Bolero was originally written as a ballet for a famous ballerina and achieved great success on the stage. Nowadays the ballet itself is only rarely performed and even though Ravel thought the orchestra would seldom play it, it has become one of the best-loved pieces for the concert stage. This arrangement by Philip Sparke keeps very close to the original score in this melodically and rhythmically unique work.

Ravel schreef Bolero oorspronkelijk als ballet voor een beroemde danseres. Als zodanig was het ook bijzonder succesvol. Tegenwoordig wordt het als ballet nog zelden opgevoerd. Hoewel Ravel dacht dat het als orkestwerk nietin de smaak zou vallen, is het toch één van de geliefdste titels voor op het concertpodium geworden. De bewerking van Philip Sparke blijft dicht bij de originele partituur van dit melodisch en ritmisch bijzondere werk.

Bolero wurde ursprünglich als Ballett für eine berühmte Tänzerin geschrieben und feierte sensationelle Erfolge auf der Tanzbühne. Heute wird das Ballett nur noch selten aufgeführt und obwohl Ravel dachte, dass Orchester das Werk nur selten spielen würden, ist es zu einem der beliebtesten Titel für die Konzertbühne geworden.Philip Sparkes Bearbeitung hält sich nah an der Original-Partitur dieses melodisch und rhythmisch einzigartigen Werkes.

Le dernier ballet de Ravel, Boléro, fut écrit et créé en 1928. Aujourd’hui, le ballet est rarement représenté, et, bien que Ravel ait craint que les orchestres refusent d’interpréter son oeuvre, celle-ci est devenue l’une des plus populaires dans les salles de concert. Le Boléro est peut-être unique en son genre, dans le sens où l’orchestration géniale de Ravel est encore plus importante que les éléments mélodiques, rythmiques et harmoniques de l’oeuvre ; c’est pourquoi Philip Sparke n’a pas vu l’utilité d’en produire une version simplifiée ou réduite“ mais a essayé de respecter au mieux la partition de Ravel. Laissez-vous séduire !

Il Bolero composto da Maurice Ravel nel 1929 è per eccellenza la musica per balletto divenuta celebre anche come pezzo concertistico. E’ sicuramente il bolero più noto mai composto, nonché l’opera più popolare di Ravel, commissionatagli da Ida Rubinstein, una ballerina russa. Philip Sparke ha rispettato la geniale orchestrazione di Ravel creando uno straordinario arrangiamento per banda.

The Pavane for a Dead Princess is considered to be one of Ravel's most popular works. The solemn and stately court dance strutting along in an even pulse turns into a melancholic, yet not sombre dirge.

The arrangement on hand is in line with the orchestral version written by Ravel himself in 1910 and constitutes part of the series Ravel for Saxophone Quartet including publications of, among others, Ma Mère L'Oye (Mother Goose), Trois Chansons (Three Songs), and Le Tombeau de Couperin.

The piece traces key events in the life of Haakon the Good, later to become King Haakon I (ca. 921-960), who had been fostered by King Athelstan of England as part of a peace agreement made by his father (“The Future King”). The English king brought him up in the Christian religion and, on the news of his father's death, provided him with ships and men for an expedition against his half-brother Eirik Bloodaxe, who had been proclaimed king of Norway. On his arrival he travelled north (“The Journey to Trondheim”), where he began to gain the support of the landowners by promising to give up the rights of taxation his father had previously claimed. Elrik's sons allied themselves with the Danes, but were invariably defeated by Haakon, who was successful in everything he undertook except in his attempt to introduce Christianity to the country (“The Missionary King”), which aroused an opposition he did not feel strong enough to face. One of his most famous victories was “The Battle of Rastarkalv” (near Frei) in 955. By placing ten standards far apart along a low ridge (to give the impression his army was bigger than it actually was), he managed to fool Eirik's sons that they were outnumbered (the ten standards are represented by ten loud chords that begin in m. 420). The Danes fled and were slaughtered by Haakon's army.

When traveling through the desert southwest of the United States, you may be fortunate enough to come across a strange looking brown and white streaked bird called the Roadrunner. It has a blue patch of skin circling the eyes, a tiny dot of bright red behind the eyes, a bushy crest on the top of its head and a long tail that bobs up and down. A member of the cuckoo family, it is New Mexico's state bird, and can run in bursts of speed from between ten to twenty miles per hour. Because it is equipped to run rather than fly, its feet are different from other bird species, having two toes in front and two toes in the back. Its tracks looks like the letter X. Although roadrunners can become airborne, they are basically ground birds and do not fly. They eat insects, scorpions, small rodents, birds, lizards and snakes. They do make noise when in danger; however, the clicks and clatters do not resemble the sound of a honking horn that we think of from the Hollywood cartoon version of roadrunners. The repeated notes in the opening melody of Roadrunner Rally will remind you of the sight of a roadrunner traveling along at breakneck speed. A crisp spiccato accompanied by pizzicato in the cello and bass paints the picture of the bird running through the desert. At m. 17 you will hear that raucous honk, honk that is associated with the roadrunner saying Out of my way! The syncopation can easily be learned by feel as well as by counting carefully. At m. 25 and similar passages, the first violins will have fun learning the jazz licks. The walking bass like at m.69 with the jerky sound of the octaves in the upper strings will remind you of the awkward appearance of this ungainly bird. And of course, Roadrunner Rally ends with a loudly emphasized honking noise, the beep that we associate with the humorous picture of the roadrunner.
