In Atlas Rising, composer Carl Strommen derives inspiration from the statue of Titan Atlas lifting the universe on his shoulders. Unlike Sisyphus (of perpetual rolling stone fame) the monumental effort of Atlas was successful. This piece takes this idea and models it into an exceptional piece for contest/festival performance.
Atlas Rising was commissioned by WorldStrides OnStage and is dedicated to the thousands of directors who have traveled to a WorldStrides event over the past thirty-five years . WorldStrides OnStage offers performance experiences that fuel the passion of performing artists of all ages with breathtaking productions, prestigious events and premier venues . They provide performance opportunities all over the world where debuts are made, mentors are met, co-stars become lifelong friends and inspirations build bright futures .Directly across the street from St . Patricks Cathedral on 5th avenue and in front of Rockefeller Center in NYC, is the Lee Lawrie sculpture of Atlas holding up the heavens . Titles are always a problem - so after listening to a few playbacks, this very imposing statue of the Titan Atlas lifting the Universe on his shoulders came to mind - starting slowly with the low brass, “Rising” moves steadily with determination and intensity to a powerful and “muscular” conclusion . Unlike Sisyphus (of perpetual rolling stone fame) the monumental effort of Atlas was successful . As with all performing pieces, attention to dynamics and articulation are critical - In “Atlas Rising” - the conductor has many opportunities to interpretive discretion, particularly in the opening slower sections and after measure 109 on to the conclusion .

Composed by Claude T. Smith. Concert Band. Extra full score. Composed 1964. Claude T. Smith Publications #CTS-7708-01. Published by Claude T. Smith Publications (CL.CTS-7708-01).

This is the composition that started it all! A classic of the wind band literature for concert and contest alike. It was something completely different, with its appearance in 1964. The band’s literature had not experienced the trademark 7/8 measures, which we all know as a Smith trait. This composition also includes one of his few full band fugatos. Excellent percussion writing and a combination of all themes come together in a direct modulation to C Major. Originally titled Overture for Winds and Percussion, the word Emperata has no meaning; it was just, as Claude put it, an intriguing word! Still Smith’s best-selling work.

This work was especially composed for a concert series that was characterised by a variety of musical directions. These musical directions are captured in Campus Intrada, which was named after the Cultuurcampus in which the concerts took place. Thus, a typical fanfare-like section, a jazzy section and a section reminiscent of pop music are all concisely contained in this three-minute work.

Dit werk is speciaal gecomponeerd voor de concertserie van Adezi, een samenwerkingsverband van Harmonie Orkest Vleuten, De Bazuin (De Meern), het Utrechts Centrum voor de Kunsten (UCK), ZIMIHC, de Stichting Podiumwerkplaats en de Concertzender. Deze partijen hebben de handen ineengeslagen om de blaasmuziek in de regio Utrecht een stimulans te geven die wordt gekenmerkt door een diversiteit van muzikale richtingen. Deze richtingen zijn verklankt in Campus Intrada, genoemd naar de Cultuurcampus, waar de concerten plaatsvinden. Zo zijn een typisch fanfareachtig gedeelte, een jazzy gedeelte en een popgedeelte kernachtig samengevoegd in dit korte werk van 3 minuten.

Dieses Werk wurde speziell für eine Konzertreihe komponiert, die sich durch eine Vielfalt an musikalischen Richtungen auszeichnete. Diese musikalischen Richtungen sind in Campus Intrada vertont, das nach dem Cultuurcampus“, in dem die Konzerte stattfanden, benannt wurde. So wurden ein typisch fanfareartiger Teil, ein jazziger und ein an Popmusik erinnernder Teil kurz und prägnant in diesem dreiminütigen Werk zusammengefasst.

Cette oeuvre a été spécialement composée pour une série de concerts se caractérisant par une diversité d’orientations musicales. Celles-ci sont résumées dans Campus Intrada, dont le titre s’inspire du Cultuurcampus où les concerts ont eu lieu. Ainsi, un passage en forme de fanfare, un autre aux accents jazzy et une section évoquant la musique pop sont associés avec concision dans cette pièce de trois minutes.

Questo brano è stato composto per una serie di concerti chesi caratterizzano per la diversit di orientamenti musicali. Unpassaggio in forma di fanfara, un altro dai chiari accenti jazze una sezione che evoca la musica pop sono sapientementeintrecciati in questo brano dalla durata di 3,5 minuti.

Johannes Brahms (1833-1897) wrote his Violin Concerto in D major, Op. 77, in 1878. He composed the work for his longtime friend, famed violinist Joseph Joachim, who premiered it in Leipzig with the Gewandhaussaal on January 1, 1879, Brahms himself conducting. The program also included, at Joachim's insistence, Beethoven's Violin Concerto in D major, Op. 61, on which Brahms modeled his own concerto. While the critical reception of the time was mixed, the audiences at the various early performances received the work well. Most complaints directed at the concerto addressed the role of the solo violin, noting that the soloist does not offer much of the melodic material or include much in the way virtuosic passages, a consequence of looking more towards Beethoven's serious aesthetic rather than Paganini's flashy one. Joachim himself, before a falling out with the composer over personal reasons, included Brahms' concerto among the best German offered, saying: The Germans have four violin concertos. The greatest, most uncompromising is Beethoven's. The one by Brahms vies with it in seriousness. The richest, the most seductive, was written by Max Bruch. But the most inward, the heart's jewel, is Mendelssohn's. Instrumentation: 2.2.2.2: 4.2.0.0: Timp: Str (9-8-7-6-5 in set): Solo Violin in set.

Pierius Magnus is a historical figure from the Friesland area of Holland. He was a farmer who became a resistance fighter against Dutch oppressors in around 1500. Whether Magnus was a hero or barbarian is still debatable, but composer Jan de Haan was fascinated by the exciting story and let it fuel his imagination. The protagonist is introduced with a capricious theme which is followed by “De Arumer Swarte Heap,“ the troops who took to the battlefields against the Dutch. An eerie calm takes over moments before Pier and his troops let their battle cries sound. The work ends as the disillusioned Pier retreats. A concert work overflowing with excitement!

Pierius Magnus is een historisch figuur uit Friesland. Hij was boer én opstandeling tegen de Hollandse onderdrukkers, zo rond het jaar 1500. Was hij een held? Was hij een barbaar? Hoe we hem ook willen zien, Jan de Haan zag in GruttePier ieder geval een spannende bron van inspiratie in voor een compositie. Hij stelt de nationale held direct in het begin aan ons voor met een grillig capricciothema. Daarna volgt: ‘De Arumer Swarte Heap’, zijn bende mannen dieten strijde trok tegen de Hollanders. Een moment van rust valt in. Maar niet voor lang, want de strijd barst in alle hevigheid los! Het werk eindigt met het terugtrekken van een gedesillusioneerde Grutte Pier...

Pierius Magnus ist eine historische Figur aus Friesland, ein Bauer und Aufständischer gegen die holländischen Unterdrücker um 1500. Ob Held oder Barbar lässt sich heute einfach nicht zweifelsfrei belegen, aber der Komponist fand die Geschichte einfach zu spannend, um sie nciht als Inspirationsquelle zu nutzen. In Pierius Magnus wird der Nationalheld gleich zu Beginn des Werkes mit einem kapriziösen Thema vorgestellt, gefolgt von seinem Haufen De Arumer Swarte Heap. Dann- bevor der Kampf beginnt- tritt ein Moment der Ruhe ein, bevor Pier und seine Truppe in den Kampf ziehen. Das Werk endet mit dem Rücken des desillusionierten Pierius.

Pier Gerlofs Donia est l’un des personnages les plus célèbres de l’histoire de la Frise au cours des années 1500. L’Histoire ne nous permet pas de discerner les réelles intentions de cet homme surnommé le grand Pier de par son imposante stature. Était-il un combattant de la liberté ou un authentique barbare ? Le compositeur a trouvé toutefois en cette emblématique figure, une source d’inspiration fascinante.

Pierius Grelofs Donia è una delle più celebri figure della storia della regione olandese della Frisia nel corso del 1500. La storia non ci permette di discernere le reali intenzioni di quest’uomo soprannominato Grutte Pier (il grande Pier) per la sua statura imponente. Fu un paladino della libert o un semplice barbaro? Il compositore ha trovato in questa emblematica figura un’affascinante fonte d’ispirazione. Le prime misure di Pierius Magnus descrivono l’eroe nazionale attraverso un tema capriccioso. Un secondo tema dipinge la brigata nera di Arum, pronta ad affrontare gli olandesi. Un breve momento di calma fa da preludio al combattimento, prima che Pier Grelofsentri in azione. Disilluso, il grande Pier si ritira; la fine dell’opera sancisce anche la fine del combattimento.

Every year a competition for wind orchestras and brass bands takes place in Wallberg, Switzerland. Apart from a hymn and a solo piece, all orchestras also have a compulsory piece to play. The commission to create a compulsory piece for the 2012 competition fell to Jan de Haan. The composition is entitled Musica Helvetica. It takes the form of a three-part concert work, in which the last two parts flow directly from one to the other. The first part, Musica Prima, is a brisk virtuoso opening with jazz flavours woven in. The following section, Musica Sacra, offers a contrast with an extraordinarily colourful instrumentation for the gorgeous main theme. Thefinal part, Musica Alpina, is inspired by the great variety of scenery in Switzerland. With its witty humour it makes a worthy conclusion to this beautiful tryptich.

In het Zwitserse Wallberg wordt ieder jaar een concours voor harmonieorkesten en brassbands georganiseerd. Naast een hymne en een solowerk dienen alle orkesten een verplicht werk uit te voeren. Voor het concours van 2012 werd eenopdracht verstrekt aan Jan de Haan. De compositie kreeg Musica Helvetica als titel mee. Het gaat om een driedelig concertwerk waarvan de laatste twee delen onafgebroken in elkaar overgaan. Het eerste deel, Musica Prima,is een virtuoze en flitsende opening met hier en daar jazzy invloeden. In contrast daarmee staat het expressieve volgende deel, Musica Sacra, waarin het gedragen hoofdthema prachtig wordt uitgewerkt - de instrumentatieis hier buitengewoon kleurrijk. Het afsluitende deel, Musica Alpina, is ge nspireerd op het afwisselende landschap van Zwitserland. Het is grillig van structuur en vormt een waardige afsluiting van dit fraaie drieluik.

Im schweizerischen Wallberg wird jedes Jahr ein Wettbewerb für Blasorchester und Brass Bands ausgerichtet. Neben einer Hymne und einem Solowerk müssen alle Orchester ein Pfllichtstück spielen. Vor dem Wettbewerb im Jahr 2012 wurde der Auftrag zu diesem Pflichtstück an Jan de Haan vergeben. Die Komposition erhielt den Titel Musica Helvetica. Es handelt sich dabei um ein dreiteiliges Konzertwerk, dessen letzten zwei Teile direkt ineinander übergehen. Der erste Teil, Musica Prima, ist eine virtuose, flotte Eröffnung mit eingestreuten jazzigen Einflüssen. Einen Kontrast hierzu bildet der folgende Teil, Musica Sacra, worin das Hauptthema wunderschönausgearbeitet wird - die Instrumentierung ist hier außergewöhnlich farbig. Der letzte Teil, Musica Alpina, ist inspiriert vom abwechslungsreichen Landschaftsbild der Schweiz. Mit seiner launigen Struktur bildet er einen würdigen Abschluss dieses schönen Triptychons.

Chaque année, un concours pour orchestres d’harmonie et brass bands se déroule Wallberg, en Suisse. Outre un hymne et une oeuvre avec solo, tous les orchestres doivent interpréter une pièce imposée. Jan de Haan fut chargé de composer celle-ci pour l’édition 2012 du concours. Intitulée Musica Helvetica, cette composition prend la forme d’une pièce de concert en trois parties, les deux dernières se suivant sans interruption. La première partie, Musica Prima, est une ouverture rapide, épicée d’accents jazzy. La suivante, Musica Sacra, offre un splendide contraste avec une instrumentation incroyablement colorée dans le thème principal. La dernière partie,Musica Alpina, s’inspire de la diversité des paysages suisses. Pleine d’humour, elle couronne parfaitement ce superbe triptyque.

Variations on KV 503. Composed by Kees Schoonenbeek. Flexible 5 Series. Opening Pieces. Score Only. Composed 1990. De Haske Publications #DHP 0900197-216. Published by De Haske Publications (BT.DHP-0900197-216).

Vivat Mozart werd als thema met variaties gecomponeerd. Als uitgangspunt gebruikte Kees Schoonenbeek het openingsthema van Mozarts pianoconcert KV 503. Daarover ontwikkelde hij veelzijdige muzikale ideeën, van de originelestijl tot aan de blues voerend. Het gaat hier om een typische Mozart-melodie: natuurlijk, direct, bijna volksliedachtig en heel expressief.

Vivat Mozart wurde als Thema mit Variationen komponiert. Ausgangspunkt war das Eingangsthema des dritten Satzes aus Mozarts Klavierkonzert in C (KV 503). Daraus wurden sehr vielseitige musikalische Ideen, die vom volksliedartigen Stil der Originalmelodie bis hin zum Blues führen, entwickelt. Vivat Mozart setzt sich auf vergnügliche Weise mit der Musik eines großen Meisters auseinander und eignet sich ausgezeichnet dazu, diesen Ihren jungen Musikern nahe zu bringen.

En associant son talent de compositeur sa grande créativité, Kees Schoonenbeek a créé Vivat Mozart, une œuvre délicate et fluide en forme de variations sur le Concerto pour piano KV 503 du génie de Salzbourg, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.

This work is a one-movement piece with distinct sections. Beginning with a maestoso opening statement, the work then moves directly into a lighter 2/4 section which then leads to a 3/4 section that provides a lyrical rubato interlude back to the maestoso ending.
