The idea behind The Groove Makers is that all musicians, regardless of training or musical taste, can play together if they all keep the same ‘groove.’ This inspired Peter Kleine Schaars to write a piece everyone would enjoy and to give the concert band a trendy ‘groove’ that the audience can really connect with.

Die Idee hinter The Groove Makers sind Musiker, die - unabhängig vom Musikstil - alle im selben Groove“ spielen und gemeinsam das Entstehen einer gemeinsamen Erfahrung erleben. Alles arbeitet auf ein gemeinsames Ziel hin: das Blasorchester grooven“ zu lassen, um das Publikum mitzureißen. Diese Version von The Groove Makers ist eine ausgewogene Zusammenstellung von Höhepunkten aus dem originalen neunminütigen Pflichtstück.

The Groove Makers è un brano commissionato in occasione del 2° Festival svizzero di musica da intrattenimento (2008). L’idea era di raggruppare tutti i musicisti sotto un “groove” inteso come stile musicale da suonare insieme. The Groove Makers è quindi una creazione che privilegia suonare insieme. Lo sviluppo del brano è ideale per raggiungere l’obiettivo prefisso: un buon “groove” per incantare il pubblico.

The Book of Urizen is a work for concert band, solo soprano, and a male narrator in which sound collages of religious expressions are used. The piece is inspired by the compelling visionary poem of the same name (which the poet illustratedhimself) by the Englishman William Blake (1757-1827), who occupies a unique position in western literature and the visual arts. He was not just a poet and a writer, but he was also a graphic artist, a painter, an illustrator, a spiritualist, areligious visionary, and a mystic philosopher. For the performance of this work, a professional sound system, including two microphones and a CD player, is needed. The three sound collages are three separate tracks on the enclosed CD and can beplayed easily at the right moment. The Book of Urizen bears resemblance to Genesis and Exodus, of which the contents form the basis of the Christian, Jewish, and Islamic faith. Blake adhered to the principle that all religions are in fact one,and that deities reside in human beings. In The Book of Urizen this is represented in “The Net of Religion,” which is spanned over the earth by Urizen. The sound collages, compiled by Jacob de Haan in the studio, find their origin inJerusalem, the Holy City, where the afore-mentioned faiths “come together.” In the first movement of this composition, The Vision, Urizen prepares his vision of the world, and he presents this to the “Eternals.” His vision is rejected,and Urizen locks himself up in his own abstract world. When he does emerge again, he is confronted with rage by the gathered Eternals. Urizen flees the wrath of the Eternals, “the flames of eternal fury,” and enwombs himself in his own world. Whenthe Eternals see Urizen in his “stony sleep,” they wonder if this is death. The blacksmith Los is torn by grief because of the isolation of Urizen. It brings him to rouse his fires, prepare his forge, and to give Urizen’s world concrete form. In thesecond movement, The Creation, Urizen’s world, but also man, woman, and child are created. Los is horrified with the appearance of Urizen’s body. He mourns and pities Urizen, and from his blood a female form comes into being, with thename Enitharmon. The Eternals, fearful of the female form, decide to erect a tent to obstruct their view to eternity. Enitharmon and Los beget a son, called Orc. Los baptizes him as a child of the “fallen world.” Orc is fed at Enitharmon’s breast,which makes a girdle of jealousy restrict Los’ chest. He takes the child to the top of the mountain and chains him down. The cries of Orc awaken Urizen, who explores his world creating instruments of scientific measurement to do so. Los encircles theface of Enitharmon from the sight of Urizen and Orc. She then populates the earth by giving birth to an enormous race.The Web, third movement of The Book of Urizen is now available: DHP 1125252

Promoting positive body image in the lyric, with a catchy melody and an infectious grove, this pop tune definitely has a bit of a '50s and '60s doo-wop feel that makes it refreshing. With its throwback soul beat, its body-positive message couched in a cute musical metaphor, and its dance-filled, candy-colored video, it's become a straight-up pop phenomenon loved by today's pop culture. A very playable arrangement with a fresh touch! (1:45).

The energetic activities of three craftsmen at a local crafts market inspired the composer Christian Bouthier to write this work in three movements. The clockmaker gets many curious visitors at his stand. He patiently and proudly shows the precision work of his beautiful clocks and lets all of them tick - the small ones and large ones. The cooper (barrel-maker) skillfully puts together fine-looking, sturdy barrels of the best types of wood. From afar, you can hear the cooper hammering. In the final movement things are hectic at the blacksmith because the local horse-riding society has just arrived. Many horses are provided with new shoes. The experienced blacksmith hits thehorseshoes into the proper shape on his anvil; now the horses can spiritedly trot and gallop on the way back. A fascinating new addition to the concert band repertoire.

De energieke werkzaamheden van drie ambachtslieden op een plaatselijke ambachtsmarkt inspireerden de Belgische componist Christian Bouthier tot het schrijven van The Craftsmen, een compositie in drie delen. De klokkenmaker,de kuiper (tonnenmaker) en de hoefsmid worden achtereenvolgens op ludieke wijze in de muziek weergegeven.

Zu The Craftsmen - ‘Die Handwerker’ - ließ sich Christian Bouthier beim Bummel über einen Markt inspirieren, wo alte Handwerkskünste vorgeführt wurden. In den drei Sätzen seiner Komposition werden sehr anschaulich die Klangeindrücke in Musik umgesetzt: das Ticken nostalgischer Uhren beim Uhrmacher, das Hämmern des Böttchers beim Bau von Holzfässern und schließlich das Schlagen der Hufeisen, bevor der Hufschmied die Pferde beschlägt. Ein Werk der Reihe Flexible 5 für eine fünfstimmig variable Besetzung, an dem Musiker und Publikum ihre Freude haben werden!

Séduit par l’authenticité et le charme d’un marché artisanal, Christian Bouthier s’est inspiré du savoir-faire de trois artisans pour composer cette suite en trois mouvements. l’ombre des platanes, ils font et refont devant un public nombreux et passionné, ces gestes ancestraux qui donnent naissance tant de belles choses. Découvrez les traditions perpétuées par l’artisan horloger, le tonnelier et le maréchal-ferrant.

Affascinato dall’originalit e dallo charme di un mercato di artigiani, per comporre questa suite in tre movimenti, Christian Bouthier si è ispirato al “savoir-faire” di tre artigiani.
