From Four Original Warm-Ups For Band-Riche de mon expérience de chef dorchestre et de membre de jury jai remarqué que nombre dorchestres rencontraient des problèmes typiques dinterprétation : manque de maîtrise du timbre difficultés dintonation articulation non contrôlée et phrasé insuffisant. Sexercer dans ces domaines nest pas chose aisée pour un orchestre et il existe peu de matériel qui soit également agréable à jouer.« Four Original Warm-Ups » est donc avant tout destiné à remédier à ce manque sous forme de quatre morceaux dentraînement agréables. Chaque morceau traite dun des éléments mentionnés ci-dessus sans que la musique nen devienne pour autant ennuyeuse.3e partie : Articulation TrainToutes lesfacettes de larticulation sont mises en lumière au cours de ce trajet en train. Laccélération progressive suggère non seulement le train qui roule de plus en plus vite mais permet également de sexercer au jeu en staccato. Avant le concert vous pouvez éventuellement déguiser un enfant ou un musicien en mécanicien et le faire siffler pour faire partir le train. Un véritable sifflet de chef de gare vous mettra encore plus dans lambiance. Cette partie peut également ?tre utilisée comme morceau de rappel lors dun concert.Il nest pas nécessaire denchaîner ces quatre parties à la suite bien que ce soit possible. Chaque partie peut ?tre utilisée indépendamment pour une répétition ou un concert. Jespère sincèrement que ces quatre parties contribueront à lamélioration du niveau de nombreux orchestres sans pour autant gâcher le plaisir de jouer !

Evocative train sounds allow listeners' own trains of thought to wander freely, in this emotionally captivating electroacoustic tone poem. As with other signature Shapiro works like Immersion and Liquid Compass, an expansive palette of shifting textures and density creates striking, unexpected contrasts. A remarkably seamless wash of acoustic and digital sounds offers new meaning to the term prerecorded track, as the piece picks up steam and arrives at a forceful, abrupt end. To perform the piece, you'll need an audio system capable of playing the prerecorded audio tracks from a laptop computer via a small digital audio interface connected to an audio mixer. Download information is provided in the score. Dur: 7:15

What a great combination - a locomotive chugging out of the station gradually gaining speed and the great American 12-bar blues form. This fun piece is loaded with special effects including a second percussion part with anvil triangle and suspended cymbal to simulate the sound of the train. The band adds a shhh to help generate more steam and excitement. A great crowd-pleaser!

Par BOULESTREAU GEORGES. Ce train fut, paraît-il en retard? Mais la musique endiablée de cette pièce montrerait qu?il a sans doute rapidement rattrapé le temps perdu ! Commençant par un prélude déclamé par deux clarinettes, le train démarre effectivement très lentement puis accélère Vivace et emporte avec lui les voyageurs dans un tourbillon sans fin.

Les nouveaux trains parcourent maintenant cette portion à plus de 220 km/h. La musique de New Ways reflète l?ambiance des voyages en train d?autrefois et ceux d?aujourd?hui. Le son des manoeuvres du siècle dernier fait place à des sons contemporains illustrant vitesse énergie et mobilité. La pièce est divisée en deux parties quelques secondes de silence entre les deux séparant le passé du présent - un tableau musical des New Ways (Nouvelles directions). Joli contraste !
