Par HOSAY JAMES L.. What an outstanding way to conclude your concert. James L. Hosay writes some of the most exciting music to be found in Concert Band literature, and music doesn’t get much more exciting than this! While titled as a Grand Finale, this concert band tour de force can be programmed in numerous ways. Consider it also as a roof-raising opener or even in the guise of an entr’acte as you return from intermission. You will find JOYFUL EXCLAMATIONS to be one of the most thrilling and uplifting arrangements available in band literature today. This is also a perfect vehicle through which to study music history. Indescribable! / Niveau : 4 / Pièce de concert / Répertoire / Concert Band ou Harmonie

Arr. James L. Hosay. Par STEFFE W.. The mainly unison, easy chorus parts in BATTLE HYMN 2000 mean you CAN prepare James Hosay's imaginative and inspiring version of 'The Battle Hymn of the Republic' for performance, even though opportunities for combined chorus and band rehearsals are hard to find. In fact, the dress rehearsal may be all you need to put on the finishing touches. It makes a spine-tingling finale for a combined choral/band concert (it can also be used as a stand-alone band piece). For a thrilling addition, consider having the chorus surround the audience while the band remains on stage. The surround-sound effect can be magnificent and it gives each member of the chorus a little personal stardom. Don't forget, having one piece at the end of the concert which includes everyone always helps to make sure you maintain a 'full house' for all your performing groups. / Niveau : 4 / Répertoire / Concert Band ou Harmonie

Par GYORFFY ISTVAN. Hungarian-style dance music which flourished in the 16th and 17th centuries - generally referred to as ungaresca - represents a valuable part of European musical tradition. István Gyorffy's work (2007-2010) is a late successor of this tradition. It was written with the intention of embodying the eastern-central European tradition in order to present an alternative to the current fashions of music for wind instruments. The composer's approach to this style utilizes traditional forms of music. Both the first and third movements effectively optimize a concert band's tonal possibilities by using solos and small chamber groups in a varied manner. The slow and melodic second movement transfers a characteristic playing technique of Hungarian instrumental folk music to the concert band. István Gyorffy composed Ungaresca for young people preparing for careers in music. The work provides an excellent opportunity for students not only to display their instrumental skills, but also to gain orchestral playing experience./ Répertoire / Concert Band

Suite for Concert Band. Par TANAKA KUMIKO.

Le récit raconte la rencontre entre un petit garçon qui rêve de devenir peintre et un sanglier de bronze qui prend vie lorsqu’un enfant, symbole de l’innocence, monte sur son dos. La scène se passe à Florence, foyer des arts de la Renaissance… / Niveau : 4 / Pièce de concert / Date parution : 1905-06-28/ Répertoire / Concert Band

Par HOSAY JAMES L.. Commissioned by the Williamsburg Consort Symphonic Band - Sally Craig, Founder and Director An exquisite 18th century American musical quilt! So many stirring melodies artfully stitched into a rich mélange of early Americana: anthems of the revolution, songs of political protest, and so much more. Those who are familiar with Mr. Hosay’s previous works will be eager to examine this exciting new score. Every player in the band will enjoy interpreting this remarkable new concert band offering. Sing We Liberty is a great centerpiece for any patriotic venue and works wonderfully as an opener as well. There are also plenty of opportunities for cross-curricularteaching with this piece.
