£98.50Tulsa: A Symphonic Portrait in Oil - Don Gillis / arr. Maurice Ford, Clarence Barber
The First National Bank of Tulsa, Oklahoma commissioned "Tulsa" to be played at the opening of their new bank building. The piece is a symphonic poem in four sections depicting Westward Expansion, the discovery of oil, and the resulting celebration. "Tulsa" is dedicated to the bank and to conductor H. Arthur Brown who recorded this work with the Vienna Philharmonic. At the time of recording, Vienna was occupied by the USSR, thus preventing the scored "gun shots" from being performed to avoid starting another war.

£50.50Ballad for Peace - Frank Erickson
The word "peace has many connotations: "a state of tranquility or quiet, freedom from war and harmony among neighbors", and more personally, "freedom from disquieting thoughts and emotions". This piece was written in an attempt to express ideas such as these. The form is similar to the composer's earlier Balladair (AABCAA) with a modulation leading to a final extended statement of the opening melody, serving as a codetta.

£58.50The Red Baron - Erik Morales
Based on a famous World War I German fighter pilot, this work feeds off of the raw emotion of open-air cockpit combat. A haunting opening effectively uses voices to portray a great red triplane emerging from a misty cloudbank in preparation for battle. As the pace of music intensifies, the plane is ambushed from behind and roaring trombone glissandos help paint a picture of aviation chaos as the planes dive through the air. Absolutely thrilling!
