All Cried Out
At the beginning of the 1980s Alison Moyet was discovered by Vince Clarke, who - in search of greater independence - had left the successful band Depeche Mode. The soulful singing style of Moyet and the electronic, innovative pop that Clarke made melded well together in the group Yazoo with hits such as Only You and Don't Go. However, after a number of years Moyet went her own way and forged a solo career, during which she demonstrated a somewhat more traditional sound. She recorded several covers (such as The First Time I Ever Saw Your Face and That Ole Devil Called Love) but she also wrotefine songs herself, such as Love Resurrection and, of course, the expressive song AllCried Out. This arrangement by Peter Kleine Schaars does justice to the atmosphere of the original song.

Hornpipe Highlights - Johan Nijs
The Hornpipe is a typical Celtic solo dance, traditionally danced and performed by English sailors. A sound often associated with the Hornpipe is that of the Bdhran, an Irish drum made with a sheep's skin head. John Nijs has taken great care in creating an authentic-sounding Hornpipe in which the Bdhran part is played by the tambourine, but sounds just as good!

£58.50The Monster Under the Bed - Robert Sheldon
What child hasn't imagined frightening creatures lurking in their rooms at bedtime?

This is sure to be a hit with players and audience alike. The perfect novelty for any concert, and even more so if your concert is in late October! (2:15)

£89.99Serenade Romantic - Joseph Turrin
This exceptionally unique work by Joseph Turrin is composed in memory of Howard Hanson, one of the 20th century's greatest proponents of American music. While decidedly modern in sound, the mood of this piece adheres to Hanson's own belief in the value of "warm blooded music" rather than the pursuit of coldly abstract, purely cerebral music. Hanson's influence on 20th century music and the post-Romantic style is clearly evident in SERENADE ROMANTIC.If you've ever wished for something genuinely different for your higher level group to explore you owe it to yourself to check out this remarkable piece.
