Flute and Piano

SKU: IS.FP4052EM

Composed by Jef Maes. Woodwinds - Flute. Metropolis Music Publishers #FP4052EM. Published by Metropolis Music Publishers (IS.FP4052EM).

ISBN 9790365040520.

Belgian composer Jef Joseph Maes (1905 – 1996) often described himself as a modern romantic, and his 1948 Arabesque and Scherzo for flute and piano (written as a concours piece for the Royal Conservatoire Antwerp in Belgium) is a testament to that label. Quite aside from its appeal to flutists as a competition work - with its origins as a concours piece allowing the player to display both technical and musical prowess - the music itself holds touches of Korngold and early Hindemith in its lush melodies and moments of sultry film music. And, though Maes held no truck with most elements of modernism, his clever take on neo-romantic harmony and a healthy touch of humor keeps the piece sounding fresh and appealing. Constructed on the model of more famous Paris Conservatoire pieces - Gaubert's Nocturne et Allegro Scherzando, for example, or Enesco's Cantabile et Presto - the Arabesque and Scherzo revels in the two-movement format. The opening Arabesque allows the flutist to sing, with ornamentation and figurations highlighting the flute's ability to color octave-spanning melody with technique. The Scherzo alternates between action sequences and moments of reverie, but always with an ear towards vivid musicality and clear conversation between flute and piano.

Brass Band - Grade 3

SKU: BT.DHP-1064073-130

Composed by Jan Van der Roost. Concert and Contest Collection Brass Band en Fanfare. Festive and Solemn Music. Score Only. Composed 2006. 12 pages. De Haske Publications #DHP 1064073-130. Published by De Haske Publications (BT.DHP-1064073-130).

Adagio for Brass is full of beautiful lyrical melodies and the warm harmony and full orchestration give the audience and the band the chance to give their thoughts free reign in a contemplative atmosphere. A wonderfully uplifting work suitable for concerts on all occasions and certainly not one to be missed.

Das ruhige und feierliche Adagio zeichnet sich durch melodische Weite und Ausdruckskraft aus. Lyrische Melodien, eine warme Harmonik und die volle Orchestrierung bieten Publikum und Musikern die Gelegenheit, ihren Gedanken in einer besinnlichen Atmosphäre freien Lauf zu lassen. Ein wunderbar aufbauendes Werk, das sich für viele Anlässe eignet.

Adagio for Winds est une ?uvre de commande pour la Fanfare Royale Ridder Jans Zonen de Dadizele en Belgique. Elle a été composée en mémoire de Walther Bekaert (1933-2002) et dédiée An Bekaert. Jan Van der Roost en a réalisé cette sublime orchestration pour Brass Band publiée sous le titre : Adagio for Brass.Le discours musical est serein et profond lâ??instar du célèbre Canterbury Chorale - une ?uvre antérieure de Jan Van der Roost - sans jamais tomber dans un mélodrame exagéré. La structure mélodique est fluide, ample et dâ??une grande puissance expressive. Aucune nuance de tristesse, de ranc?ur ou de révolte sourde nâ??est perceptible. Lamusique est porteuse dâ??espoir mais aussi dâ??une certaine résignation dâ??où lâ??utilisation dâ??un environnement presquâ??exclusivement centré sur la tierce Majeure. Une interprétation en hommage un être cher disparu accentue le souvenir des belles choses. Une interprétation dans un contexte neutre permet de souligner la mélodie lyrique, les harmonies chatoyantes et la richesse de lâ??orchestration. Les musiciens et le public ont ainsi la possibilité de laisser sâ??épanouir leur imagination dans une atmosphère contemplative. Lâ??accord final élargi symbolise dâ??une certaine manière la finitude et lâ??infinitude de la vie. La mort marque la fin de lâ??existence dâ??un être mais ne détruit ni les liens dâ??amour, ni la vie en général.

Music for the installation of royalty has always sought to portray the solemnity and dignity of the ceremony. This regal sounding composition, with its stately melodies and solid harmonic background, depicts the pageantry of a coronation. Emphasizing the eighth note/quarter note relationship, each instrument has ample opportunity to perfect this rhythm, and each takes a turn playing the melody.

A royalist French peasant happens upon a picturbook cheese. Of course, he wants to bring it to the king, which is a difficult undertaking, given the long distance and the need to preserve the condition of the cheese... The happy ending is never in doubt. The unison choir has quite a bit to do, but the text and melodies are quick to learn... the musical accompaniment is kept simple. Even smaller children are sure to enjoy it. (Wurtt. Blatter fur Kirchenmusik 6/98).
