Anton Bruckner (1824-1896). Par BRUCKNER ANTON / DOSS THOMAS (Arr.). Anton Bruckner (b. 4.9.1824, Ansfelden, d. 11.10.1896, Vienna) didn?t have it easy. Throughout his life, the Austrian composer was plagued by self-doubt. Anton Bruckner came from a simple, rural background. After the death of his father, he was accepted as a choirboy at the monastery of Sankt Florian in 1837. After several years as a school assistant and his own organ and piano studies, he first worked as organist in St. Florian, then from 1855 as cathedral organist in Linz. Introduced to music theory and instrumentation by Simon Sechter and Otto Kitzler, he discovered Richard Wagner as an artistic role model, whom he admired throughout his life and also visited several times in Bayreuth. In 1868 Anton Bruckner became professor of basso continuo, counterpoint and organ at the Vienna Conservatory; ten years later court organist; and in 1891 finally honorary doctor of the University of Vienna. He was considered an important organ virtuoso of his era, but had to wait a long time for recognition as a composer. It was not until Symphony No.7 in E major, composed between 1881 and 1883, with the famous Adagio written under the effects of Wagner's death, that he achieved the recognition he had hoped for, even if he was reluctant to accept it given his inclination towards scepticism and self-criticism. Anton Bruckner was a loner who did not want to follow a particular school or doctrine. He composed numerous sacred vocal works, such as his three masses, the Missa Solemnis in B flat minor (1854), the Te Deum (1881-84) and numerous motets. As a symphonic composer, he wrote a total of nine symphonies and many symphonic studies from 1863 onwards, tending to revise completed versions several times over. Bruckner's orchestral works were long considered unplayable, but in fact were merely exceptionally bold for the tonal language of their time, uniting traditions from Beethoven through Wagner to folk music, on the threshold between late Romanticism and Modernism. Anton Bruckner composed about 40 motets during his lifetime, the earliest a setting of Pange lingua around 1835, and the last, Vexilla regis, in 1892. Thomas Doss has compiled some of these motets in this volume for symphonic wind orchestra. These motets show many characteristics of personal expression, especially Bruckner's colourful harmony in the earlier works, which is in places aligned with Franz Schubert (changes between major and minor; and movements in thirds). Later works are characterised by many components which, in addition to the expanded stature of the movements, include above all a sense of the instrumentation as an outward phenomenon and the harmony as a compositional feature that works more internally. Some aspects of Bruckner's work are the result of his long period of study, which familiarised him not only with the tradition of his craft, but also gave him insights into the 'modernity' of his time in such composers as Wagner, Liszt and Berlioz. From this developed his personal standpoint, which always pursues the connection between the old and the new. / Date parution : 2023-08-12/ Répertoire / Concert Band/Harmonie

The year 2004 marked the 100th anniversary ofthe death of Antonin Dvorák. In 1879 Dvorákwrote this Polonaise as a commission for thecommittee organising the festivities for theirfamous national dance festival. Many famousCzech composers wrote dances specially for thisevent. This Polonaise in three movements with itsfine melody lines deserves to be more than just anoccasional work however. Wil van der Beek?sconcert band arrangement does justice to theoriginal piece.

Mike Sweeney's innovative arrangement for Wind band uses several themes form Dvorak's most famous symphony including the beautiful Going Home theme. Introduce the music of Antonin Dvorak with this setting.

for optional Soprano and Concert Band-En 1880 Antonín Dvorák compose un cycle de mélodies inspirées par la vie rurale auquel il donne le titre de Mélodies tziganes Op. 55. Als die alte Mutter (Songs My Mother Taught Me - Chansons que ma mère me chantait) est le quatrième des sept chants du cycle. Cette mélodie profonde et émouvante souligne toutes les inflexions du poème en langue allemande du célèbre poète tchèque Adolf Heyduk. Plusieurs générations de brillantes sopranos dont Nellie Melba Joan Sutherland et Renée Fleming ont interprété et enregistré cette mélodie si bien qu?elle est connue d?un large public.Cette édition combine deux versions : une version purement instrumentale et uneadaptation pour Soprano solo et Orchestre d?Harmonie. Les deux versions ont été réalisées par Tohru Takahashi.

This hauntingly beautiful melody is probably the mostfamous to come from the pen of Czech composer Antonin Dvorák. Stephen Bulla?s transcription of?Largo? from the ?New World Symphony? will helpyour students focus on expressive playing and bringgreat delight to all with the soothing nostalgicmelody.

Graduale. Par BRUCKNER ANTON / DOSS THOMAS (Arr.). Thomas Doss a arrangé pour orchestre d?harmonie cette transcription exaltante et très abordable de Christus factus est (WAB 11), le motet écrit par Bruckner en 1884. Après la Messe für den Gründonnerstag (1844) et un motet pour ch?ur mixte à huit voix, trois trombones et instruments à cordes ad libitum (1873), cette ?uvre est la troisième mise en musique du graduel (chant grégorien) du même nom. L?influence de Wagner se manifeste clairement. / Date parution : 2023-08-12/ Répertoire / Concert Band/Harmonie

Tout le monde se souvient du Troisième Homme (1949) et de cette étrange et fascinante musique qui fut la révélation du film. Anton Karas (1906-1985) son compositeur et interprète traversa le monde du spectacle comme un véritable météore. Sa bande originale jouée à la cithare lui apporta la gloire et la richesse. Le thème du film se classa durant onze semaines en tête des meilleures ventes de disques aux États-Unis entre avril et juillet 1950. Le film fut couronné du Grand prix du Festival de Cannes 1949 et de l?Oscar de la meilleure photographie 1951.

from opus 46-En 1878 Antonín Dvorák composa une série de huit danses slaves. Contrairement à Brahms Dvorák s?est contenté d?emprunter aux danses de son pays natal leurs caractéristiques rythmiques. Wil van der Beek a réalisé un arrangement de deux d?entre elles : la danse n° 7 une vive skocná dont le thème mélodique est écrit en forme de canon et la danse n° 8 fougueuse et énergique qui est menée presto. La partie centrale est apaisée. Le _x001C_finale est vif et puissant.
