Having been considered as a 'fashionable' and 'cliché' composer of his day, Hahn's Piano Works remain unknown. Love Pieces and other hitherto unpublished Piano works, however, shatter these prejudices held, representing theengaging diversity of the composer's music. Venezuelan born Reynaldo Hahn (1875-1947) entered the Paris Conservatoire at 10 years old. He received a high standard of musical education from Decombes, Lavignac, Dubois and Massenetbefore becoming a prolific and versatile composer himself, writing works for all genres. For Hahn, music was a magical art and his Piano compositions often contain expressions of his otherwise hidden emotions and moods. Suitablefor intermediate standard pianists, Hahn's Love Pieces and other hitherto unpublished Piano works provide pleasant and evocative short pieces, incorporating a range of expressions, rhythms and other musical features.

Melody is the very essence of music. -W.A.Mozart (1786)Mozart confirmed this view on melody by writing the Ave Verum Corpus near theend of his short life. Originally written for chorus, strings, and organ, this work standsamong the most beautiful musical expressions of all time. Timothy Johnson has skillfullymade Mozart's wondrous achievement available to concert bands. It's perfect forworship services and the sostenuto style, with careful attention to dynamics, makesit a great choice for that middle spot at festival or for the more serious moment atany performance. Given the opportunity, young bands LOVE to play truly greatmusic, and it just doesn't getmuch better than the mastery of Mozart. Mozart componeerde het beroemde motet Ave Verum Corpus in 1791, tijdens zijn laatste levensjaar. Hij schreef het voor Anton Stoll, die leraar en koordirigent was in Baden (nabij Wenen). Hoewel het een van Mozarts kortste compositiesbetreft, wordt dit motet beschouwd als een van zijn beste werken en wordt het wereldwijd veelvuldig uitgevoerd. Het Ave Verum biedt de mogelijkheid om te werken aan de rijkdom van emotie die met muziek uitgedruktkan worden.Ave Verum Corpus ist eine Motette, die Mozart in seinem Todesjahr als Auftragswerk schrieb. Obwohl sie eines seiner kürzesten Kompositionen ist, gilt sie doch vielen als eines der schönsten. Timothy Johnson schrieb eine einfühlsame Bearbeitung für Blasorchester dieses musikalischen Kleinods.

Mesto - Concitato; Grave; Giocoso (for Trumpet and Orchestra - with reduction for Trumpet and Piano)
André Jolivet (1905-1974) established his love for composition from a young age. This remainedthroughout his life, and he held the post of Professor of Composition from 1966-1970 at Paris Conservatoire. Concerto No. 2 For Trumpet was composed in 1955, and remains highly regarded.
Jolivet,himself a cellist, wished to explore composition for all instruments, and therefore has a considerable number of works in all fields. The composer's style is also known for its spirituality, and the desire to associate theeverydaywith the magical, and the human with the universal. Jolivet draws on acoustics and atonality, as heard in Concerto No. 2 For Trumpet. The piece requires high, virtuosic skills due to its expansive use ofextended techniques. For all advanced trumpeters, Jolivet provides an exciting, different piece for the instrument's repertoire.
