A 10-minute work which follows the journey of the Thames from its origins as a few drops of water in Wiltshire to the point where it meets the open sea. Along the way Hess draws upon many musical links along the Thames such as an old Wiltshire melody morris dancing in Oxfordshire boating songs from Berkshire.With such rich and diverse sources of music across several counties and centuries this has quite understandably become one of Hess's most popular wind band works to date.

East Coast Pictures originally written for wind band have now been transcribed by Phillip Littlemore introducing these exciting programmatic pieces to a wider audience. These three short pictures' were inspired by several visits by the composer to a small part of the USA's East Coast an area that provides great extremes in the geography and the people. Shelter Island is a small island situated almost at the end of Long Island a few hours' drive east of New York. In the summer it becomes a crowded tourist trap but in the winter it is gloriously deserted and bravely faces the onslaught of the turbulent Atlantic shrouded in sea mists anddriving rain. In upstate New York lie the Catskill Mountains an extraordinary combination of tranquillity and power peace and majesty. Once seen they call you back again and again. New York ...or to be precise Manhattan. For anyone who is familiar with this bizarre and wonderful city this picture' needs no explanation. For those not yet hooked here is a foretaste of things to come.

Madrigals by the Renaissance composer Monteverdi provided the inspiration for my own Madrigali . Symbolic images of flames burning and fire recur often in Italian love poems from this era and my cycle on texts employingthis fire motive blends stylistic musical features of the period (word painting modality bold harmonic shifts intricate counterpoint augenmusik etc.) within a contemporary compositional idiom. The music emanates from asingle primal sonority (the Fire-Chord) which opens the piece and is found extensively throughout all six movements in myriad forms and manipulations providing motivic unity to complement the poetic. This cycle ofmadrigals has been designated an American Choral Masterpiece by the National Endowment for the Arts. --Morten Lauridsen

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”.

Each movement of the 20-minute concerto is based on a different hallucination from the ominous ‘Doppelgänger’ to the rather absurd ‘The lemonade speaks.’ Inspired by Oliver Sacks’s fascinating exploration of atypical mental states Five Hallucinations Carl Vine’s Trombone Concerto was premiered in October 2016 by Michael Mulcahy and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra under James Gaffigan.
