New Emerald Ensemble CDs
featuring the music of composers Christopher Ball and Keith Amos

Christopher Ball's music is written in a style that makes it immediately appealing to a wide range of music lovers. It is energetic and extrovert in nature, but endowed with atmospheric moments of magical quiet tenderness. The main works on this disc are the two new concertos, which are brilliantly performed by the dedicatees, Leslie Craven and Adam Walker. The Emerald Concert Orchestra produces a rich warm sound, providing the perfect accompaniment and support for the solo wind instruments.

Concerto for Clarinet and Strings
Four Dances for Wind Trio
Concerto for Flute and Orchestra
Irish Suite

Lupin the Pot-Bellied Pig for Narrator & Wind Quintet. Includes 13 instrumental excerpts from other narrated works for symphony orchestra. The Steadfast Tin Soldier & "Bah, Humbug!" based on HC Andersen's and Charles Dickens' stories. Beautifully written and orchestrated, a good introduction to the world of classical music for children and adults.
