Ralph Vaughan Williams' (1872-1958) English Folk Songs Suite, IRV 16, consists of three movements, the first two of which are based on the folk songs Seventeen Come Sunday and My Bonny Boy; the third adapts four songs from the Somerset region collected by Cecil Sharp. The English Folk Songs Suite quotes the Christmas carol Dives and Lazarus, which Vaughan Williams later published five variations of for harp and string orchestra. Gordon Jacob, a student of Vaughan Williams, arranged this version for orchestra. An earlier version of the English Folk Songs Suite, written for military band, premiered at Kneller Hall in Twickenham, England in July 1923. Instrumentation: 2(2nd dPicc).1.2.1: 2.2.2.0: Timp:Perc(2-3): Str(9.8.7.6.5 in set). Reprint edition.

In 1880, Edvard Grieg composed twelve song poems by Aasmund Olavsson Vinje. He arranged two of these songs for String Orchestra published under the title of Two Elegiac Melodies, Op. 34. These two deeply meloncholy pieces were titled The Wounded Heart and Last Spring. The latter of these two titles inspired Tohru Takahashi to produce this expressive and sensitive transcription for Concert Band, which will make a fantastic encore piece for any concert.

Last Spring komt uit de Two Elegiac Melodies for String Orchestra, opus 34. Deze muziek, gecomponeerd in 1880, is oorspronkelijk geschreven voor twee liederen uit Grieg's album opus 33: The Wounded Heart en Spring.De laatste van deze twee titels inspireerde Tohru Takahashi tot het maken van een prachtige transcriptie die heel geschikt is als toegift. Met hart en ziel gespeeld zal deze muziek uw beslist raken.

Edvard Grieg komponierte Zwölf Lieder zu Gedichten von Aasmund Olavsson Vinje. Zwei dieser Lieder arrangierte er für Streichorchester unter dem Titel Zwei elegische Melodien. Diese Lieder heißen The Wounded Heart (Der Verwundete) und The Last Spring (Letzter Frühling). Letzteres inspirierte Tohru Takahashi zu einer emotionalen Transkription, die mehr Musikverständnis als technische Fertigkeiten verlangt und sich hervorragend als Zugabenummer eignet.

En 1880, Edvard Grieg achève ses Douze mélodies sur des poèmes d’Aasmund Olavsson, Op. 33. Par la suite, il réalise une version pour Orchestre Cordes de deux mélodies extraites de ce cycle, et les publie sous le titre de Deux mélodies élégiaques, Op. 34. Il s’agit de deux pièces profondément mélancoliques, comme l’annoncent les sous-titres : Coeur blessé et Dernier printemps. Tohru Takahashi a réalisé une superbe transcription de la seconde mélodie, expressive et pleine de sensibilité (Dernier printemps/Last Spring).

This music was originally written for string orchestra. In this band version, the key has been changed to Bb major from A major. In my opinion, the music sounds gentler in Bb major. I like to see images that reflect on the water. In this piece you will find the same situation between the melodies in the different parts. Please look carefully at each part and try to find the reflections. Enjoy the dialogue of the phrases.  .

A short, melting example of why the music of Jules Massenet was so respected and admired in his native France during his lifetime. The Last Sleep of the Virgin is from the oratorio La Viege and was originally for string orchestra. This masterful arrangement will provide a delightful moment of quiet beauty on your program.

Nestling within the pages of La Viege, an Oratorio written in 1880 but with no evidence of a full performance, is to be found The Last Sleep of the Virgin, a short melting example of why the music of Jules Massenet (1842-1912) was so highly respected and admired in his native France during his lifetime. Massenet composed more than 40 operas, including Herodiade, Manon, Le Cid, and Thais, and his influence on French music was monumental. The Last Sleep of the Virgin was originally scored for string orchestra. This arrangement for woodwind and brass offers the opportunity for this gentle music to be heard in a different hue, whilst keeping its inherent beauty for the satisfaction of those performing it and sharing the experience as listeners.

An exceptional band piece that utilizes music John wrote especially for the PBS production of Within These Walls, which showcases the history of our Presidential residence during its 200th year. Originally scored and recorded by the U.S. Marine Band with strings, John later arranged the music for band only and it will be performed by the Marine Band on tour. This published arrangement is slightly simplified and shortened from that version. Sections of the piece represent various important time periods in the history of The White House. The very nature of this time capsule approach makes this number a wonderful tool for teaching musical style concepts. Challenging!
