Score-'Down the moving line suddenly came the surging chant:Chi Rho Omega Lambda Chi!We meet tonight to celebrateThe Omega Lambda Chi!'''Omega Lambda Chi' was a fictitious fraternity created by some Yale sophomores in the 1870's. Freshmen were pledged to a non-existent society so they would buy the sophomores cigars and drinks. By the 1880's the name 'Omega Lambda Chi' had become applied to a wild May night of campus festivities. Classes paraded (sometimes with a band) singing shooting firecrackers and cheering the buildings of the Old Campus. Climaxing the rough and tumble evening was the 'Pass of Thermopolae.' In this brutal affair theFreshman class ran the gauntlet through the large stone Phelps Gateway while receiving the blows of the three upper classes. March: Omega Lambda Chi was probably written during Ives' Christmas vacation in 1895 and completed upon his return to school. It bears the title 'March on the air: Omega Lambda Chi 76 South Middle Campus January 4 1896.' The Yale Daily News reports that the ceremony took place that spring (May 18 1896) and that one of Ives' best friends D. C. Twitchell (later his brother-in-law) was one of the Omega Lambda Chi marshals. By 1900 the Omega Lambda Chi had become too dangerous and was outlawed by the faculty. Another Ives composition which was inspired by a Yale festive evening is Calcium Light Night.Charles Ives was a Yale student from 1894-1898. He was a popular figure on campus and was very active in social athletic and musical life. In 1928 Ives made a list of his band music on the back of one of his insurance company calendars. At least ten original band works are thought to have existed; there are numerous others that were band inspired. Only March: Omega Lambda Chi and March: Intercollegiate have been found complete in their band form. The tune 'Omega Lambda Chi' is derived from 'Sailing sailing' found in the first strain. The second strain and trio

Concert March-akamasa Sakai s?est laissé inspiré à la fois par la lumière comme source de joie et de bien-être et par une déclinaison de scènes de lumière : les reflets de la lumière sur l?eau les jeux de lumière d?un feu d?artifice la lumière du soleil qui filtre à travers les arbres et les illuminations des parcs à thèmes.The Banquet of Light s?ouvre dans une atmosphère éclatante. Les trombones et les trompettes exposent une ligne puissante reprise par les bois sous la forme d?une variation. La mélodie du trio développe un motif répété basé sur les notes Mi La Si et Ré avant de se fondre dans la fanfare initiale qui clôt l?œuvre dans un brillant élan de lumière.

The title First Light refers to the arrival of dawn – specifically the composer's experience of dawn in the mountains surrounding Lake Garda in northern Italy. There the light of the sun arrives in distinct stages:the night sky begins to brighten quite early though the sun remains hidden behind the mountains for several hours. Abruptly the first direct ray of sunlight crests the mountaintop bringing with it intense palpable heat. Thetown below nestled in the narrow space between the water's edge and the steep mountain slope remains in darkness for a while longer until the sun ultimately sends light cascading down the mountainside illuminating everything.(Grade 5) Dur: 8:30

Score-Acclaimed American composer Wallingford Riegger wrote Dance Rhythms in 1954 originally for orchestra but then adapted it himself for band. Noted for its light-hearted mood and energy it is animpressive study in rhythm and orchestration. This important work for band is available now again.

Refraction is a work that uses the entire band and all the colours it can possibly produce. As the title suggests it was inspired the fascinating physical phenomenon known as refraction. Just like light is split and disbursed into all its colours the main theme is split into little motives. As the individual motives are disbursed throughout the band different sections become more prominent only to recede into the general texture again. The work concludes with the fusion of all these elements in a monumental climax of movement sound and colour.

The renowned composer of Paper Cut and Tight Squeeze has created a love child from these two popular works. The result is Lights Out an audience-wowing excursion into a new realm of opto-electro-acoustic wind band repertoire that incorporates visual and physical elements into an exhilarating piece. The music itself is stunning but for the full effect you'll want to devise a performance that plunges the audience into darkness and suddenly surrounds them with glowing colors of LEDs and glowsticks. A very physical approach to connecting band music to life - and to light! Dur: 4:30 To perform the piece you'll need an audio system capable of playing the prerecorded audio tracks froma laptop computer via a small digital audio interface connected to an audio mixer. Download information is provided in the printed piece.

Out of the Darkness Into the Light is about optimism. All of us experience disappointments in our lives such failed relationships or the loss of loved ones but the indomitability of the human spirit allows us to overcome such set backs and get through the darker moments. For some faith and religion may be the answer but this piece is more about the internal strength that we can all call upon.Opening in sombre mood the first phase of the work symbolises the doubts we all have about ourselves and our lives. The opening phrase on solo clarinet appears throughout the piece and could be seen as the central idea of the work the human spirit itself. The faster centralsection is about the struggle to overcome the pain we experience and at bar 88 the moment of catharsis occurs. This signals a change of mood and from then on the clarinet motif is transformed into a feeling of joy and optimism. We have entered the light.
