for Band. Par ANDERSON LEROY. This work was written by Leroy Anderson in 1951 and premiered by him when he recorded it for Decca. Interestingly, in 1956 the Phantom Regiment Drum and Bugle Corps of Rockford, Illinois changed their original name from the Rockford Rangers after having heard the piece played by a different corps. The music emulates the sound of distant trumpets and soldiers marching, drawing closer to the listener bit by bit. As the music gains strength, the marching and trumpets get louder and after passing the audience, it slowly fades away as they disappear into the distance again. This exclusive Southern band edition by Mark Rogers reintroduces Anderson's enchanting work to new generations of audiences. / Date parution : 2022-11-29/ Répertoire / Concert Band

Par SPARKE PHILIP. Mercury Rising est une commande du « sinfonisches blasorchester wehdel » et de son chef d?orchestre, Thomas Ratzek, pour célébrer le cinquantenaire de l?ensemble, en 2018. Celui-ci a créé cette pièce le 2 novembre 2018 lors de son concert d?anniversaire au Bremerhaven Stadttheater, en Allemagne. Destinée à ouvrir un concert avec brio et virtuosité, cette composition débute avec une énergie fiévreuse et des rythmes syncopés puissants dans un embrasement de couleurs. Les cors et les saxophones introduisent alors une ample mélodie, reprise par les trompettes après un changement de tonalité. Un moment plus calme introduit une fanfare lointaine par les cors par-dessus les doubles croches effervescentes des clarinettes dans le registre grave. Ce passage est interrompu par une mélodie ténor pleine de passion, mais il revient bientôt avec l?ensemble des cuivres ; accompagné par des échos des figures d?ouverture des vents, il se prolonge pour mener la pièce à une conclusion triomphale. / Date parution : 2022-01-14/ Répertoire / Concert Band/Harmonie
