Cartoon Capers - Stephen Bulla
All right. Admit it. When you were a kid, some of your favorite music came from cartoonland. Who knows? It may have been cartoons that first introduced you to your favorite classical masters. Would Rossini's "William Tell Overture" be what it is today had there been no cartoons? Isn't the glissando the REAL reason your Trombone section decided to play that particular instrument? Treat yourself, your band, and your audience to some good old animated goofiness, a few merry melodies, and a lot of slapstick fun. They'll love it. What could be more fun than Stephen Bulla's CARTOON CAPERS?

£68.99Der Tod und das Mdchen - Franz Schubert
Within the history of art song, the 600+ lieder of Franz Schubert stand supreme - though they were often intended purely for performance in his intimate circle of friends. Schubert arranged Der Tod und das Madchen for stringquartet (an indication that he was pleased with the song) in 1824. Mr. De Meij has adapted the second movement for concert band, where the majestic Death has an even more impressive appearance in the dark glowing sound of winds.

£105.80Copplia - Léo Delibes
Copplia, a ballet in two acts and three scenes, was premiered at the Opra National in Paris on 25 May 1870. Despite its early success, performances were interrupted because of the Franco-Prussian War and the siege of Paris in 1870-1871, and also because of the death from smallpox of the young principal ballerina, Giuseppina Bozzacchi, on her 17th birthday. This ballet represented a courageous break with references to supernatural and ethereal spirits so dear to the Romantic esthetic, to address instead a world of adventure. Swanhilde sees, on the balcony of Dr. Copplius, a beautiful girl: is she the daughter of Copplius that no one has ever seen? So, with a series of adventures, Swanhilde and her girlfriends, taking advantage of his absence, manage to enter into the house of Dr. Copplius, a toy manufacturer and a magician. Here, they discover that Copplia, the beautiful daughter, is nothing else but a mechanical doll. Meanwhile Franz, the boyfriend of Swanhilde, sneaks into the house through the balcony. The sudden return of Copplius scares away the kids: only Swanhilde (hidden behind a curtain) and Franz remain. Copplius is able to sedate Franz, who has since declared his love for Copplia and, laying him close to the mechanical doll he tries, thanks to his magic, to take Franz's spirit and transfer it to Copplia. Swanhilde is able to intervene and wakes Franz; she tells him about the deception and escapes with him, while Copplius disconsolately embraces his mechanical doll. The ballet ends with the marriage of Swanhilde and Franz. Lo Delibes (1836 - 1891) was a student of Adolphe Adam at the Paris Conservatoire. The composer of several operettas, he reached success with the ballet Copplia. He wrote other ballets, among which the best known are Sylvia and La Source, and several operas including Lakm.

£102.99To my Country - Bernard Zweers
The Hymn To My Country is the trio part of the second movement, entitled 'In the Country', from the third Symphony To My Country (1886 - 1890) by the Dutch composer Bernard Zweers (1854 - 1924). This symphony was written at a time when a lot of composers were largely inspired by patriotic feelings. The compositions of Zweers have apparently been influenced by his contemporaries such as Antonin Dvor k, Jean Sibelius (Finlandia), Bedrich Smetana (who also wrote a work entitled 'My Country' (Ma Vlast) - a cycle of symphonic poems including the famous Moldau) and Edvard Grieg. Although his father, a music dealer and amateur musician, at first described his son's musical activities as'a waste of paper and time', Zweers did not abandon his vocation. When the 27-year-old Bernard Zweers conducted his first symphony in 1881, his father was so impressed that he allowed his son to devote himself completely to music. Thre arrangement of this chorale was written on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the Liberation of the Netherlands on May 5th, 1995, and is dedicated 'To My Country'.
