This reworked edition of the Folksong Suite by Antal Farkas will help to widen the repertoire of youth ensembles and adult amateur orchestras. The composer's son, Tamas Farkas has supplemented the score of the work, adding symphonic wind ensemble parts, and has in a number of places reworked it slightly in accordance with present-day requirements. 'I recommend this work to any orchestra active anywhere in the world. The piece provides an enjoyable experience, helps in correcting faulty intonation, in interpreting various musical styles, in fostering a homogeneous sound, in developing technique and ensemble playing, and it is certain of a favourable response from audiences. I hope every musician will find pleasure in it!' (Jozsef Csikota, president of the East European section of the World Association for Symphonic Bands and Ensembles.)

Goetheâ??s Faust has already been set to music by various renowned musicians, such as Berlioz, Busoni and Spohr, and indeed Charles Gounod, who built his eponymous opera around the tale. Gounodâ??s Faust is primarily known for its lovely melodies and its beautifully expressive vocal parts and subtle orchestrations. One of the high points of this opera is doubtless this impressive Cavatina (â??Salut, demeure chaste et pureâ?). Wil van der Beek has arranged the Cavatina with the euphonium as solo instrument.

Goethes Faust is in het verleden al door verschillende componisten - waaronder Berlioz en Spohr - op muziek gezet. Ook Charles Gounod gebruikte Faust voor zijn gelijknamige opera. Zijn versie staat bol van prachtige melodieën en uiterst expressieve zangpartijen in een gera_x001C_ffineerde orkestratie. Een van deze hoogtepunten is zeker zijn Cavatina (â??Salut, demeure chaste et pureâ?), in deze versie van Wil van der Beek bewerkt voor euphonium en orkest.

Goethes Faust wurde schon mehrfach von namhaften Komponisten vertont - darunter Berlioz, Busoni, Spohr und eben auch Charles Gounod, der aus dem Stoff_x001F_ die gleichnamige Oper komponierte. Sein Faust ist vor allem fu?r herrliche Melodien sowie schöne, ausdrucksvolle Vokalpartien und feinsinnige Orchestrierungen bekannt. Einer der Höhepunkte dieser Oper ist zweifellos diese eindrucksvolle Cavatina (Salut, demeure chaste et pureâ??). Wil van der Beek wählte fu?r seine Bearbeitung das Euphonium als Soloinstrument.

Faust, de Goethe a été plusieurs fois mis en musique par des compositeurs célèbres - dont Berlioz, Busoni et Spohr. En sâ??inspirant de la pièce de Goethe, Charles Gounod composa un opéra connu pour ses belles mélodies, ses chants expressifs et ses orchestrations subtiles. Un des points forts de cet opéra est sans aucun doute cette impressionnante Cavatine intitulée Salut ! Demeure chaste et pure. Wil van der Beek a choisi, pour son arrangement, de confi_x001C_er la partie solo lâ??euphonium. Un choix judicieux, qui placera votre soliste sous les feux de la rampe gr ce cette cavatine vibrante dâ??émotion et de sensibilité.

Il Faust di Goethe fu più volte messo in musica da compositori famosi quali Berlioz, Busoni, Spohr e Charles Gounod che compose lâ??opera omonima. Il suo Faust è noto per le belle melodie, le parti vocali particolarmente espressive e la ra_x001F_nata orchestrazione. Uno dei punti di forza di questa opera è senza dubbio lâ??imponente Cavatina (Salut, demeure chaste et pure). Wil van der Beek ha scelto di arrangiare la sua Cavatina per eufonio solo e banda.

This cycle of orchestral songs sets four poems from an early collection by Rilke entitled Das Stundenbuch, or in English, Book of Hours. Although the title refers to a medieval book of prayers for the various times of day and seasons of the liturgical year, Rilke's texts occupy a position some distance from conventional piety. There is a melancholy to the spirituality expressed here, which speaks of an experience of God that is fragmentary, imperfect, and unattainable. The solitude evoked in the second song (as layers of busy activity are gradually peeled away) offers some solace, but the third song is very dark and fierce, filled with a desperate, even manic desire for God. The last song returns to the mood of the first, but now in a global rather than individual context. This song, like the set as a whole, speaks of our world's brokenness, yet strives to stammer fragments of God's name.

This exciting work was conceived as a musical portrait from the viewpoint of a lone ancient warrior, determined and focused on achieving victory in battle. Providing a foundation throughout is a relentless rhythmic pulse and driving ostinato. The meter of 7/8 provides a dramatic sense of urgency as various textures and moods are developed similar to the ebb and flow of battle. The piece concludes with a victorious major chord with the rhythmic ostinato driving to the very end.
