£22.95Academic Festival Overture Op. 80, Critical Edition - By Johannes Brahms / arr. Carl Simpson
Brahms composed this work during the summer of 1880 as a tribute to the University of Breslau for conferring on him an honorary doctorate of philosophy. Known for his love of irony, Brahms based this overture on a number of familiar melodies resulting in what he called a "very boisterous potpourri of student songs." Included is Was kommt dort von der Hh ("What Comes There from on Yonder?"), sung by upperclassmen to chide first year students, a German patriotic song Wir hatten gebauet ein stattliches Haus ("We have built this stately house"), and a triumphant finale on Gaudeamus igitur ("So Let Us Rejoice") that was commonly performed at many European high school and university graduation ceremonies.

£10.95Hypnotic Memories - By Rossano Galante
This charming and somewhat dark musical offering is a departure from this composer's usual "epic" style. Originally scored for fifteen players, this piece is much more intimate than the composer's thickly orchestrated grand works. Stylistically, a minimalistic compositional approach is used as the melodic content slowly unfolds over shifting ostinato patterns.
