Composed by Jan de Haan. Concert and Contest Collection Brass Band en Fanfare. Concert Piece. Set (Score & Parts). Composed 2000. De Haske Publications #DHP 1002368-020. Published by De Haske Publications (BT.DHP-1002368-020).

Harmony Festival is Jan de Haan’s expression of his great respect for the composer of composers, Johann Sebastian Bach. He has used the four note names which form the name of this composer as the basis of this piece. This four note motif provides us with the most beautiful and unexpected chord combinations creating a ‘festival of harmonies’!

Met Harmony Festival betuigt Jan de Haan zijn respect voor de componist der componisten: Johann Sebastian Bach. Hij gebruikte de vier notennamen die samen de achternaam van deze componist vormen. (In Duitsland wordt de besaangeduid met de letter b, en de noot b met de letter h) Aan de hand hiervan creëerde de componist onverwachte akkoordverbindingen, waarmee een festival van harmonieën ontstond. In het eerste deel van het werk wordt het thema voorgesteldin verschillende variaties. Hierbij valt het gebruik van polymetriek op. Er volgt een overgang naar het tweede, langzame deel. Dit begint met een solo, die -net als de begeleiding- ge nspireerd is door het leidmotief Decompositie eindigt met een stralende finale.

Perfect for combined concerts or blended-level ensembles, Festival Fanfare provides a celebration of music where all students can participate. The grade 2.5 piece can be performed alone or with beginning-level parts that use only simple rhythms on open strings or first-finger notes. Set in G major with just a little easy shifting in first violin and bass, the piece features energetic accompaniment patterns and open-string double stops for a big fanfare of sound. A slower middle section introduces a solemn moment of reflection before the joyous theme returns for a grand finale.
