Inspired by a modern turbine wind farm, this excellent concert overture is extremely effective and accessible. Interesting effects recreate the sound of gusting winds moving from one side of the stage to the other. A wonderful way to incorporate an overture-style work on your program without having to resort to the generic overture form or sound!

This musical portrait of a picturesque harbor town on the Irish coast seeks to communicate the feeling of serenity that would accompany sitting on the dock and staring out to sea. While musically satisfying, the piece's phrasing demands are very accessible. Subtle ocean drum and ship's bell sounds come together with a beautiful melody and creative contrapuntal writing to create a moving work for developing ensembles.

La Traviata is een van de bekendste opera’s van Giuseppe Verdi. Het verhaal geeft het conflict tussen vrije liefde en de burgerlijke moraal weer. De jonge dichter Alfredo en de Parijse courtisane Violetta worden verliefd op elkaar.Ze zijn een tijdlang gelukkig samen, maar Violetta geeft Alfredo op verzoek van diens vader op om de eer van zijn familie te redden. Pas als het te laat is, worden de geliefden herenigd:Violetta lijdt aan tbc en sterft in de armenvan haar minnaar. La Traviata Highlights bestaat uit drie delen, die uitvoerbaar zijn als één groot werk, maar ook afzonderlijk kunnen worden gespeeld. Er zijn veel mooie dansmelodieën, evenals een aantal prachtige, ontroerendearia’s uit de opera La Traviata in verwerkt.

La Traviata Highlights besteht aus drei Sätzen, die als ein langes Werk, aber auch getrennt voneinander gespielt werden können. Im ersten Satz folgt auf eine stürmische Einführung eine Art Tarantella - diese Musik stammt aus dem Finale des zweiten Akts der Oper. Der zweite Satz ist das weltberühmte Vorspiel zum ersten Akt; es weist einen vertraulichen und etwas rührenden Charakter auf. Den Schluss dieser Bearbeitung bildet das berühmte Trinklied aus dem ersten Akt mit seiner fröhlichen, eingängigen Musik voller Lebensfreude.Ein echtes Highlight für Ihr Konzert!

La Traviata, un des plus célèbres opéras de Giuseppe Verdi, est inspiré du drame La Dame aux camélias d’Alexandre Dumas fils. Jalonnée de superbes mélodies et d’airs sublimes, la musique de La Traviata possède un charme intemporel. La Traviata Highlights reprend quelques-uns des plus grands moments de l’opéra dont le Prélude de l’Acte I, une tarentelle extraite du Finale de l’Acte II, et la célèbre chanson boire Brindisi qui clôt l’oeuvre dans la joie, la brillance et l’exubérance.

Soaring is a mode of flight in which height is gained slowly by using air that is moving upwards. Written for music educator’s Randy Heuvelman’s 30 years of service to the Woodland (Illinois) School District, Soaring paints a music portrait of dedication, compassion and intensity, all aspects of this educator’s tenure. A slower middle section alternating between choirs of woodwinds and brass paints a serene portrait with lush harmonies and soaring countermelodies. The extensive percussion scoring utilizes timbres that add and complement the completed musical setting. Soaring is truly one of David’s best works.
