£62.95The Good Daughter - Niccolo Piccini / arr. Eric Osterling
NICCOLO PICCINI (1728 - 1800), an Italian operatic composer, was born in Bari, but in Naples asserted his talent for music at an early age, entering the Conservatory at the age of 14. His opera buffa La Buona Figiuloa (The Good Daughter), which appeared in 1779, began a war between his followers and the Gluckists, who favored the reformed method of opera. Piccini was a prolific composer; in addition to opera, he wrote songs and much sacred music, including masses. His works are charming and melodious and show him to be a man of great genius. This transcription for band of the overture from The Good Daughter has been completed by Eric Osterling.

£150.00Froissart (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Elgar, Edward - Noble, Paul
Froissart, Op. 19, is a concert overture by Edward Elgar, inspired by the 14th-century Chronicles of Jean Froissart. Elgar was first attracted to the Chronicles after finding mention of them in Walter Scott's Old Mortality. Jean Froissart (c. 1337 - c.1405), often referred to in English as John Froissart, was a medieval French chronicle writer. For centuries, Froissart's Chronicles have been recognized as the chief expression of the chivalric revival of the 14th century Kingdom of England and France. The motto written by Elgar on the manuscript score is a quotation from an 1817 poem by Keats: 'When Chivalry lifted up her lance on high.' Froissart is not a programmatic work: unlike the later Falstaff or even Cockaigne it does not tell a detailed story; it evokes a mood and manner in broad terms. The drama of the dynamics enhances the haunting melodies that identify Elgar's compositions.
