Jan de Haan took as a starting point for Music for a Solemnity an old custom from the Dutch town of Hoogeveen, by which the faithful are called to church with drums. It was also inspired by the music of John Williams. This unusual combination has resulted in a solemn work in which old traditional methods are united with modern rhythms and melodic lines.

Voor Music for a Solemnity liet Jan de Haan zich enerzijds inspireren door de eeuwenoude traditie in de Drentse stad Hoogeveen om met trommels tot de kerkgang op te roepen en anderzijds door de muziek van de succesvolle Amerikaansecomponist John Williams. Deze bijzondere combinatie resulteerde in een feestelijk werk met ritmische patronen en melodische lijnen die getuigen van respect voor Williams’ oeuvre.

Zu Music for a Solemnity ließ sich der Komponist einerseits vom alten Brauch der niederländischen Stadt Hoogeveen, mit Trommeln zum Kirchgang zu rufen, und andererseits von der Musik von John Williams inspirieren. Diese ungewöhnliche Kombination mündete in ein festliches Werk, in welchem sich alte Tradition in schönster Weise mit modernen Rhythmen und melodischen Linien vereinen.

Il y a quatre siècles, l’église de la ville d’Hoogeveen aux Pays-Bas n’avait pas de carillon. Les fidèles décidèrent de se rassembler pour le culte dominical au son d’un tambour. Aujourd’hui, Hoogeveen possède plusieurs carillons mais continue d’honorer cette tradition ancienne. Music for a Solemnity (Musique pour une occasion solennelle) est une oeuvre festive en hommage au tambour d’Hoogeveen. Les lignes mélodiques et les motifs rythmiques sont inspirés de la musique du célèbre compositeur américain John Williams qui Jan de Haan voue une grande admiration.

Una composizione che riprende le vicende del villaggio olandese di Hoogeveen nel XVII secolo. Dato che la chiesa non aveva un campanile, fu deciso di utilizzare un tamburino per chiamare i cittadini a messa. Benché oggi la cittadina sia ricca di campane, Hoogeveen onora questa antica tradizione del tamburino. Music for a Solemnity è un brano festivo ispirato dal tamburino da un lato, ma anche dalla musica di John Williams, le cui linee melodiche e la scrittura ritmica influenzano da sempre Jan de Haan.

Saul, published for the first time in the version conducted by Handel himself. Saul is one of the most dramatic of Handel's oratorios. To a greater extent than almost any other oratorio it reveals with its gripping dramatic power its proximity to opera of its time. The score demands what was at the time Handel's most varied orchestra. The normal opera orchestra of the day was augmented by trombones, harp, solo organ, carillon (Glockenspiel) and large kettledrums. The choir functions for the first time as a central participant in dramatic action, while also undertaking commentating functions as in a Greek tragedy. This new edition makes use for the first time of musical material revealed by the latest Handel research, based as its most important source on the conducting score from which Handel himself directed his performances. Only this research has shown which arias, choruses, recitatives and instrumental pieces, after he had made numerous corrections in his autograph, Handel chose for his performances, and in what order they were given. The result has produced, apart from many changes of details (e.g. autograph instructions concerning the use of the organ), uncommon ordering of individual pieces, and passages with altered notes. Score and part available separately - see item CA.5505300.

Carolina’s Majesty captures the grace and beauty and of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Opening with a dialogue between brass section fanfares and lyrical woodwind statements the piece quickly develops into a soaring melody first heard in the woodwinds and then passed through the brass section. The slower middle section weaves the flowing melodic material between all choirs of instruments and a unique fugue inspired by the opening melodies leads us to a majestic and energetic conclusion. With emphasis on melodic development throughout the composition, this powerful composition is an excellent choice for any concert or contest setting.

As the title suggests in Christmas Bells, bells play the leading part. This medley begins with bell chiming on the CD (this comes with the set), after which the band come in with a solid chord. During the short introduction, the bells still sound in the background. Following this sparkling introduction three well-known Christmas melodies are heard. Roland Kernen chose Kling Glöckchen klingelingeling, Sü�er die Glocken nie klingen and, of course, Jingle Bells! A fantasic work to end any Christmas concert.

In Christmas Bells spelen klokken de hoofdrol. Deze medley begint met klokgelui op de cd, waarna het orkest inzet met een stevig akkoord. Tijdens de korte inleiding klinken de klokken van de cd nog op de achtergrond. Daarnakomen drie bekende kerstmelodieën beurtelings naar voren. Roland Kernen koos voor Kling klokje, klingelingeling, Sü�er die Glocken nie klingen en natuurlijk Jingle Bells!

Weihnachten und Glockenklang sind untrennbar miteinander verknüpft - die gro�en Glocken der Kirchtürme erschallen weithin, während zu Hause drinnen und drau�en zu Weihnachten gern mit kleinen Glöckchen geschmückt wird. Daher wählte sich André Waignein das Thema Glocken zum Motto seines bezaubernden neuen Weihnachtslieder- Medleys aus drei allseits bekannten Weihnachtsliedern.

Comme son titre le suggère, les cloches constituent lâ??élément central de cette pièce festive. Christmas Bells (Les cloches de Noël) sâ??ouvre avec un carillon de cloches dâ??église (enregistré sur le CD joint cette édition). Lâ??Orchestre dâ??Harmonie entre sur un accord puissant puis développe une courte introduction tandis que le carillon résonne en fond sonore. Les trois noëls sont alors exposés tour tour. Roland Kernen a choisi de rassembler les deux noëls allemands, Kling Glöckchen klingelingeling et SüÃ?er die Glocken nie klingen, et lâ??incontournable Jingle Bells.

Come suggerisce il titolo, le campane costituiscono lâ??elemento centrale di questo brano festivo. Il medley si apre con un carillon di campane di chiesa (inciso sul CD accluso al set per banda). La banda entra su un potente accordo per poi sviluppare una breve introduzione, mentre il carillon risuona sullo sfondo. Roland Kernen ha deciso di raccogliere due canti natalizi tedeschi Kling Glöckchen klingelingeling, Süsser die Glocken nie klingen e lâ??immancabile Jingle Bells.
