£5.95Keep the Faith (Concert Band - Score only) - Stubbs, Duncan
The composer writes: This piece originally started as a personal tribute to my late mother. Not long after writing the opening ideas, I was approached to write music to accompany a rendition of the poem, 'We Will Keep the Faith' by Moina Michael for performance as part of the 100th anniversary of the start of World War One. The appropriateness of the music already written, and the sentiment behind both concepts, was a coincidence too good to overlook. Rarely sentimental and always practical, I feel sure my mother would be delighted that the music she originally inspired was being used to portray a much wider universal message of remembrance.

£86.00Zeus: King of the Gods - Romeyn, Rob
This monumental programmatic work from the pen of Rob Romeyn captures the myth and legend of Zeus, the mythical master of the gods and men. A sky god, he controls lightning, which he uses as a weapon, and thunder. It opens as Zeus becomes involved in the Trojan war, hurling lightning bolts at his opponents. The tension soon subsides as we are introduced to the eternally beautiful Hera, whom Zeus would eventually marry. The music then ensues as our story unfolds, as Zeus made his domain the mountaintops and clouds where he could survey all creation, and inflict pain and justice on all evildoers. Tension builds as Zeus battles Typhon in hand to hand combat, ending ultimately with Zeus throwing the enormous Mt. Etna at the monster, pinning him underneath. From here, the tension subsides, and a beautiful lyrical section builds to an ending of incredible power and grandeur as Zeus again reaffirms his stature as the ruler of Mt. Olympus. This exceptional work is a wonderful addition to any concert or festival performance!Duration: 8.15
