Concert Band Signature Series. Par WALKER GEORGE. In 1946, George Walker was still doing graduate work at the Curtis institute when he composed Lyric for Strings, which would prove over the coming decades to become one of the most performed and enduring string orchestra works of the 20th Century. This first-ever edition for symphonic wind band was arranged by Dr. Luci Disano and premiered by The President's Own United States Marine Band on August 24, 2022. George Walker (June 27, 1922 - August 23, 2018) began his groundbreaking career as a young piano virtuoso and was admitted to Oberlin College on a scholarship following his first public recital at the age of 14. Graduating with the highest honors in his Conservatory class, he was admitted to the Curtis Institute of Music, becoming the first black graduate of this renowned music school. His works demonstrate a wide range of artistic excellence in genres ranging from instrumental and vocal solos and chamber music to compositions for orchestra and other large ensembles. He is the first black composer to be awarded the Pulitzer Prize. / Date parution : 2023-07-31/ Répertoire / Concert Band

Par CURNOW JAMES. erfect for a combined Choral/Band concert as an opener, closer or anywhere in between. This medley of familiar tunes is tied together by the recurring concept that MUSIC SHALL LIVE. A swingin' WADE IN THE WATER, a soulful NOBODY KNOWS THE TROUBLE I'VE SEEN, and an inspiring BATTLE HYMN OF THE REPUBLIC make it a crowd pleaser. The unison choral part makes sure the chorus can come through loud and clear and the performance can be prepared without a great deal of combined rehearsal time. Big, bold and powerful! (String parts and Beginning Band (simplified) parts are also available for large, All-City Band, Orchestra and Chorus performances) / Niveau : 2 / Pièce de concert / Répertoire / Concert Band

Par CURNOW JAMES. What a terrific way to kick off a combined chorus, band and even orchestra concert! THE MUSIC-MAKERS, based on O’Shaughnessy’s poem by the same name, by James Curnow works just as well as a closer, pulling your groups together for an all-inclusive grand finale. The rhythmic exuberance from measure number one sets up the inspiring choral entrance and the lovely andante espressivo middle theme contrasts delightfully. Careful scoring ensures successful balance as you thrill the audience with a panoply of rich and colorful sound. Spectacular! (Also works for Orchestra alone, Band with String Section or Full Band and Orchestra combined) / Niveau : 3 / Répertoire / Concert Band ou Harmonie

Par GRIEG EDVARD. Edvard Grieg is probably the best known of all Norwegian composers. He was one of the most important figures during the nationalistic romantic period and his music always contained the essence of this beautiful Scandinavian country. The Last Spring comes from Two Elegiac Melodies for String Orchestra and this version for concert band retains all the beauty and solemnity of the original. Evoke the peaceful atmosphere of Grieg’s native land with this beautiful haunting work. / Niveau : 4 / Répertoire / Concert Band ou Harmonie

Par VLAK KEES. Studio-Pop consists of five movements. The first movement, entitled Marching on a String, is an energetic rock march in a modern rhythm. Next, the charming Dreaming of Summer has been composed in three-four time - which is quite unusual in modern pop music. The inspiration for the third movement, Chicken-Charley was a youngman selling chicken legs from a stall. His supple, dancing movements can be recognised in the music. The fourth movement, Candlelight is a modern, attractive ballad. Finally, Discoteca takes us along on a night visit to a Spanish discotheque. The typically Spanish chords and the stirring, high-spirited rhythm provide an exuberant closing to Studio-Pop. / Niveau : 2 / Musique légère originale / Répertoire / Concert Band ou Harmonie ou Fanfare ou Brass Band
