The continued collaboration between director Tim Burton and film score composer Danny Elgman has led to numerous unforgettable soundtracks such as Beetlejuice and Mars Attacks! as well as Batman. Elfman’s music captures the vivid dark undertones of the movie and manages to maintain comic elements. Batman is such a popular character that even the likes of pop-star Prince contributed to the sound track with the song Batdance. Toshihiko Sahashi creates a brilliant medley with The Batman Theme Batdance and Party Man.

« La plupart des traditions de Noël en Angleterre sont relativement récentes. Montée sur le trône en 1837 la reine Victoria (née de Hanovre) régnera jusqu?à sa mort en 1901. En 1840 elle épousa son cousin le prince Albert de Saxe-Cobourg-Gotha. Leprince consort originaire d?Allemagne importa bon nombre de traditions de Noël allemandes au Royaume-Uni. Ainsi il fit découvrir aux Anglais la coutume du sapin et les cartes de Noël entre autres contribuant largement au Noël typiquement anglaistel que nous le connaissons aujourd?hui.Bien que les chants de Noël font l?objet d?une longue tradition en Angleterre de nombreuses mélodies que nous chantons proviennent ducontinent européen ou des États-Unis. Je savais bien que le célébrissimeSilent Night (Douce nuit) était d?origine autrichienne et que Hark the Herald Angels Sing (Écoutez le chant des Anges) était d?origine allemande. Pourtant quelle ne fut pas ma surprise d?apprendre qu?Away in a Manger (Sur la paillefraîche) ou encore We Three Kings nous venaient des États-Unis et que Ding Dong Merrily on High était un noël d?origine française. Quoiqu?il en soit j?ai réussi à constituer un canevas de mélodies anglaises pour réaliser cefestival de chants de Noël. »Philip SparkeRemarques sur l?interprétation : Cet arrangement est adapté pour une interprétation avec ou sans Chœur.

Dear Frog décrit l'histoire d'un prince qui est transformé en grenouille et attend la princesse qui va lui donner le baiser qui le délivrera. Une satire musicale pour trombone et orchestre. Ce qui est remarquable dans ce morceau est l'utilisation de la sourdine 'wahwah' tout au long de la composition ce qui lui donne en outre un caractère de farce.

The Battle on the Heath-Thyellene depicts of a battle that took place on the ‘Tielenheide’ - a stretch of moorland near the Belgian village of Tielen in 1597. In that memorable battle Prince Maurice of Nassau commander of the Dutch army defeated Count Varax a general of the Spanish army - with a considerably smaller troop than the enemy. This great heroic subject has been transformed into this equally great work for brass band which won the third prize at the 2009 European Composers Competition.

Christmas as celebrated in England is a relatively new tradition dating from the time of Queen Victoria. Her husband Prince Albert was from Germany and he brought many German Christmas traditions with him including the Christmas tree and Christmas cards and even carols such as Hark the Herald Angels Sing. Philip Sparke has however used a varied selection of English melodies to arrange into his Festival of Carols. The choir parts are seperately available (order no. AMP 227-050).

Scottish Dances is based on three Scottish traditionals: Cock of the North The Bonnie Bank's O'Loch Lomond and Marie's Wedding. I. Cock of the North's name is used for multiple things or events. For example for a locomotive to a famous it seems delicious liqueur and rallies to snowboard competitions. Furthermore is 'Cock O' the North ' a nickname of a famous Duke. (The 4th Duke of Gordon). In this composition Cock of the North (a Jig) is a traditional Scottish bagpipe tune regularly played on tattoos by Pipe Bands. Not infrequently the drummers sing the text. Auntie Mary had a canary Up the leg of her trousers While she was sleeping Iwas peeping Up the leg of her trousers. II. ' The Bonnie Bank's O'Loch Lomond ' is about a sad story that took place during an revolt against the British. In 1745 Bonnie Prince Charlie had to retreat. Two of his men were captured. One was convicted and executed while the other was released. The spirit of the executed soldier would arrive in Scotland via the 'low road' (underworld) before his companion who had still a long way to go. You'll take the high road And I'll take the low road And I'll be in Scotland afore ye But me and my true love will never meet again On the Bonnie Bonnie Banks of Loch Lomond III. In a Scottish wedding after the official ceremonies there is often danced. This is called a ceilidh. For this we use traditional Scottish music such as 'Marie's Wedding '. Mid dance we go back to the church where a lovely song in honor of the couple sounds. Marie's Wedding has been recorded by Van Morrison (among many others). Step we gaely on we go heel for heel and toe for toe Arm and arm and on we go all for Marie's wedding

The English king Henry VIII (1491-1547) is mainly remembered for disposing of his wives on a regular basis and breaking with the Catholic Church when the Pope Clement VII refused to grant him a divorce so he could marry Anne Boleyn. He was however a gifted athlete dancer and composer writing many songs poems and consort pieces (though not Greensleeves as is often believed). Pastime with Good Company is undoubtedly the best-known of these written in the first years of the 16th century while he was still a handsome prince newly married to Catherine of Aragon and the envy of Europe. The lyrics tell of the joys of hunting dancing and singing and would have been sungas part of the court entertainment.

This lovely ballad was recorded by Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston for the soundtrack of the Disney movie The Prince of Egypt. More recently it was a hit for X-factor winner Leon Jackson. A perfect inspirational item for any concert.
