As a trumpet player André Waignein has composed many pieces for this instrument; extremely electrifying pieces meant for young trumpet-players and more demanding works for professionals.With his rhapsody André Waignein wanted to compose a piece in which spontaneity dominates and in which the virtuosity sonority and style of the soloist is featured to its maximum. Although the piece is not one of the most difficult it nevertheless places high musical demands on the soloist. Following an impressive orchestral opening the soloist comes to the fore with long phrases followed by more dynamic and rhythmic passages. The second movement gives evidence of extreme sensitivity andoffers the soloist the opportunity to prove that the trumpet (flugel horn) can be a stirring and emotional instrument. The third movement is the most spectacular. The orchestra actively participates with increasingly delicate interventions. The soloist can display all the possibilities offered to him by his instrument. With a long sostenuto on the trumpet (flugel horn) the beautiful rhapsody ends.

In composing Firework Jan Van der Roost has once again succeeded in creating another spectacular intro following on Flashing Winds and Signature. In just over a minute the composer shows the band off in a powerfull and virtuose manner.

The Ring of Fire describes the battle between two rival tribes for control of an area on a musical way. The goal is to achieve the magic Ring of Fire! A bright and spectacular composition for the lower sections!

In the tripartite 'Cowboy Suite' Alan Laken takes us to the Wild West the domain of cowboys indians trappers and other fortune hunters. Around 1890 the west coast of America was reached which in effect meant the end of the Wild West. Its stories however survived and have been a source of inspiration for many books films and of course music. Some characters such as Jesse James Billy the Kid and Buffalo Bill are forever linked to these tales. In the 'Cowboy Suite' we first hear the 'Hoedown'. At the end of an exhausting workday the labourers used to lay down their tools among others the 'hoes' and spontaneously began to play music on the instruments which they then possessed (guitars fiddles and banjos) and to dance. After being jolted on the 'Wagon Trail' we reach the third part the 'Cowboy Roundup'. In this last part it becomes clear that as a cattle driver it is imperative to stay firmly seated in the saddle. As the cattle are rounded up i.e. driven together spectacular things happen.

The source of inspiration for the composer was the nuclear disaster in Chernobyl in Russia. The first movement Ostinato expresses desperation helplessness fear and anger. The themes from the first movement are further exposed in the second movement Fantasia which has a spectacular finale.
