Fanfare Band - Grade 3

SKU: BT.GOB-000439-120

Composed by Carl Wittrock. Score Only. 20 pages. Gobelin Music Publications #GOB 000439-120. Published by Gobelin Music Publications (BT.GOB-000439-120).

Carl Wittrock's wide interest in global folk-music resulted in this concert-piece based on original African rhythms.
Obviously, the percussion section has a conspicious role to play, but the band too may indulge itself in moments of thoroughly delightful excitement.
The introduction depicts the awakening of nature, and develops into a dance. The (main) motif of this dance is from a dance entitled Apollo and comes from Gambia. Its accompaniment consists of an ostinato pattern by balaphon-master Maudo Susa.
The quiet middle movement is based on the rhythm of the 'gigbo' : a traditional dance from Ghana.
In the final movement -which also bears a slight resemblanceto a theme from 'The Lion King'- the so-called 'Kono' rhythm is used. The work is played most advantageously using djembes.

Challenge and please your percussion section with 'The African Connection'. Carl Wittrock's brede interesse voor de wereldmuziek resulteerde in dit op originele Afrikaanse ritmes gebaseerde concertwerk.
Het slagwerk speelt uiteraard een opvallende rol, maar ook het orkest kan zich op een heerlijke manier uitleven.
De inleiding schildert het ontwaken van de natuur, welke overgaat in een dans. Het motief van deze dans (Apollo) is afkomstig uit Gambia. De begeleiding bestaat uit een ostinaatpatroon van de balafon-meester Maudo Susa.
De basis van het rustige middendeel is gelegen in het ritme van de Gigbo, een traditionele dans uit Ghana.
Het laatste deel (met enige gelijkenis met The Lion King) maakt gebruik van het zogenaamde Kono ritme.
Het werk komt het best tot zijn recht als er gebruik wordt gemaakt van djembes.

This classic Clarence Williams composition was written at the very beginning of the Jazz Age and speaks in the Count Basie language. An 8 measure written piano solo feeds into a quiet full ensemble melody with brass in bucket mutes. (Open in stand will do) Well placed unisons and ensemble writing leads to a 16 bar tenor sax solo (suggested written solo is provided) then builds to a final full ensemble shout chorus a minor third higher. Includes an optional flute part. The unique surprise ending will treat the audience and band to a few happy moments. Hint: (Opt. one bar vocal ending).

Choral (SATB)

SKU: HL.374948

Composed by Stacey Nordmeyer. Brookfield Choral Series. Easter, Lent. Octavo. Duration 200 seconds. Published by Brookfield Press (HL.374948).

UPC: 196288017424. 6.75x10.5x0.029 inches. Genesis 3:19, Isaiah 58:5, Psalm 103:13-14.

Designed to provide a path of quiet reflection for the beginning of Lent, this fresh anthem is replete with moments of deep beauty. The bittersweet song is designed to work with groups of any size. Set in minor, the melody, mood and message of the octavo set the stage for the lessons of Lent. The inclusion of “Kyrie eleison” helps worship planners integrate the anthem organically into the flow of any contemplative service. Deeply moving!
