Written as a companion piece with Border Dance (JB117), Stranger At My Door is written in memory of Peg Bowden, a resident of southern Arizona, who was active in groups assisting migrants by providing food, shelter, clothing and medical assistance. Peg's book Stranger At My Door chronicles her involvements with a migrant who appeared at her doorstep one Christmas Eve in desperate need. Composer Jack Stamp opens this tone poem with a rendition of O Little Town Of Bethlehem accompanied out of time by a haunting melody in the low winds. An original melody, Peg's Theme and the hymn tune Bera (The Hymn of the Good Samaritan from 1849) are first presented plainly, then interwoven in a rhythmic fantasia of fugato fragments. Peg's Theme returns in its fully-harmonized form and the work ends in peaceful introspection. Solos for Flute, Clarinet, Bassoon, and Bass Clarinet, as well as solis for trumpets and trombones are featured. Although Stranger At My Door incorporates a well known Christmas carol, it is appropriate for all seasons due to its timeless message of selflessness in the face of danger.

And now for something completely different! Who but William Himes would think of deconstructing and the reconstructing the birthday song into this amazingly creative overture? And, who else could do it so well? The cognitive and the affective domains are both in for a treat as you prepare this intriguing new work for performance. Be sure to hear the CD demo and look closely at the score. There are some amazing things going on here.Unexpected! Dit werk is geschreven in opdracht van de Palatine Concert Band uit Palatine in Illinois (VS), ter gelegenheid van het vijftigjarig bestaan in 2005. Zoals de titel al suggereert, is de muziek gebaseerd op een verborgen thema, datin veel subtiele verschijningen opduikt. Om de mijlpaal voor het orkest kracht bij te zetten creëerde de componist een vrolijke, feestelijke klank, ge nspireerd op een zeer bekende melodie. (De identiteit daarvan mag echter niet wordenprijsgegeven omdat zelfs de titel onder copyright valt. Laten we gewoon zeggen dat het een lied is dat vaak wordt gezongen bij de viering van een verjaardag.)Das ist wirklich einmal etwas ganz anderes! Wer au�er William Himes käme schon auf die verrückte Idee, das bekannte Lied Happy Birthday to You vollkommen auseinander zu nehmen und dann zu einer erstaunlich kreativen Ouvertüre neu zusammenzusetzen? Und das hört sich dann sogar richtig toll an! Schon das Einstudieren dieser überraschenden Ouvertüre macht einen Riesenspa�, der sich dann mit Sicherheit auch aufs Publikum überträgt.

This piece was written to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the Takayama Wind Orchestra, who also commissioned it. The historic city of Takayama draws numerous visitors from home and abroad, not just to see its well-preserved old houses and buildings but also because every year several historic processions take place, with beautiful floats. When these ride through the city, age-old melodies are heard played on wooden flutes, accompanied by muted drums. This image is evoked at the beginning of the work, followed by an archaic sounding melody in a typically Japanese pentatonic sequence, that develops throughout. In this challenging piece Eastern and Western influences alternate,creating a sensational and overwhelming musical effect! Dit werk is geschreven ter gelegenheid van het vijftigjarig bestaan van het Takayama Wind Orchestra, dat tevens de opdrachtgever was. De historische stad Takayama trekt jaarlijks talloze bezoekers uit binnen- en buitenland, niet alleen vanwege de goed bewaarde oude huizen en gebouwen die de stad rijk is, maar ook omdat er elk jaar een aantal historische optochten plaatsvinden. Wanneer die door de stad trekken, weerklinken eeuwenoude melodieën, gespeeld op houten fluiten en begeleid door doffe trommen. Dit beeld wordt opgeroepen aan het begin van het werk, gevolgd door een archa sch klinkende melodie in een typisch Japanse pentatonische tonenreeks, die zich in de loop van het werkverder zal ontwikkelen. In dit pittige werk wisselen oosterse en westerse invloeden elkaar af, met als resultaat een meeslepend en overweldigend muzikaal effect! Dieses Stück wurde aus Anlass des 50-jährigen Jubiläums des Takayama Wind Orchestra geschrieben, das dieses Werk auch in Auftrag gegeben hat. Die Altstadt von Takayama zieht jedes Jahr zahlreiche Besucher aus dem In- und Ausland an, nicht nur wegen der gut erhaltenen alten Häuser und Gebäude, sondern auch wegen der historischen Festumzüge, die dort stattfinden. Wenn diese durch die Stadt ziehen, erklingen uralte Melodien, die auf Holzflöten gespielt und von gedämpften Trommeln begleitet werden. Dieses Bild wird zu Beginn des Werks hervorgerufen, darauf folgt eine archaisch klingende Melodie mit einer typisch japanischen pentatonischen Sequenz, die sich im Laufe des Werkesweiterentwickelt. In diesem anspruchsvollen Werk wechseln sich östliche und westliche Einflüsse ab und erzeugen einen sensationellen und überwältigenden musikalischen Effekt! Cette Å?uvre a été commandée par le Takayama Wind Orchestra lâ??occasion de son 50e anniversaire. La ville historique de Takayama attire de nombreux visiteurs locaux et étrangers chaque année, non seulement gr ce aux maisons et b timents anciens bien conservés, mais aussi aux processions historiques qui y ont lieu. Lors de ces défilés, on entend des mélodies ancestrales jouées par des fl tes en bois et accompagnées de tambours en sourdine. Cette image est évoquée au début de lâ??Å?uvre, suivie dâ??une mélodie au son archa que basée sur une séquence pentatonique typiquement japonaise qui continue son développement tout au long de lâ??Å?uvre. Les influences orientales et occidentalessâ??alternent dans cette composition exigeante et créent ainsi un effet musical qui est sensationnel et extraordinaire ! Questo pezzo è stato scritto per celebrare il cinquantesimo anniversario della Takayama Wind Orchestra, che lo ha anche commissionato. La storica citt di Takayama attira numerosi visitatori anche all'estero, non solo per visitare le sue case storiche e gli edifici ben conservati, ma anche perché ogni anno si svolgono diverse processioni storiche, con bellissimi carri allegorici: Quando attraversano la citt , si sentono melodie secolari suonate su flauti di legno, accompagnate da tamburi.

This programmatic piece tells the biblical story of the fall of Jericho. The music paints a vivid picture of the procession of armed men and seven priests marching around the city for seven days, before blowing their trumpets and to the cheers of the crowds watching as the walls came tumbling down. A dazzling opening work for any concert. In Trumpets of Jericho staat het Bijbelse verhaal over Jericho centraal. Zes dagen trokken gewapenden en priesters met de Ark rond de stad, gevolgd door het volk der Israëlieten, terwijl de priesters op ramshorens bliezen.Op dag zeven trok de stoet zeven maal rond de stad - en toen de priesters bij de zevende maal op de horens bliezen, stortten de stadsmuren in. Dit arrangement begint met een kleine trom en suggereert een optocht vanuit de verte. Steedsmeer instrumenten sluiten zich aan. Het groot koper, de middengroep en het slagwerk stellen de Israëlieten voor. De trompetten verklanken de gewapenden en de priesters met hun ramshorens.Trumpets of Jericho ist ein programmatisches Stück über den Fall der Mauern von Jericho. Sieben Tage lang marschierte das Volk Israel schweigend um die Stadt herum, während die Priester in ihre Trompeten aus Widderhörnern bliesen, bis die Mauern schlieÃ?lich einstürzten. Mit kleinen Trommeln und den Bass-, Tenor- und Altinstrumenten für den schweigsamen Marsch sowie Kornetten für die Priester und Soldaten wird die spannende biblische Erzählung in diesem Stück lebendig.Trumpets of Jericho est une ?uvre programme du compositeur et tromboniste uruguayen Enrique Crespo (1941). Jéricho est, selon le récit biblique, la première ville du pays de Canaan conquise par Josué et les Hébreux vers 1200 avant J.-C. Le livre de Josué relate la prise de Jéricho et comment, le septième jour - après avoir fait le tour de la cité en silence une fois pendant six jours - les murailles de la ville s'effondrèrent par la simple volonté divine après la procession, sept fois autour de la cité, de l'arche d'Alliance et de sept prêtres sonnant sept chofars (trompettes). La version musicale du récit est dâ??une grande intensité : on entend la procession au loin(caisse claire). Conduits par Josué, les enfants dâ??Israël marchent vers Jéricho et commencent leur procession autour de la cité (cuivres graves, instruments des registres alto et ténor). Les cornets symbolisent les hommes armés et les sacrificateurs qui sonnaient des chofars.

The twofold title of this concert work is directly connected with the band who commissioned it. The â??Harmonie Municipale Grevenmacherâ?? from the town of the same name, by the river Moselle in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg was founded in the year1834. The name Machera is derived from the word machara, which in turn originated from maceries (old wall). Later, Machera evolved into Machern, Grafenmachern, and finally Grevenmacher.In 2009, this music society the third oldest still in existence in the country celebrated its 175th anniversary. And after all these years the society still flourishes! The dynamic committee, led by Georges May, fully supports and inspires themusical leader of the band, Claude Weiland, as well as his 60-strong ensemble. This well-functioning team took the initiative to ask Jan Van der Roost to write an anniversary composition, inspired, on the one hand, by the rural character ofGrevenmacher and its surroundings (where the famous Moselle wine growing dominates the countryside), and on the other hand, by the dynamics, creativity and joie de vivre the band exudes. All of this resulted in a twofold work with alternating peaceand excitement, virtuous and melodic features, orchestral splendour and soberly orchestrated passages. The première, on 10 January 2010, was conducted by the composer himself at a successful gala concert which brought a fine year full of musicalfestivities to a close. The â??Harmonie Municipale Grevenmacherâ?? faces the future with confidence, and will now prepare for its next milestone: the 200th anniversary!1834 - Machara Impressions was a commission for the 175th anniversary of the band Harmonie Municipale Grevenmacher from the town of Grevenmacher - formerly Machara - in Luxemburg. It is a work of many contrasts with alternating peace and excitement, virtuous and melodic features, orchestral splendour and soberly orchestrated passages - reflecting the peaceful and turbulent history of the band. Das zweiteilige Auftragswerk zum 175-jährigen Jubiläum der Harmonie Municipale Grevenmacher aus dem Dorf Grevenmacher - historisch Machara - in Luxemburg ist von Dynamik, Kreativität und Lebensfreude des Blasorchesters inspiriert. Friedliche und aufregende Zeiten spiegeln sich wechselweise in virtuosen und melodischen Eigenschaften, orchestraler Pracht und nu?chtern orchestrierten Passagen wider. Ein Thema fu?r jedes Blasorchester mit Tradition, umgesetzt in ein attraktives Werk von Jan Van der Roost.Cette oeuvre au double titre souligne le dynamisme de la formation dédicataire, lâ??Harmonie Municipale de Grevenmacher, fondée en 1834, tout en rappelant lâ??histoire de la ville de Grevenmacher (ancienn. Machera), située au bord de la Moselle luxembourgeoise. La toile alterne entre passages calmes et passages fougueux, composantes virtuoses et composantes mélodiques, splendeur orchestrale et sobriété de lâ??orchestration. Questo brano sottolinea ed elogia il dinamismo della Banda Municipale di Grevenmacher, fondata nel 1834, ricordando allo stesso tempo la storia di questa cittadina, situata in riva alla Mosella lussemburghese, il cui nome era nellâ??antichit Machera. Passaggi calmi si alternano armoniosamente a passaggi più vivaci, elementi virtuosi si mischiano a tratti melodici, mentre sul tutto aleggia uno splendore e una sobriet orchestrale fuori dal comune.

This is the composition that started it all! A classic of the wind band literature for concert and contest alike. It was something completely different, with its appearance in 1964. The bandâ??s literature had not experienced the trademark 7/8 measures, which we all know as a Smith trait. This composition also includes one of his few full band fugatos. Excellent percussion writing and a combination of all themes come together in a direct modulation to C Major. Originally titled Overture for Winds and Percussion, the word Emperata has no meaning; it was just, as Claude put it, an intriguing word! Still Smithâ??s best-selling work.

Inspired by the command and structure of two Henri Matisse paintings under the name The Music Lesson, this powerful work for alto saxophone and band will become a staple of the repertoire. From the strict structure of the opening piano statement to the classically influenced melodic interplay with the saxophone, the piece moves through a flowing musical environment highlighted by a virtuosic cadenza. The recapitulation of the initial melodic line completes our music lesson and provides a strong conclusion to Three Conversations With Matisse, a suite for alto saxophone and band.

A delightful three-movement work to show off the bandâ??s skill at playing different styles. The first movement marked Tarantella, includes an asymmetric 9/8 measure and a woodwind fugato. Nocturne features solos for flute, oboe and alto saxophone. Rondo begins with a fierce percussion section soli throughout the movement, and a reflection of developmental material from the Nocturne shows up in this movement as well. A challenging work, but your group will learn several musical concepts. A concert band classic.
