Band Music. Score and parts. Duration 17:40. Published by G & M Brand Music Publishers (CN.R10193). With inspiration taken from composers Maurice Ravel, Arthur Benjamin and Charles Ives, Bourgeois take s a tongue-in-cheek approach to this challenging 3-movement work. While the work is infused with humor throughout, it still showcases his mastery of the wind band idiom.
In 1972, I wrote a Sonata for Two Pianos for two friends who were piano teachers at Wellington College. When in 1995 I was asked to write a work for wind band, I returned to this Sonata and have re-arranged and in the new version renamed it Fantasy Triptych. There are three movements: 1. Le Tombeau d'Arthur Benjamin Ravel wrote 'Le Tombeau de Couperin,' Arthur Benjamin wrote 'Le Tombeau de Ravel' and so the temptation to write 'Le Tombeau d'Arthur Benjamin' was overwhelming. At the end of the movement there is an oblique reference to Benjamin's own 'Jamaican Rumba' which accompanies a quote from an old Spanish folk song 'Loro, enciende el hervidor de agua.' 2. Mr. Bolt goes for a ride in his motor car, and Monsieur Ravel turns in his grave. The movement is dedicated to an old friend, Geoffrey Bolt, who adores the music of Ravel. but at the time of writing was learning to drive. He always described his vehicle as a motor car. To describe him as an impatient motorist would be a gross understatement. The refined suavity of Ravel's music was in complete contrast to these early manifestations of road rage, hence the central angry outburst. 3. The War March of the Ostriches The music of Charles Ives was fascinating me at the time of writing this movement and some of the influence has rubbed off in this rondo-like march. At the end there is a quote from the very beginning of the first movement. The title was inspired by the amusing antics of a group of ostriches during a visit to Bristol Zoo. $180.00 - See more - Buy onlinePre-shipment lead time: 3 to 4 weeks | | |

Black light is defined as infrared or ultraviolet light which is invisible to the naked eye. The idea of an entire spectra existing out of the range of human perception was a large influencing factor for George Sweet in the composition of this piece. Richly scored for the modern concert band, Black Light is written in a post-minimalist style and is also heavily influenced by the work of American composers Steve Reich, John Adams, and Philip Glass. Black light is defined as infrared or ultraviolet light which is invisible to the naked eye. The idea of an entire spectra existing out of the range of human perception was an influencing factor on the composition of the piece. Black Light is written in a post-minimalist style and is also heavily influenced by the work of American composers Steve Reich, John Adams, and Philip Glass.This begins with strict motor accompaniment. Take care to maintain equal balance among the different “moving parts†so that they blend to create a solid whole both here and throughout the piece. The primary thematic material is stated by the trumpets and horns at m. 12. This material is the basis for much of the harmonic and thematic material that follows. A slightly varied statement of the main theme is presented again at m. 26 with a different type of motor accompaniment. This leads to a B-section at m. 44, which is a bold fanfare-like presentation of the main material. Another series of variations on the main theme begins at m. 50 and incorporates many different textural and harmonic ideas in the accompaniment. Once again, be careful to not let any one “moving part†overwhelm another and keep the texture evenly balanced.  A second, broader presentation of the B-section occurs at m. 90 and leads to a subdued C-section at m. 100 with new melodic material presented in the trumpet. A whimsical march-like section pushes to the return of the introductory motor material at m. 131. A final heroic presentation of the main thematic material results in a somewhat ambiguous coda, which brings the piece to a dramatic conclusion. $14.00 - See more - Buy onlinePre-shipment lead time: 1 to 2 weeks | | |

| The Way to Heaven Concert band [Score and Parts] - Intermediate Anglo Music
Concert Band/Harmonie - Grade 5 SKU: BT.AMP-426-010 Droga do Nieba...(+)
Concert Band/Harmonie - Grade 5 SKU: BT.AMP-426-010 Droga do Nieba. Composed by Philip Sparke. Elite Series. Opening Pieces. Set (Score & Parts). Composed 2017. Anglo Music Press #AMP 426-010. Published by Anglo Music Press (BT.AMP-426-010). English-German-French-Dutch. The Way to Heaven was commissioned by the Royal Air Force Music Services. 2015 was the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Britain, which took place between July and October 1940, when the courageous fighter pilots of the Royal Air Forcethwarted Hitler’s ambitions to launch an invasion on the UK. The Way to Heaven opens with fluttering woodwind figures and brass fanfares, which build to a climax before a change of key introduces a short quotation for the Polish National Anthem - Mazurek Dbrowskiego. This fades and you can hear thesignal to scramble and the throaty sounds of the squadron’s Merlin engines bursting into life before they line up to take off. This leads to the main thematic material of the work, which depicts the heaven-bound flight of 303 Squadron as it climbs tointercept the incoming Messerschmitt 109s. A brief allusion to the Polish national anthem brings the piece to a triumphant close.
The Way to Heaven is geschreven in opdracht van de Britse Royal Air Force Music Services. In 2015 was het 75 jaar geleden dat de Slag om Engeland plaatsvond, tussen juli en oktober 1940, toen de moedige gevechtspiloten van de Royal Air Forcede ambities van Hitler om het Verenigd Koninkrijk tot capitulatie te dwingen wisten te dwarsbomen. The Way to Heaven opent met ‘dwarrelende’ motieven in het hout en koperfanfares, die worden opgebouwd tot een climax voordat een modulatie een kort citaat van het Poolse volkslied Mazurek Dbrowskiego introduceert. Dit sterft weg endan horen we het alarmsignaal voor het opstijgen van de vliegtuigen, en het schorre geluid van de Merlin-motoren voordat de gevechtstoestellen de lucht in gaan. Dit leidt tot het belangrijkste thematische materiaal van het werk, dat de ‘vlucht naarde hemel’ van het 303 Squadron beschrijft tijdens de klim omhoog met als doel het onderscheppen van de Duitse Messerschmitts Bf 109. Een toespeling op het Poolse volkslied brengt het werk naar zijn triomfantelijke slot.
The Way to Heaven wurde von den Royal Air Force Music Services in Auftrag gegeben. 2015 jährte sich die Luftschlacht um England, die von Juli bis Oktober 1940 stattgefunden hat, zum 75. Mal. Die mutigen Jagdflieger der Royal Air Force hattenHitlers Ambitionen einer Invasion Englands verhindert. The Way to Heaven beginnt mit einer unruhigen Figur in den Holzbläsern und mit Blechbläser-Fanfaren, die sich zu einem Höhepunkt aufbauen, bevor ein Tonartwechsel einen kurzen Verweis auf die polnische Nationalhymne Mazurek Dbrowskiego“ einleitet. Dies verklingt langsam und man hört das Signal zum Kampf und das Dröhnen der Merlin-Triebwerke der Staffeln, die vor dem Start zum Leben erwachen und sich aufstellen. Dies führt zum Hauptthema des Werkes, das den Flug in den Himmel vonStaffel 303 beschreibt, um die herankommenden Messerschmidt 109 abzufangen. Es klingt nochmals kurz die polnische Nationalhymne an, bevor das Stück mit einem triumphalen Schluss endet.
The Way to Heaven est une commande des services de musique de la Royal Air Force. 2015 a marqué le 75e anniversaire de la Bataille d’Angleterre qui eut lieu de juillet octobre 1940, et durant laquelle les courageux pilotes de chasse de laRoyal Air Force entravèrent les ambitions d’Hitler d’envahir le Royaume-Uni. The Way to Heaven commence par des motifs tremblants pour bois et des fanfares de cuivres qui se développent vers une apogée ; ensuite une modulation introduit une courte citation de l’hymne national polonais, Mazurek Dbrowskiego. Alorsque ces idées s’affaiblissent, on entend le signal pour décoller en urgence, puis le son rauque des moteurs Merlin de l’escadron mis en marche, avant que les avions ne s’alignent pour décoller. Ceci mène au matériel thématique principal de l’œuvrequi dépeint le vol vers le ciel de l’escadron 303 alors qu’il monte pour intercepter les Messerschmitt 109 entrants. Une brève allusion l’hymne national polonais mène la fin triomphante de l’œuvre.
