois petites pices montes, originally composed for small symphony orchestra. In this suite it is meant as a restful intermezzo. It is clear that, as with Milhaud (La Cration du Monde) and Debussy (Golliwogg's Cakewalk; Le Petit Ngre), it is hard to deny obvious influences of jazz music in Erik Satie's compositions. Le Piccadilly, dating from 1904, displays a lot of similarities with the compositions of Scott Joplin.

£65.99The Untitled March - John Philip Sousa
NEVER BEFORE PUBLISHED. Written shortly before his death, Sousa's "The Untitled March" was never performed during his lifetime because a page of the original was misplaced until it was located by Sousa researcher Loras Schissel in 1989. Keith Brion & Loras Schissel have restored the missing music and then edited the march to conform to the standard performance practices of that time using Sousa's original copy. Besides being an exceptional march in the Sousa tradition, this edition includes extensive performance notes and the full and fascinating story behind this historic piece. This publication is an official, authorized Sousa edition of John Philip Sousa, Inc., the family corporation.
