📀💿 Recorded on: “POP SELECTION FOR CONCERT BAND”, The Slovenian Police Band, Peter Kleine Schaars 

In 1975, a new dance form took the Latin-Amercan areas of the Bronx by storm. After observing the frenzy of the dancers in that area, Van McCoy composed a melody that successfully took its basis from Latin and R&B. The Hustle was an instant success and made a large contribution to the evolution of disco music in the 1970's. Your band will not be able to resist the fantastic groove and drive of this evergreen disco hit, fantastically arranged by Lorenzo Bocci.

The Hustle (Van McCoy) - arranged by Lorenzo Bocci

Templars 1959
Guardians of the Cross
'TEMPLARS 1959, Guardians of the Cross' is an epic march that transports us into the mystical world of the Knights Templar and the sacred city of Caravaca de la Cruz, Spain. In this revered place, a fragment of the True Cross is enshrined within its iconic double-armed cross, forging a profound bond with the legendary Order.

The Templars—both monks and warriors—stood as tireless protectors. Their dual nature, devout and combative, echoes through every measure of the composition, like a resonant shield guarding relics and pilgrims alike. The piece embodies the very essence of the 'Guardians of the Cross. '

Through vibrant melodies and immersive soundscapes, the music transports performers and listeners to another era. It is a sonic journey that conjures ancient landscapes and heroic tales, blending diverse styles and languages to unfold a grand narrative worthy of the knights and their enduring legend.

At its core, this work is a musical tribute to an age of mystery, legendary battles, and deep devotion. It invites us to experience the history and mystique that surround both the Knights Templar and the Holy City they are forever linked to.

Vals de l'A Fandanga
'Vals de l’A Fandanga' is a Peruvian-style waltz. Like their European counterparts, Latin American waltzes are meant for dancing, but they are typically performed in more folk and popular settings. As a result, they incorporate many musical elements characteristic of Latin American music.  This piece brings all of these influences together in a harmonious soundscape, woven with a beautiful melody and syncopated rhythms.

The composition was written for and dedicated to the 'Banda Harmonia Mosteirense, ' also known as 'A Fandanga. '

Brazilian Romance
The first idea of this work was composed for playing at my japanese friends' wedding party in 2015. The idea was used almost as-is for the ballad part. The first melody was written for the bride, a tenor saxophonist, and counter melody comes out after for the groom, an oboist. After ballad part, Bossa Nova part comes up next. The first melody in this part was a stretch of the bride's melody. I dedicate this work to my friends Sayako and Hiroki.

Where the Elves Live
Iceland - the land of elves and trolls - can amaze travelers with its impressive and diverse landscapes. This work opens majestically to reflect the rugged mountainous landscapes of the island. A large part of the country is also formed by sweeping regions with vast meadows covered with flowers. Perhaps a visitor of Iceland might be even able to witness the elves teasing one or two trolls.
