Tarjan, Hungarian Pictures is a work in three movements commissioned by the town of Vesoul and its Concert Band. This work pays tribute to Jean-Marie Goux, the band’s former musical director, who had forged strong links with Hungary: whether in the village of Tarján or Budapest itself, he had shared his zest for life with the Hungarian people. This colourful work consists of three movements: ‘The 7th Tribe’, ‘Eternal Fidelty’ and ‘Conquest of the Homeland’. It offers not only strong musical content, but also historical insight about a beautiful region with a great tradition.

Malcolm Arnold: Grand, Grand Overture (Wind Band)- Score/Parts

Version for Wind Band. Legendary work composed for the 1956 Hoffnung Festival featuring solo passages for Vacuum Cleaners, a Floor-Polisher and Rifles.

Otto M. Schwarz: Leonardo (Score/Parts)

This work is based on the life and work of painter Leonardo da Vinci (1452–1519) who was also a sculptor, inventor, philosopher and researcher. Who doesn’t know his famous ‘Mona Lisa’ or ‘The Last Supper’? The composer used da Vinci’s note books (also known as codices) as a source of inspiration and the work follows the artist’s career programmatically. This is an incredible piece of music in which you almost can touch the artist and sense his urge for innovation and passion, making him one of the most important and interesting influencers of the 16th century.

From Ancient Times

From Ancient Times is a major work for brass band, inspired largely by the music of the Franco-Flemish School of the Renaissance. Hints of Gregorian chant and middle age dances pay tribute to music from even earlier times. The foundation of this spectacular work rests on truly ‘ancient times’ while the tonal language is of a much more modern nature!

The full score for the 1998 work Blæs På Odysseus, by Danish composer Pelle Gudmundsen-Holmgreen, written for SATB chorus with 6 Trombones and Percussion.

The Miracle : The Passion of Saint Margaret

This work was inspired by the 3rd/4th century legend of Margaret of Antioch. Margaret was very devout, and lived as a shepherdess in the countryside. When the city prefect Olybrius proposed to her, on the condition that she would give up her faith, she refused and was eventually put to death. To evoke the archaic early-medieval atmosphere, Bert Appermont has used two Gregorian Kyries. In addition, influences from old music (such as old modes and parallel fifths) and Carl Orff’s work are present. This four movement piece is an epic symphonic poem-like work with an incredible expressiveness and is ideal for a thematic concert or a contest.This work was inspired by the 3rd/4th century legend of Margaret of Antioch.

Panoptikum : Scenes from Lake Constance

Armin Schaer commissioned this work in his search for a new piece for the tuba. More specifically, he wanted a work that showed off the versatility of this splendid instrument, written in a musical style that is both fresh and modern, while not banishing the orchestra to a simple supporting role. Taking all these specifications into account, Thomas Doss created a work that allows stylistic leaps and is fun, exciting, romantic, and virtuosic, but does not lose sight of the thread that connects the opening measures to the very last.Armin Schaer describes his Panoptikum as follows:Panoptikum is a show of appreciation for my beautiful home and community at LakeConstance, an eventful life, the people that have enriched this life, and a fascinating instrument: the tuba. This work musically embodies the many different moods found around theBodensee - cheerfulness and melancholy, departures and longing, calm and agitation. The roles of the soloist and the orchestra were consciously crafted in a way that does not follow the usual conventions of the genre. The work should spark emotions, address broad segments of listeners, and persuade them of the tuba’s ability to be a solo instrument as well as the richness symphonic wind ensembles have to offer. I hope this work enriches the lives of all the soloists and orchestras that cross its path, as well as everyone in the audience who gets to partake!

Air and Simple Gifts

One of America's most historic moments was accompanied by this very unique work, composed especially for the occasion and performed by a quartet of America's finest artists – Yo-Yo Ma, Itzhak Perlman, Anthony McGill, andGabriela Montero. Maestro Williams has rescored his monumental work into a dramatic movement for string orchestra – a stunning display of emotion, musical power and grace. An advanced level piece for mature groups.

UFO Concerto : for euphonium & brass band

UFO Concerto is Johan De Meij’s first solo work for euphonium and it consists of five movements that are thematically related. The opening chord and the first theme are based on those used in ‘Extreme Makeover’ and ‘Planet Earth’ in 2005. David Childs premiered this work with The Cory Band, conducted by his father Robert Childs at the 2012 RNCM Festival of Brass in Manchester.

Osakan Jubilee : Grand Overture

In 2014, Philharmonic Winds OSAKAN (Japan) celebrated its fifteenth anniversary for which this work was composed. From the very beginning, Yoshihoro Kimura has been the artistic leader of the ensemble. Jan Van der Roost became the band’s first guest conductor in 2013. In this spectacular work the composer looks back at one of his most famous earlier works ‘Apollo', and to Adolphe Sax, the Belgian inventor of the saxophone.

Pastorale Symphonique

Jacob de Haan has composed a very interesting concert work with Pastorale Symphonique. Through music the composer reflects on one of today’s most important concerns, the adverse effect on the environment caused by man. The work consists of two main themes; one symbolises unspoiled nature and the second the negative influences of man on nature. A constant interaction between both themes develops into a meaningful final “marche funèbre”.
