£80.99Pandora's Lament - Romeyn
In Greek mythology, Zeus gave Pandora a box, but warned her never to open it. But the urge to open it overcame her. All of life's miseries came out of the box, let free into the world. The final thing remaining in the box was hope, and a new beginning. This powerful and poignant work depicts Pandora's myth. A bold and forceful opening statement gives way to a beautiful and haunting melody. Lush and mournfully dissonant harmonies gradually build to a climax of incredible emotion and power. As the music ends, we are reminded of a new hope and a new beginning, creating a sensitive and memorable moment. A meaningful and significant addition to the concert band repertoire; destined to be a classic.

£91.99Sunscapes - Wilson
This exciting work depicts the lively and sunny nature of the state of Florida. Opening with a brilliant and majestic section highlighting the state's bright and vibrant culture, a flowing melody follows, representing the calming winds and consistent breeze of the state. Dance is a large part of Florida's culture, especially in its southern region, and the 7/8 rhythm captures an Afro-Latin style dance movement. The chorale/hymn section is based on the "Florida Song," which is a traditional school song of many schools, including Florida A&M in Tallahassee. The work then recapitulates and moves toward a driving and joyful conclusion. An excellent contest/festival work!

Oh, My Heart Belongs To Ireland - James Swearingen
It's virtually impossible to visit Ireland without feeling an instant appreciation for the scenic countryside, the endearing charm of its many citizens, and for the deep-rooted history of the country's many crowning achievements. Solo trumpet/cornet (cued for euphonium) packaged with a brief, but optional, vocal solo highlights the beginning and ending of this beautiful piece. The middle section is pure Irish charm with a light and lively theme performed over the drones of bagpipes along with the rudimental sounds of drummers drumming. Simply stunning!

Rejoissant! - David Shaffer
As the title suggests, is a celebration of life's conquering obstacles, specifically of the composer's own personal battle against cancer. Written for the Upper Sandusky High School (Ohio) Wind Ensemble and with the thanks from the composer for the support and opportunity to compose this piece during a very difficult period of time, "Rejoissant!" opens with a slower dramatic fanfare in the brass and percussion. The simple but forceful melody is repeated in several forms throughout the piece, including the beautiful and melodic middle section. This exceptionally emotional and energetic composition is suitable for all concerts and especially festival performances.

Swirling In The Light Bulbs - Peter Sciaino
Infectiously rhythmic and energizing, "Swirling in the Light Bulbs" is a refreshing addition to any concert program! Conjuring images of an electrical current through swirling melodic lines and irresistible grooves, this engaging selection explores the wonder of harnessed energy. "Swirling in the Light Bulbs" is inspired by former U.S. Poet Laureate Billy Collins's take on this often overlooked modern miracle.

Allow audiences to be captivated as your ensemble generates a relentless pulse and builds exhilarating sonic momentum before a whimsically abrupt ending signals the band "powering off."

£137.00Tempest Of The Ocean - Rossano Galante
The cycle of oceanic life is vividly depicted in this stunning programmatic work for band by Rossano Galante. Through the sands of time, the ocean's behemoth size holds a multitude of lifeforms. These inhabitants are a compilation of beautiful sea life, moving gracefully through the waters. On the darker side, there are menacing eating machines that also terrorize these smaller sea creatures - the cycle of life in this oceanic environment. "Tempest of the Ocean" brilliantly captures all these elements. An outstanding work for mature bands by one of America's most exciting composers! Magnificent!

£87.99A New Birth Of Freedom - Rob Romeyn
The oratorical genius of Abraham Lincoln changed the course of history with The Gettysburg Address. "A New Birth of Freedom" by Rob Romeyn honors Lincoln's historic vision for the country in the post-Civil War era of reconstruction and dedicates itself to that noble cause. After a short introduction, a rudimentary solo section is featured on a theme that is reminiscent of the fife and drum musical style of Lincoln's time. This theme is developed upon as the music unfolds, gradually building and leading to a glorious, powerful, and dramatic apex. The work then moves to a restatement of that same fife and drum section on which it began, this time leading to a reflective and contemplative conclusion. A truly outstanding work that will bring a touch of class and nobility to any concert or festival performance! Outstanding!
