MARS (135X180) inches. English-German-French-Dutch.

In 1950, Pope Pius XII selected Marche Pontificale from the OrganSymphony No. 1, by French composer Charles Gounod, as the officialhymn of the Vatican. The first rendition of the official hymn took placein the same year, in Saint Peter?s Square in Rome, played by sevenmilitary bands. To celebrate the 80th birthday of Pope Benedict XVI in2007, Wil van der Beek has produced a first-class arrangement of thisfamous work for concert band.

Ter gelegenheid van het heilig jaar 1950 bepaalde de toenmalige paus Pius XII dat de Marche Pontificale van de Franse componist Charles Gounod (1818-1893) de officiële hymne van Vaticaanstad zou worden, als opvolger van eenhymne uit 1857 van Vittorino Hallmayr.De nieuwe naam van de mars werd â??Paushymneâ??. De godvruchtige Gounod had het werk in 1869 geschreven voor een jubileum van paus Pius IX. In dat jaar vond de première plaats op het Sint-Pieterpleinin Rome, gespeeld door zeven militaire orkesten. Het was een enorm succes - en ook nu nog is deze muziek zeer geliefd.Wil van der Beek stond garant voor het uitstekende arrangement van dit bekende werk.

Marche Pontificale stammt aus der Orgelsymphonie Nr. 1, die Charles François Gounod 1835 zur Ernennung von Papst Pius IX schrieb und die seit 1950 als offizielle Vatikanhymne gilt. Nun liegt sie, pünktlich zum Jubiläumsjahr 2007, in dem unserâ?? Papst Benedikt XVI seinen 80. Geburtstag feierte, in einer neuen Bearbeitung für Blasorchester aus der Feder des erfahrenen Arrangeurs Wil van der Beek vor.

En 1950, l'occasion de l'Année Sainte, le Pape Pie XII décida que la Marche pontificale du compositeur français Charles Gounod (1818-1893) deviendrait l'hymne officiel de l'Ã?tat de la Cité du Vatican. La Marche pontificale, comme l'avait appelée son auteur prit alors le nom dâ??Hymne pontifical remplaçant ainsi lâ??ancien hymne (Musica Festiva) composé par Vittorino Hallmayr en 1857.Animé dâ??une foi profonde, Charles Gounod avait composé cette marche en 1869 pour le jubilé sacerdotal du Pape Pie IX. La création eut lieu la même année, sur le parvis de la Basilique Saint-Pierre, par sept fanfares militaires. Lâ???uvre connut un succès immédiat.Elle est toujours appréciée de nos jours.Wil van der Beek en a réalisé un excellent arrangement.

Charles Gounod (1818-1893) was a French composer who was well-known and well-regarded in his lifetime. His legacy included breaking from the grand opera tradition and influencing the next generation of Frenchcomposers. March of the Marionette was originally a piano solo titled Funeral March of a Marionette. Gounod wrote the piece to make fun of the music critic, Henry Chorley. The marionette dies in a duel, possibly a musical imitation of a public argument about the merits of Gounod’s compositions. The marionette’s friends have a funeral for him, creating a procession through the streets, with a brief stop for refreshments, illustrated in the D major section. This now-familiar theme has been used in frequently in advertisements, movies, and television shows. It was used as the theme music for Alfred Hitchcock Presents television show (1956-66) introducing dramas, mysteries, and thrillers.The prevailing bow strokes in this piece range from spiccato stroke to a light brush stroke for all eighth notes, regardless of articulation markings. Students should experiment with bow distribution to discover the appropriate placement for different dynamics. Students just learning the spiccato bow stroke will be more successful if they start this bow stroke close to their bow hand. Encourage students to discuss the character of the music and how to bring the storyline to life as an ensemble.

Gounod's classic piece, arranged for double bass, with piano accompaniment.

The music in the beginning tells the listener that two of the members of the Marionette troupe have had a duel and one of them has been killed. A party of pallbearers is organised and the procession sets out for the cemetery in march time.

The piece soon takes on a more cheerful spirit, for some of the troupe, wearied with the march, seek consolation at a wayside inn, where they refresh themselves and also descant upon the many virtues of their late companion. At last they get into place again and the procession enters the cemetery to the march rhythm -- the whole closing with the bars intended to reflect upon the briefness and weariness of life, even for marionettes.
