{"product_id":"9780571561605","title":"Winds Of Power","description":"Unlike Nigel Hess's other works for wind band, The Winds of Power is not a programmatic work. After a dark and menacing opening a solo trumpet introduces a theme which will eventually become the centre of a piece and is soon heard tutti in a lyrical form. This is interrupted by a return to the opening mood, with only a brief respite in the form of a chorale for clarinet choir and harp. The theme tries to return once more in a rousing, somewhat cinematic version, but again the sense of foreboding overtakes it. An unsettling march-like section follows before the theme returns in its most lyrical and gentle guise, introduced by solos in the woodwind section. Eventually, a maestoso statement which erupts into a presto coda, ends the journey in a triumphant, more optimistic blaze of sound.","brand":"Nigel Hess","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45785545638206,"sku":"9780571561605","price":0.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4357\/7662\/products\/9780571561605_7f884fff-998d-4f34-97e0-98632ee46b3c.jpg?v=1707295636","url":"https:\/\/exclusivebooks.co.za\/products\/9780571561605","provider":"Exclusive Books Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
