Right from Toto’s foundation in 1977, the band grew into a living legend, not only because of international superhits, but also because of the ongoing urge of its members to develop their special musical style - a mix of rock and a more symphonic sound. This arrangement binds adaptations of Africa, Rosanna and Stop Loving You into a glorious whole, reminding us of those glory days of Toto hits. De band Toto, die werd opgericht in 1977, scoorde internationale superhits met een bijzondere mix van rock en een meer symfonische sound. In de jaren 1982 en 1983 kon je de radio niet aanzetten of je hoorde de klanken van Rosannaof Africa. Klaas van der Woude maakte een arrangement waarin hij deze beide nummers en Stop Loving You verwerkte tot een meeslepend geheel.Die Popmusik der 80er-Jahre erlebt derzeit ein großes Revival. Viele Hits von damals werden erfolgreich neu aufgelegt und kommen bei Alt und Jung gleichermaßen gut an. Die drei Tophits der kalifornischen Popgruppe Toto, für Blasorchester eingerichtet von Klaas van der Woude, liegen also voll im Trend!

The Eastman Wind Ensemble is America's leading wind ensemble. Frederick Fennell first formulated the general concept of the wind ensemble at Eastman nearly 65 years ago. Under his leadership the group became known as the pioneering force in the wind ensemble movement in the United States and abroad. A. Clyde Roller served as conductor between 1962 and 1964, continuing the tradition established by Fennell. Donald Hunsberger became conductor in 1965 and led the ensemble for 37 years to international prominence. The ensemble's current director, Mark Davis Scatterday, was introduced as the fourth conductor of this prestigious group during the EWE's 50th anniversary celebration on February 8, 2002. Since its founding, the EWE has been the leader in elevating the wind repertory through recordings. Fennell's Mercury Recordings albums of the 1950s and early '60s are notable for their pioneering use of binaural, stereo, and 35mm recording techniques. These Living Presence recordings focused on standard band literature by the most respected classical composers -- heard for the first time in the newly balanced one-per-part instrumentation. They also centered on major repertory not found on traditional band programs, such as Mozart's Serenade in B-flat (the Gran Partita), Messiaen's Et exspecto resurrectionem mortuorum, and Stravinsky's Symphonies of Wind Instruments. Under Hunsberger, the EWE continued its progressive stance in recording techniques with participation in quadraphonic and digital recording. Since its founding, the ensemble has premiered more than 200 new works. The EWE and Mark Scatterday have continued this rich recording tradition with several CDs starting in 2005 with Danzante (featuring trumpet virtuosi James Thompson) on Summit Records.

This three-movement symphony musically depicts the history of Hungary. Key historical figures, wars and other important events from this country inspired all three movements. The first movement depicts Atilla, the King of the Huns, and is characterised by fear, threat and aggression. The second movement focuses on Ãrpád, the founder of the Hungarian State and the final movement is named after István, the King who introduced Christianity into Hungary. The beautiful theme of the national hymn appears throughout the symphony, however it is often partially hidden. It is used as a â??thread,â? hardly recognizable at the beginning, becoming more and more obvious near the end and itconcludes the symphony as the â??final apotheosis,â? making the band sound like a majestic living organ.

Roger Zare is living every young composer's dream. At a tender age, he has already been lauded by the best, and his compositions continue to earn awards. Green Flash, his first publication with Theodore Presser Company, was written in 2007 for the USC Thornton Symphony, received a BMI Student Composer award in 2007, was chosen to be read at the 2008 American Composers Orchestra Underwood New Music Readings, won the ASCAP Rudolf Nissim Prize in 2009, and has now won the 2012 Symphony in C Young Composers' Competition. For more about Green Flash and a YouTube video of the premiere performance, see the composer's website (www.rogerzare.com/greenflash.htm).A “green flash†is a rare atmospheric phenomenon that occurs as a sunset reaches its end. If conditions are just right, then a spark of green will hover on the horizon for a fleeting moment as the sun disappears. I first witnessed this subtle effect in Florida in 2005. Seeing the mythical event for the first time inspiredthis composition. Green Flash is a musical journey from daybreak to sunset. It focuses on the manipulation of colors and textures throughout its five sections. The musical events are designed to paint a picture of various scenes during the day. The piece begins with the heartbeat of the world emerging from the silentdarkness of the night. As night transitions to dawn, waves of color propagate from the repeating low C, building up through the harmonic series to become the vibrant colors of sunrise. Eventually all twelve notes of the chromatic scale are sounding together. Abruptly, a morning fog engulfs the scene. Out of the mist rises the only melodic theme in the work, played by a solo English horn, and later taken up by other solo winds. Once the fog dissipates, the sky fills with the playful dance of wispy cirrus clouds. A rainbow-like halo surrounds the sun, adding a burst of color to the scene. This carefree, optimistic cloud dance is invaded by a menacing front of cumulonimbus clouds. A storm rages at a frantic pace, but in its dying breath yields the most glorious of sunsets. Only as the last glint of sunlight disappears below the horizon, a faint sparkle of green lingers in the atmosphere.

The French-speaking Flemish singer, composer and lyricist Jacques Brel was born in Brussels in 1929. In the 1950s, he broke away from his bourgeois social background of his family and started an artist’s life in Paris, where he initially wrote chansons and earned a living by performing in small cabarets and bars. Over the following years he achieved worldwide fame with his chansons, which were alternately harsh and melancholic Roland Kernen has selected a number of the wonderful chansons written by this most creative artist to produce this unforgettable chanson medley.De Franstalige Vlaamse zanger, componist en tekstschrijver Jacques Brel (1929-1978) spreekt ook vandaag de dag nog tot de verbeelding en zijn muziek is nog altijd geliefd. In zijn Brel-medley voor harmonieorkest verwerkte RolandKernen een aantal van de prachtige chansons die deze onvergetelijke artiest schreef: Vesoul, Amsterdam, Ne me quitte pas (Laat me niet alleen) en La valse mille temps.Mit seinen Chansons, die mal barsche, mal melancholische Töne aufweisen, erlangte der flämische Sänger, Komponist und Lyriker Jacques Brel in den fünfziger und sechziger Jahren des vergangenen Jahrhunderts Weltruhm. Auch weit über seinen Tod im Jahr 1978 hinaus kennt und liebt die Welt seine Lieder. In seinem Medley für Blasorchester verarbeitete Roland Kernen einige der wundervollen Chansons dieses unvergessenen Künstlers. Auteur, compositeur, chanteur, acteur, cinéaste mais avant tout poète, Jacques Brel (1929-1978) a magnifié la chanson française.Par la justesse de ses textes, par son talent d’interprétation, cet artiste - obsédé par la mort et amoureux de la vie - a su trouver les mots qui, génération après génération, continuent de nous toucher. Près de trente ans après sa mort, sa voix, sa désespérance et sa rage résonnent toujours en nous. Autore, compositore, cantante, attore, cineasta ma soprattutto poeta, Jacques Brel (1929-1978) ha rappresentato magnificamente la canzone francese. Con i suoi testi, il suo talento di interpretazione, questo artista - ossesso dalla morte e innamorato della vita - ha saputo trovare le parole che continuano a commuoverci anche trent’anni dopo la sua morte.

Johann Wanhal (Vanhal) was an important classical composer from Bohemian/Czech heritage (1739-1813). His main living was as an organist and choirmaster, however Wanhal's musical output as a composer includes over a dozen concerti, many symphonies, chamber music, operas and much sacred music including 58 masses. Wanhal is rumored to have played chamber music with Mozart, Haydn and Dittersdorf, with Wanhal on the cello. In the 1770's Wanhal met the contrabassist Johannes Matthias Sperger and wrote a double bass concerto for him. The Concerto is in the key of E-Flat (original key of D for the double bass) in three movements and has been expertly arranged for Tuba and classical wind ensemble by Ms. Janet Yarbrough of Duke University. This work will also be available soon with a piano reduction.
