Nico Schoeters took his first percussion lessons with Eric Buyle in the Academy for Music and Word in Boom, near Antwerp, after getting the hang of it through private lessons by Jozef Vervliet. Afterwards he continued his music studies at the Royal Conservatory of Antwerp, where he was taught by Leo Ouderits, Carlo Willems and Koen Wilmaers. In 1998 he graduated there with great distinction as Master in percussion. After cooperating on various projects in Belgium and abroad as a freelance percussionist, Nico took up a position as a percussionist in the National Orchestra of Belgium. However, despite of all his achievements as a percussionist, Nico Schoeters didn’t take his first musical steps by playing percussion, but by playing the piano. His love for the piano remained a common thread in his musical career. For example, he played numerous gigs as a pianist with his jazz quartet ‘Just Friends, consisting of a number of top musicians who are his friends. In addition he started composing piano works in 2012. Cosmopolydian is my first composition for symphonic windband. It's a solo piece for flute and vibraphone which is dedicated to Inge Smedts, principal piccolo at the Royal Wind Band of the Belgian Guides. It is written in the context of a musical project ‘Cocktail Maison'. This project includes a concert on May 25th, 2017 in De Singel in Antwerp where this work will be premiered, a CD recording and a concert tour. All the pieces for this project are new compositions by Piet Swerts, Jef Neve, Klaas Coulembier, Etienne Houben, Bart Watté, Jan Huylebroeck, Francois Glorieux and myself. All the compositions are inspired by a cocktail. My choice is the Cosmopolitan, but the non-alcoholic version, the mocktail actually. The title Cosmopolydian is a nod to the lydian scale which I used as a base for the majority of the piece. The idea behind the music is an image of children enjoying themselves, worry-free, during the holidays. Tired but satisfied, they go to sleep and have wonderful dreams. The next day they wake up to start a beautiful new day.The work is constructed in a typical ABA form. A quick first part: ‘sparkling allegro', which of course should sound very light and playful. A slow middle part warm adagio, in which the beautiful dreams become audible. The last part is a re-exposition of the first part in which eventually all the themes merge into the final.

Hector Berlioz (1803-1869) schreef de ouverture Le Corsaire (De zeerover) in Nice, in het jaar 1844. De eerste uitvoering vond plaats onder de titel La tour de Nice (De toren van Nice). Pas later kreeg het werk de naamLe Corsaire, waarschijnlijk naar een gedicht van Lord Byron, voor wie Berlioz veel bewondering had. De originaliteit van deze ouverture wordt alom geprezen. De muziek is van een energieke levendigheid die aanstekelijk werkt.Niet voor niets is Le Corsaire nog altijd een van de populairste orkestwerken van Berlioz.Hector Berlioz schrieb diese Ouvertüre mit dem ursprünglichen Titel La Tour de Nice (Der Turm von Nizza) im Jahre 1844 in selbiger Stadt und benannte sie erst spater um, vermutlich nach einem Gedicht von Lord Byron, den er sehr verehrte. Die Ouvertüre wurde von Anfang an für ihre Originalitat und Lebendigkeit gelobt. So ist es kein Wunder, dass Le Corsaire, das hier in einer Transkription des Tohru Takahashi vorliegt, auch heute noch zu den beliebtesten Werken von Berlioz gehort.Berlioz ne revele aucun talent musical particulier dans son enfance ; ses parents ne sont pas musiciens. Vers l'age de treize ans, il apprend a jouer de la flute a bec et de la guitare et prend des cours de chant. En 1821, il s'installe a Paris et marche sur les pas de son pere en suivant un temps les cours de la Faculte de Medecine. Mais au bout d'un an, et au grand desespoir de ses parents, il abandonne ses etudes et entre au Conservatoire de Paris. Sa passion pour l'actrice irlandaise Harriet Smithson, qu'il epousera quelques annees plus tard (un mariage malheureux), a largement influence sa vie et sa musique. Lorsqu'il remporte le Prix de Rome en 1830, Berlioz avait dejacompose quelques œuvres majeures dont la Symphonie Fantastique. Berlioz devient la figure essentielle du romantisme francais. Ses œuvres sont dominees par ses idees novatrices.La premiere version de l'ouverture Le Corsaire remonte a un sejour que Berlioz fit a Nice en 1844. L'œuvre fut donnee en creation sous le titre La Tour de Nice. Par la suite, Berlioz remania sa composition et lui donnera son titre definitif Le Corsaire. La reference au roman poetique de Lord Byron a qui le compositeur vouait une grande admiration, reste une supposition qui ne fait pas l'unanimite.Cette ouverture fut particulierement saluee pour son originalite. La musique deborde d'energie et les effets sont fantastiques. Il n'est donc pas surprenant de constater que Le Corsaire est une des œuvres orchestrales les plus connues et les plus jouees de Berlioz.

Adapted from the slow movement of Bourgeois' own Sonata for Brass Quintet, Northern Lament is a powerful work with a fiery climax in the middle and thematic material derived from a simple & memorable melody.This piece originated in the slow movement of Sonata for Brass Quintet, which I wrote in 1965 whilst still a pupil of Herbert Howells at the Royal College of Music, London. It had been commissioned by the Halle Brass Quintet, although they never performed the work. In 1997, Timothy Reynish suggested that I should arrange the work for wind orchestra. I decided to expand the movement into something more than double its original length, adding a fiery climax to its central section. The whole movement derives from the simple melody stated at the beginning. Because of Timothy Reynish's association with the Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester, England and because the original sonata was never played by the northern-based Halle Brass Quintet who invited me to write it, I decided to call the new piece Northern Lament..

Wit, warmth, charm, beautiful melody, vivacity; all of these, and more are abundantly evident. No wonder Jeuz d'enfants has been rated as a little masterpiece. Each of the three included movements is complete within itself and playable separately; together the contrasting styles and moods create an attractive Concert Suite.Jeuz d'enfants was originally written in 1871 as a Suite of twelve pieces for piano duet. Two years later, Bizet scored five of the pieces for orchestra to create a Petite Suite. Each movement shows Bizet's enormous skill as a miniaturist, the music exuding a concentration of power and atmosphere. Wit, warmth, charm, beautiful melody, vivacity; all of these, and more are abundantly evident. No wonder Jeuz d'enfants has been rated as a little masterpiece. Three of the movements are included in this arrangement. Each is complete within itself and playable separately; together the contrasting styles and moods create an attractive Concert Suite. 1) Marche - Trompette and Tambour (Trumpet and Drum) 2) Duo - Petit Mari, Petite Femme (Little Husband, Little Wife) 3) Galop - Le Bal (The Ball).
