From Christmas in a Box : This collection is composed of three musical duos which belong together per region or style. You can order these separately per duo or as an entire collection.

for C/Bb Baritone - Euphonium solo and Concert Band-This is an ideal work to bring your euphonium or baritone soloist into the limelight. All aspects of the instrument are featured with virtuoso rhythmic passages as well as attractive cantabile melodies. The straightforward accompaniment makes itpossible to play this composition with practically every band as the parts have been provided with sufficient doublings.This is an ideal work to bring your Euphonium or Baritone soloist into the limelight.

This well-known hymn belongs to the essential repertoire when it comes to church concerts. This has to do with the way in which the work slowly develops. The start is very intimate and melancholic eventually leading to an enormous climax with a resounding (ad lib) organ. Erik Mast has given this traditional hymn a makeover - with an eye for detail and ample doublings in all parts.

One very tiny “pop“ in space resulted in one very big bang that created a vast amount of energy from which life eventually sprang. The Big Bang also starts with that a big bang! The music then begins its journey through timbre and tone colours starts developing melodies complementing rhythms and interesting chords that all represent the creation of something new. Strong dissonances hint at the turmoil that existed while moments of beauty signify balance arriving at various parts of the universe. These contrasting events create a very engaging and exciting musical montage of The Big Bang and what happened next.

A Suite of Five Dances (early 16th Century)-For this collection of instrumental dances the composer musician and publisher Tielman Susato (ca. 1510-1570) focused on well-known folk melodies of his time. In 1551 the album was published by his own Antwerp company bearing the title ‘Het derde musyck boexken’. Manu Mellaerts has already made numerous transcriptions of renaissance works for concert band and this time he sought to create a suite of five dances based on Susato’s collection. A good challenge for those who would like to try something different!

for Trombone Quartet-The title refers to the warm and beautiful sound of the trombone which Bert Appermont tried to use to its full potential when he composed this piece. This golden glow will come alive in the bright fanfares of the first and third movements. In thebrassy effects and heroic melodies of the second movement and in the beautiful expressive choral in the third movement. The composition ends the same way as it began with the main motif echoing away - but now combined with the chorale themefading into the golden glow of the final chord.
