Duration 6 minutes, 44 seconds. Opus III Wind Orchestra Publications #012-3418-75. Published by Opus III Wind Orchestra Publications (CL.012-3418-75).

An exciting and impressive composition that portrays an epic struggle in the distant past between the forces of good and evil. A wizard, a beautiful exotic maiden, a battle, and our hero are woven in the fabric of this musical tale. Sprightly melodies, lively rhythms and tasty writing for a whole battalion of percussionists produce an opening section which is full of energy and vitality. The flowing adagio section features a nice oboe solo (cued in clarinet) and a horn section soli (cued in saxes) that really make this piece special. A superior choice for any concert or contest performance.

Fanfare for Tokyo is a flamboyant and extrovert concert opener designed to celebrate the virtuosic character of the talented Tokyo Wind Symphony Orchestra. A central theme over persistent percussion is first given by bassoons and taken up by the full ensemble. Either side of this horns and euphoniums lead an acrobatic fanfare under woodwind flourishes.

Fanfare for Tokyo is een uitbundig en extravert openingswerk. Het centrale thema, dat zich ontvouwt over aanhoudend slagwerk, verschijnt eerst in de fagotten en wordt dan overgenomen door het complete orkest. Daaromheen voeren de hoorns eneuphoniums een acrobatische fanfare uit, waarboven de houtinstrumenten fraaie versieringen spelen.

Fanfare for Tokyo ist ein schillerndes, extrovertiertes Eroffnungswerk. Das zentrale Thema, das sich uber dem durchlaufenden Schlagwerk entfaltet, erscheint erst in den Fagotten und wird dann vom gesamten Orchester aufgenommen. Darum herumspielen die Horner und Euphonien eine akrobatische Fanfare und die Holzblaser davor schone Verzierungen.

Parfaite pour ouvrir un concert, Fanfare for Tokyo est une piece exuberante et extravertie dont le theme central soutenu par une percussion tenace est introduit par les hautbois pour etre ensuite repris par l'orchestre entier. De part etd'autre de ce theme, les cors et les euphoniums exposent une fanfare acrobatique enrichie d'ornements interpretes les bois. Une piece qui permettra d'introduire chacun des pupitres de votre orchestre !

Perfetto per iniziare un concerto, Fanfare for Toyko e un brano esuberante e brioso il cui tema principale, sostenuto da una tenace percussione, e introdotto dagli oboi per poi essere ripreso dall'intero organico. Una fanfara, arricchita daabbellimenti interpretati dai legni, e esposta dai corni e dagli eufoni. Un brano che consente di mettere in luce ogni sezione della banda!

Score and Parts. Composed by Franco Cesarini. Arranged by Franco Cesarini. Editions Franco Cesarini. Concert Band, Tuning, Warm-Up. Softcover. Hal Leonard #EFC003-CBHA. Published by Hal Leonard (HL.4008643).

During his experience as a band conductor and teacher of wind orchestra conducting at university, Franco Cesarini has dealt with the topic of warm-ups very frequently. Throughout these long years of conducting he has had the opportunity to try many existing methods, evaluating their advantages and disadvantages. After a long time, he has decided to compile a collection of chorales for warm-ups, which are organized according to the criteria that he considers most effective. While working on his60 Warm-up Chorales for Concert Band, Franco Cesarini has always borne in mind that amateur musicians play for pleasure. He feels that it is extremely important that they have satisfaction at every moment of the rehearsal and not to start the rehearsal with needless “punishing” exercises. Nobody is really motivated to start playing with scales, long notes, or tricky rhythmical exercises. There is often a distinguished absentee in band rehearsals, namely music itself! Although this publication does not foresee a specific tempo for the chorales, they should often be performed rather slowly but without dragging. Dynamics are not indicated, so that the conductor has the opportunity to draw the attention of the musicians to his gestures and to make them react according to his indications. Timpani and bell parts have been added with the aim of not leaving the percussionists completely inactive during the warm-up phase, but can also be omitted. The chorales are written in four parts (SATB) and are also playable in smaller groups. The four voices can be played in different combinations of woodwinds or brass quartets or in mixed combinations. The collection includes ten chorales for the following keys: D flat major, A flat major, E flat major, B flat major, F major and C major. With his 60 Warm-up Chorales Franco Cesarini would like to convey the message to play the chorales in a musical way, thus raising the musicians’awareness of phrasing, the right interpretation of cadences, rubato and agogic. Above all, never do anything withoutputting the musical aspect in the foreground.

Best playability and musical spirit - this is what characterizes the music of Bertold Hummel who died in 2002, and why his music must be part of the repertoire of any amateur and semi-professional orchestra. The Oregon Symphony occupies a special position in his oeuvre: it was written by Hummel for the typically American symphonic wind bands, requiring almost 100 musicians, including 15 clarinets in three groups of five alone, as well as four piccolos and six flutes, bass clarinet, bassoons, saxophones, trumpets, horns, tubas and the typically American sousaphone, and five percussionists. The work consists of four movements; in the rousing finale, Hummel mixes jazz motifs with popular themes and even weaves the anthem of the State of Oregon in the final music. For getting better acquainted with this music, the first movement is also separately available ('Symphonische Ouverture', SHS 1001).

2nd Movement. Composed by S. Johnson. Arranged by Stuart Johnson. Band Music. Score and parts. Duration 2:20. Published by G & M Brand Music Publishers (CN.R10169).

Schubert's 5th Symphony is sunny, Viennese, scored originally for small classical orchestra and positively effervesces with ideas. Stuart Johnson has taken the theme from the 2nd movement - Andante con moto - and brought this gem within the reach of technically less advanced players without diminishing the musical quality.

Schubert's delightful 5th Symphony in Bb Major, written in 1816, is a miniature, perhaps consciously avoiding comparison with Beethoven's Fifth, written just 10 years earlier. Schubert's Great was to come later! The work is sunny, Viennese, scored originally for small classical orchestra and positively effervesces with ideas. Stuart Johnson has taken the theme from the 2nd movement - Andante con moto - and brought this gem within the reach of technically less advanced players without diminishing the musical quality.

As The Last Light Fades is a programmatic work, capturing the gradual shift when the sunset gives way to a brief moment of twilight, and the stars begin to take their place in the heavens waiting for darkness to blanket the sky. As the sun starts to descend beyond the horizon, a light rainfall plays percussively on the leaves hanging above. The music conveys the feeling of peace and tranquility that one can only really experience in nature, an ethereal and almost transcendent connection, undisturbed by the disruptions of the modern world.

One of the most flexible pieces ever written, this powerful original work by Michael Story will provide the opportunity for an entire instrumental program to perform together! Perfect also for a first full orchestra experience with plenty of doubling, it can be performed by string orchestra alone or with almost any combination of winds or percussion. The piano part is also completely optional, as it simply reinforces the string parts. The percussion parts are written for up to five players; however, if you have extra percussionists, you can double as many as you wish on the tom-tom part. This title is available in MakeMusic Cloud.
