Born in Jarrow, northeast England, in 1949, John Miles was something of a child prodigy, learning the piano from the age of five. In the early ’60s he persuaded his father to buy him a guitar and by the end of the decade he had joined a semi-professional band, The Influence. The group soon disbanded and by 1969 Miles was recording with his own group, The John Miles Band, releasing a dozen singles in the early ’70s. In 1975 Miles decided to move to London and secured a deal with Decca Records. By October that year, a newly formed band, John Miles and Co, had released their debut single, Highfly, but their greatest hit, which stormed the British charts in March 1976, was Music.In 1976 bestormde het nummer Music van de band John Miles and Co de hitparades. Music, vaak bekritiseerd als pompeus en hoogdravend in een periode die steeds meer de kant van de punk opging, was in feite typisch Britsetechnopop en daarbij een bepalende plaat voor die tijd, samen met nummers als Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody. Met veel gevoel voor dynamiek en dramatiek werkt deze ode aan de muziek nog altijd aanstekelijk.Musik war meine erste Liebe“ - so beginnt der Text dieses Pop-Klassikers aus den Siebzigern von John Miles, der mit dieser Zeile damit damals und heute den Nerv aller begeisterten Musiker und Musikfans der Welt traf. Leise und laut, gefühlvoll und dramatisch, zieht diese schöne Liebeserklärung an die Musik in der Blasorchester-Bearbeitung von Philip Sparke noch immer Musiker und Zuhörer unweigerlich in ihren Bann. E’ con Music, il suo più grande successo, che John Miles (1949) conquista le hit-parade inglesi nel marzo 1976. Espressiva, potente e dinamica, questa canzone è un magnifico inno alla musica. L’arrangiamento di Philip Sparke è fedele alla versione originale.

Flamenco is a style of music, usually played on the guitar to accompany dancing and singing, that has its home in Andalusia in southern Spain. It has its roots in the years of Moorish rule of the region (711-1492) although the modern flamenco style dates only from the 18th century. La Caracola (which is the Spanish name for the triton sea shell) is an annual festival of flamenco that takes place around the region’s capital, Seville, annually in May. This piece does not contain any traditional flamenco melodies but does capture wonderfully the colour, passion and energy of this seductive music in a ‘must-have’ work for Beginner Bands.Flamenco, een muziekstijl die gewoonlijk op de gitaar wordt gespeeld ter begeleiding van dans en zang, komt uit Andalusië in het zuiden van Spanje. De wortels liggen in de jaren van Moorse overheersing in de regio (711-1492), maarde moderne flamencostijlen dateren uit de achttiende eeuw. La Caracolá (de Spaanse benaming voor de tritonshoorn) is een jaarlijks flamencofestival dat in mei plaatsvindt rond Sevilla, de hoofdstad van de streek. Dit werk bevat geentraditionele flamencomelodieën, maar vangt de kleur en energie van deze verleidelijke muziek in een werk voor beginnende blaasorkesten.Der Flamenco ist in Andalusien in Südspanien zu Hause und wird gewöhnlich auf der Gitarre, zur Begleitung von Tanz und Gesang, gespielt. La Caracolá nennt sich ein Flamenco-Festival, das jedes Jahr im Mai rund um die Landeshauptstadt Sevilla stattfindet. La Caracolá von Philip Sparke enthält keine originalen Flamenco-Melodien. Es versucht vielmehr, die Farbe und die Energie dieser verführerischen Musik in einem Werk für Jugendblasorchester einzufangen.Il flamenco è una musica cantata e danzante, generalmente accompagnata da un gioco di chitarra sontuoso. La culla del flamenco si trova in Andalusia, nel sud della Spagna. La Caracol (nome spagnolo per tritone, una grande conchiglia), è un festival di flamenco che ogni anno si tiene nei pressi di Siviglia. Questa composizione per formazione junior non s’ispira ad alcuna melodia del repertorio del flamenco,ma cerca bensì di esprimere la luce, i colori e l’energia di questa musica seducente.

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.
