Marsyas ist ein Satyr aus den Metamorphosen des griechischen Dichters Ovid (43 v. Chr.-17 n. Chr.). Er findet eine von der Göttin Athene weggeworfene Flöte und spielt bald so gut, dass ihn Apollo zu einem musikalischen Wettstreit zwischen Flöte und Lyra herausfordert. Durch einen üblen Trick verliert Marsyas und erleidet eine grausame Strafe. Diese Sage bot eine ausgezeichnete Vorlage für ein spannendes Solowerk für Flöte, in welchem auch die Harfe (Lyra) erklingt.Si les récits de métamorphoses furent très populaires dans l’Antiquité gréco-romaine, le recueil du poète latin Ovide [43 av. J.-C./17 apr. J.-C.] est de loin le plus célèbre. Les quinze livres des Métamorphoses racontent la formation du monde et les transformations légendaires des dieux et des hommes en animaux, en plantes ou en objets. Parmi les nombreuses histoires de métamorphoses relatées par Ovide, on trouve celle de Marsyas, un satyre originaire de Célènes en Phrygie. Fils d’Hyagnis, considéré comme l’inventeur de l’harmonie phrygienne, Marsyas excellait dans la musique. Un jour, Athéna fit une fl te double et en joua un banquet des dieux. Tournée en dérisionpar Héra et Aphrodite, et ayant constaté elle-même, en voyant le reflet de son visage dans l’eau, que l’instrument, quand elle en jouait, lui déformait les traits, elle jeta la fl te en maudissant quiconque la ramasserait. Cette malédiction frappa le satyre Marsyas qui la trouva et en joua magnifiquement, au grand plaisir des paysans des contrées phrygiennes qui l’écoutaient et qui prétendirent que le dieu Apollon en personne n’aurait pu mieux faire avec sa lyre. Apollon entra dans une colère formidable et proposa l’insolent satyre un concours musical dont le vainqueur pourrait faire subir au vaincu le ch timent de son choix. Les Muses et le roi Midas, choisis comme juges, ne réussirent pas départager les concurrents. Alors, Apollon joua de la lyre l’envers et demanda Marsyas d’en faire autant avec son instrument. Cela était impossible. Marsyas n’y parvint pas, et Apollon fut déclaré vainqueur. Il se vengea du satyre de la plus cruelle façon : il l’attacha un pin et l’écorcha vif.Certains racontent qu’Apollon, se repentant de sa vengeance, métamorphosa en fleuve le corps de Marsyas. D’autres prétendent que le sang de Marsyas ou les larmes versées par les nymphes et les satyres, privés des enchantements de sa fl te, formèrent le fleuve de Phrygie qui porte son nom. / Marsyas fut créé le 22 juillet 2005 Bordes sur Arize en Ariège par le.

From the call of the open seas to the wistful dance section, this piece will open the imagination of your students and audiences.  Very playable by young bands, the piece features a short opening ostinato that develops into a tone cluster and leads to the ominous sounds of the brass and percussion, which depict the slow lumbering ship on the dangerous, open waters. The piece continues through a more lyrical second section before a dramatic return of the opening material to close out this contest/festival style piece.From the call of the open seas to the wistful dance section, this piece will open the imagination of your students and audiences. Very playable by young bands, the piece features a short opening ostinato that develops into a tone cluster. This leads to the ominous sounds of the brass and percussion, which depict the slow lumbering ship on the dangerous, open waters. After a quickly paced melody in the low register for the clarinets, the piece gives way to an exciting tutti section that features horns and saxes on an answering countermelody.The second section is a dance that starts with low reeds and a flute solo, but develops into a full band Spanish-sounding dance, with melody in many different places. The recap is a reverse of the beginning section and again loosely represents the danger of life on the high seas.The short ostinato that is used at the beginning and in some transitional moments is based on the beginning notes of Irish Tune from County Derry, a favorite of J. C. Sykes, who this piece honors. Mr. Sykes gave a lifetime to teaching music to band students in North Carolina. The first four notes in clarinet 1, the first four in flute 1 and the first four in clarinet 2 make up the first phrase from that beautiful melody. Just something to get students thinking about composition in a new way.

Earthrise is the name of an iconic NASA photograph, taken on December 24, 1968 from the Apollo 8 spacecraft while orbiting the Moon. Composer Steven Pyter depicts this historical event with the evocative tone poem for developing bands. A flute solo (cued in other instruments if needed) floats above rich sonorities. The flute's melody is passed around the band and eventually is accompanied by sparkling aleatoric woodwinds. The Apollo 8 spacecraft crests the moon's horizon and planet Earth is visible in the vastness of space. Earthrise is correlated with Tradition of Excellence Book 2, page 34.

The Voice on the Mountain was written for Mike Veak, a band director who dedicated 30 years of his life to teaching instrumental music in Lincoln, Nebraska. Nolan Schmit begins the piece with a flute solo representing a solitary voice on a mountain. The voice begins to build in strength and intensity as it travels down the mountain, is heard by others and is communicated to distant lands. This is a musical metaphor for a teacher - a solitary voice - who impacts generations of students. This is really a tribute to all band directors. A dramatic setting with an explosive ending.
