£115.00Chambers of a Heart - Ralf Uhl
Faith, love, courage and hope are the greatest powers that are inherent in every human being. These powers originate from the human heart.Years ago, the composer stumbled across the story of a man who takes care of abandoned, terminally ill children: Mohamed Bzeek. His selfless actions not only touched me deeply, but also showed me how big the heart of every human being can be and how valuable the four powers of faith, love, courage and hope are. With Chambers of a Heart, a suite in four movements, I want to inspire everyone to rediscover and strengthen these powers in their own hearts. Mohamed Bzeeks words: You have to do it from your heart, really.

£99.50Funky Hedde - Torstein Aagaard-Nilsen
A good friend of mine, trombonist and professor Jesper Juul Windahl commissioned me a trombone quartet. I then wrote Four Nordic Folk Pops. The last of the four is a Norwegian tune called Havard Hedde in a funky version. Then I made a brass quintet version for Lofoten Brass Quintet for a their Australia tour. The trombonist in the quintet asked me for a brass band version to be used in an entertainment contest (SIDDIS Brass). Havard Hedde did not succeed in getting married, but I think this version wil make him dance again. Torstein Aagaard-Nilsen

£356.00Symphony No. 5 in B-flat Major, Op. 100 - Sergei Prokofiev
Written in a single summer month while World War II was still raging in 1944, Prokofiev's Symphony No. 5 would become not only one of the composer's most celebrated and performed works, it would stand among the giants in all of 20th Century classical compositions. Cast in four movements, Prokofiev once gave a statement that he intended it as a hymn to free and happy Man, to his mighty powers, his pure and noble spirit. He added, I cannot say that I deliberately chose this theme. It was born in me and clamoured for expression. The music matured within me. It filled my soul. Deliberate or not, his statement likely helped placate the Communist Soviet Party, who under Stalin ruthlessly, and often fatally, censored the art and music of the time. This Southern Music publication represents the first complete band transcription of Prokofiev's monumental work by one of the world's most respected wind band editors, Dr. R. Mark Rogers. The edition provides a rare opportunity in the symphonic wind band repertoire for ensembles to perform an orchestral masterpiece in its entirety.

Andante from the Surprise Symphony - Franz Joseph Haydn
"He alone has the secret of making me smile, and touching me to the bottom of my soul," said Mozart about "Papa" Haydn and his music. The "Surprise" Symphony (No.94), incidentally written during the final year of Mozart's short life, has become one of Haydn's most memorable works.Since this symphony was written during the zenith of the Classical period, Timothy Johnson's skillful arrangement gives you a perfect opportunity to teach your young band "lightness" and control as essentials of Classical style playing. You can introduce the concept of making the staccato notes "separated" instead of just "short" in order to best approximate the sound of the times. It's a naturalselection for your next festival or concert! Why not give your young band a chance to meet "Papa" Haydn through this charming arrangement?

Fantasia Per La Vita E La Morte - Bert Appermont
The mystique surrounding life and death formed the starting point of this composition. I wanted to write a work without a story, mixed up in a kind of musical quest for a new world of sound, original rhythm sequences, melodies filled with suspenseand distinct orchestral tones.The indirect cause was the birth of my first child which took place during this time, followed by the death of a close family member. At such a moment you experience just how close life and death are to each other, anddespite one being the antithesis of the other, they are incredibly similar. Both radical events are passages into new worlds and have great emotional impact. Moreover, the work was commissioned by "New Life", an orchestra that lost one of itsmusician in a plane crash, which also led me to believe that this approach would be appropriate.I would prefer not to comment on which passages in the composition concern life (birth) and which refer to death. It seems to me that it is moreinteresting to question traditional conceptions and leave it open for the listener. If you think that a passage is about birth, and this idea then shifts, it is this that raises fascinating questions, on both a musical and metaphysical level.Music isin an indirect but incredibly persuasive way in which to express the endless striving and seeking of mankind. Music can even touch eternity, as it were, and give us the feeling that we can transcend death. This endless search (and also longing) canbe heard throughout the work; as much in the sound fields and accent shifts in the first part as in the enormous tension curves and compelling themes of the second part. The semi-tone functions in this way as a guide or something to hold on to,running through the whole work and upon which much of the musical material is based. Traces of profound love resound with quiet simplicity in the slow section's melodious solos, after which the work contemplates life and death one last time, musesupon joy and sadness, on the possibilities and limitations of people and on the why of all things.I would like to dedicate this work to my dearest daughter Paulientje, to Meterke and to Johan de Jong of the "New Life" orchestra. May it fare themwell, here or in another dimension...
