?His present pieces must convince both connoisseurs and others alike of the unbiased opinion that Beethoven will in time become one of the greatest composers in Europe? thus wrote Joseph Haydn when informing the Electorin Bonn on the progress of his pupil in 1793. However the elector replied that he was already familiar with parts of the Parthia Op. 103 that had been sent as evidence of the composer?s progress.Beethoven had apparently only reworked an earlier composition. Nevertheless we must agree with Haydn: the Parthia and the Rondo WoO 25 that was originally intended as the final movement provide wonderful evidence ofBeethoven?s great skill. This Urtext edition also contains additional parts for Horns in F.

Commissioned in 1994 by the Royal Air Force 'Scramble!' is a concert overture for symphonic wind band inspired by images of the RAF's airfields during the Battle of Britain immortalised for ever in such films as 'Reach for the Sky'. The pastoral opening depicts the lull before the storm: the young pilots sitting in wicker chairs outside their barracks on a sunlit morning. The peace is of course deceptive suddenly amid siren sounds there is a shout of 'Scramble!' and a rush to the waiting planes. In no time at all the squadron is airborne heading for a skirmish over the English Channel and beyond. A lyrical central section featuring a solo cornet depicts the stillness manypilots described as they flew to engage the enemy before the battle breaks out once more. For those who returned it would be only a short while before once again they would hear the familiar shout of 'Scramble!'

It's hard to believe, but this is one holiday that's celebrated everywhere around the world. From the creative mind of Ralph Ford there's a different style for any occasion. The tune remains protected with copyright status and it's a must-have in every library for that special occasion. You won't know what language to use when making your wish and blowing out the candle!

The Inferno is the first movement of Robert W. Smith's four-movement work The Divine Comedy based on Dante Alighieri's literary classic of the same name. Dante's vision of hell consists of nine concentric circles divided into four categories of sin. This first movement of the epic work uses visual imagery with huge blocks of sound and explosive winds and percussion. Colossal in scope! (7:20) (Movement four - The Ascension - BD01085)

TThe combination of award-winning composer John Williams and the talents of Robert W. Smith make for exquisite results. A stunning medley of the four most revered themes from the epic film score. The arrangement begins with the familiar Prologue: Book II. Next is the aggressive theme from The Chamber of Secrets, followed by Fawkes the Phoenix, and finally the theme used in both of the first two films, Harry's Wondrous World.
