This work presents the listener with the wondrous grandeur of one of the great mountain ranges in America, the Sierra Nevada. When the music begins, the listener is greeted with the awakening of an early morning in the Sierras, complete with a mysterious, foggy mist that creates a feeling of complete stillness and peace with the world. As the mist slowly dissipates, hidden forms begin to make their presence known and gradually become a tremendous panorama of grand snow-covered mountain peaks. Grandiose and immense in all their beauty and glory, they stand before you with a sense of undeniable power, extending in all directions as far as the eye can see. Upon closer inspection one can imagine the circling golden eagles, the regal elk and royal stags, all lazily wandering the hills and canyons of conifers that stand tall, reaching for the passing clouds in hopes of gaining a few rays of life-giving sunshine and moisture. Look in another direction and you will see the immense rolling hillsides of colourful wild flowers, fluttering butterflies, birds darting about, sparkling waterfalls and all critters existing in harmony. After the day's activities the sun begins to slip below the horizon, the mist returns, and all living things prepare for another still night of sleep, serenity and the warmth of their secure bedding places.

Zion is the third and final installment of a series of works for Wind Ensemble inspired by national parks in the western United States, collectively called Three Places in the West. As in the other two works (The Yellowstone Fires and Arches), it is my intention to convey more an impression of the feelings I've had in Zion National Park in Utah than an attempt at pictorial description. Zion is a place with unrivalled natural grandeur, being a sort of huge box canyon in which the traveler is constantly overwhelmed by towering rock walls on every side of him -- but it is also a place with a human history, having been inhabited by several tribes of native Americans before the arrival of the Mormon settlers in the mid-19th century. By the time the Mormons reached Utah, they had been driven all the way from New York State through Ohio and, with tragic losses, through Missouri. They saw Utah in general as a place nobody wanted, but they were nonetheless determined to keep it to themselves. Although Zion Canyon was never a Mormon Stronghold, the people who reached it and claimed it (and gave it its present name) had been through extreme trials. It is the religious fervor of these persecuted people that I was able to draw upon in creating Zion as a piece of music. There are two quoted hymns in the work: Zion's Walls (which Aaron Copland adapted to his own purposes in both is Old American Songs and the opera The Tender Land) and Zion's Security, which I found in the same volume in which Copland found Zion's Walls -- that inexhaustible storehouse of 19th-century hymnody called The Sacred Harp. My work opens with a three-verse setting of Zion's Security, a stern tune in F-sharp minor which is full of resolve. (The words of this hymn are resolute and strong, rallying the faithful to be firm, and describing the city of our God they hope to establish). This melody alternates with a fanfare tune, whose origins will be revealed in later music, until the second half of the piece begins: a driving rhythmic ostinato based on a 3/4-4/4 alternating meter scheme. This pauses at its height to restate Zion's Security one more time, in a rather obscure setting surrounded by freely shifting patterns in the flutes, clarinets, and percussion -- until the sun warms the ground sufficiently for the second hymn to appear. Zion's Walls is set in 7/8, unlike Copland's 9/8-6/8 meters (the original is quite strange, and doesn't really fit any constant meter), and is introduced by a warm horn solo. The two hymns vie for attention from here to the end of the piece, with the glowingly optimistic Zion's Walls finally achieving prominence. The work ends with a sense of triumph and unbreakable spirit. Zion was commissioned in 1994 by the wind ensembles of the University of Texas at Arlington, the University of Texas at Austin, and the University of Oklahoma. It is dedicated to the memory of Aaron Copland.

This piece was commissioned by Oyama City Symphonic Wind Orchestra to commemorate their 30th Anniversary. The composer was inspired by Oyama City’s slogan, ‘water, green and earth’, to write this festive fanfare. Following a gentle opening a fanfareleads to a magnificent chorale. This turns into a quickly moving energetic section with irregular rhythm. This is a short but dramatic piece that will make a brilliant concert opener.Een indrukwekkend en kleurrijk openingswerk waarvoor de componist zich heeft laten inspireren door de Japanse stad Oyama. Beim Komponieren dieses Werkes ließ sich Satoshi Yagisawa von den Schlagwörtern Wasser“, grün“ und Erde“ aus dem Motto der auftraggebenden Stadt Oyama inspirieren. Mit einer sanften Einleitung, nach der die Fanfare zu einem prachtvollen Choral anschwillt, um dann ein kraftvolles, schnelles Thema hervorzubringen, bietet Fanfare - The Benefaction from Sky and Mother Earth alles, was es zu einer wirkungsvollen Konzerteröffnung braucht. l’introduction, expressive et douce, succède une fanfare qui chemine vers l’exposition d’un magnifi que thème choral.

Il brano diventa poi più energico e veloce. Un brano breve, ma di grande impatto, tipico dello stile di Yagisawa.

Also available for euphonium and piano (HL44010860) Scaramouche was commissioned by Katrina Marzella with a grant from the BBC Performing Arts Fund. Undoubtedly the finest baritone player of her generation, Ms. Marzella was granted an education bursary from the BBC Performing Arts Fund (as a result of winning BBC Radio 2's Young Brass Soloist of the Year in 2004), which allowed her to commission a series of new works for euphonium. Scaramouche continues Sparke's series of works that highlights the Italian theatre tradition of commedia dell'arte. Like its predecessors Pantomime and Harlequin, Scaramouche draws on the contrasting moods of pathos and comedy characterized by the symbolic happy/sad masks of European theatre. A slow, expressive ballad followed by a spirited vivace allows the composer to exploit both the lyrical and technical sides of the instrument, and the soloist to display its full capabilities.

Dutch composer, artist and poet Adriaen Valerius is mostly remembered today for his collection of 79 songs for voice and lute or cittern, published posthumously in 1626. Philip Sparke has taken one melody from this collection that tells of the War of Independence with Spain. The beautiful slow melody is followed by a series of lively variations to form an extremely entertaining piece that will bring great joy to all who perform and listen to it. De dichter Adriaen Valerius (ca. 1575-1625) is vooral bekend om zijn collectie van 79 liederen voor zang en luit of citer (postuum gepubliceerd in 1626): de Nederlandtsche Gedenck-clanck. Het boek is een verzameling van degedichten die hij had gemaakt op reeds bestaande populaire melodieën. Het is een van de vroegst gepubliceerde bronnen van het Wilhelmus. Voor Valerius Variations is de bekende melodie gebruikt van Merck toch hoe sterck,waarvan de tekst vertelt over de Nederlandse onafhankelijkheidsoorlog tegen Spanje.Variationen über eine Melodie von Adriaen Valerius Philip Sparke entdeckte die Melodie, die er in Valerius Variations verwendete, in einer Sammlung des holländischen Poeten und Künstlers Adriaen Valerius aus dem 16. Jahrhundert. In Valerius’ Sammlung gehörte sie zu einem Lied über den holländischen Unabhängigkeitskrieg mit Spanien, Valerius selbst nennt als Quelle ein Lied namens Comediantendans und zuvor wurde sie vermutlich schon von englischen Seeleuten gesungen. Philip Sparke setzte die bewegte Geschichte dieser offensichtlich über Jahrhunderte allseits beliebten Melodie mit dieser Variationsreihe fort.L’artista e poeta olandese Adriaen (Adrianus) Valerius (ca. 1575-1625) deve la sua notoriet ad una raccolta di 79 canti poetici per voce, liuto o chitarra raccolti in un’opera postuma pubblicata nel 1626 con il nome di Nederlantsche Gedenck-clank (Memorie sonore olandesi). Valerius Variations è basato su un canto patriottico olandese il cui testo evoca la guerra d’Indipendenza contro la Spagna. Questa melodia deriva in effetti da un antico canto marino inglese. Adriaen Valerius gli diede il nome di Comediantendans (La danza dei commedianti).

Berlioz based his sparkling overture Le Carnaval Romain on themesfrom his opera Benvenuto Cellini. The opera had been performed a fewtimes in Paris, a number of years before, with little success. The overturehowever, quickly became very popular and is still today a great a crowdpleaser. The energetic vitality of the work - with an Italian touch- is certainly present in this skilfully written transcription by TohruTakahashi. Hector Berlioz (1803-1869) baseerde zijn sprankelende ouverture Le Carnaval Romain - die verscheen in 1844 - op thema's uit zijn opera Benvenuto Cellini, namelijk de tenoraria uit de eerste akte en de carnavalscene uitde tweede akte. De opera was een aantal jaren daarvoor een paar keer opgevoerd in Parijs, met weinig succes. De ouverture werd echter al snel bijzonder geliefd. Een snelle opening leidt een langzaam deel in, waarna een spannendallegro volgt. De energieke vitaliteit - met een Italiaans tintje - spat van het werk af, ook in deze vakkundig geschreven transcriptie van Tohru Takahashi.Die strahlende Ouverture Le Carnaval von Hector Berlioz greift auf Themen aus der einige Jahre zuvor uraufgefuhrten Oper Benevenuto Cellini zuruck. Damals war die Ouverture erfolgreicher als die Oper selbst und hat - zu Recht - bis heute nicht an Popularitat verloren. Die energiegeladene Lebendigkeit dieses Werkes mit italienischem Flair ist in der geschickt geschriebenen Transkription von Tohru Takahashi absolut prasent. Le compositeur, chef d'orchestre et critique musical Hector Berlioz (1803-1869) fut un des plus grands innovateurs et plus eminents representants du romantisme musical francais.La semillante ouverture du Carnaval romain (1844), reprend quelques themes de l'opera malchanceux Benvenuto Cellini et notamment le duo initial (Acte I) et la grande scene du Carnaval (Acte II). Lorsque Benvenuto Cellini fut offert au public parisien en 1838, l'œuvre fut conspuee. Au bout de quelques representations, l'opera fut abandonne, mais son ouverture connut un immense succes.La frenesie du bref passage introductif est absorbee par une phase lente. L'Allegro qui suitdechaine la liesse du Carnaval. L'extraordinaire vitalite de l'œuvre originale, coloree d'une touche italienne, se revele aussi dans cette brillante transcription pour Orchestre d'Harmonie signee Tohru Takahashi.

The opening of this unique work features a gentle and serene theme traded between clarinet, oboe and trumpet soloists played over a lush harmonic background. The mood shifts abruptly, however, as the â??tiradeâ? begins! A predominant timpani pattern helps propel this section through a series of angular passages, driving rhythmic figures, a jazz-tinged clarinet solo, and ultimately blossoming into a triumphant and glorious conclusion. Dur: 3:30 (Grade 3-1/2).

In late 1950s Brazil, a new music style influenced by jazz arose out of the samba: the bossa nova. This composition by Peter Kleine Schaars sounds just like a bossa nova should sound: catchy, warm, relaxed and with a touch ofsensuality. Starting with a small group of players with only one soloist and minimal accompaniment, this bossa nova leads to a style-conscious grand orchestration for the whole ensemble, in which all voices participate equally. Inaddition to the rhythmic cells 2 and 4 of the Brazilian 2-3 clave, the cells 7 and 10 in particular are featured.Eind jaren vijftig van de vorige eeuw ontstond in Brazilië vanuit de door jazz be nvloede samba een nieuwe muziekstijl: de bossanova. Deze compositie van Peter Kleine Schaars klinkt zoals het een bossanova betaamt: prettig in hetgehoor liggend, warm, rustig en een tikje sensueel. Vanuit een kleine bezetting met slechts één solist en minimale begeleiding mondt deze bossanova uit in een stijlbewuste grootse orkestratie voor het gehele ensemble waarin allestemmen gelijkwaardig aan bod komen. Naast de ritmische cellen 2 en 4 van de Braziliaanse 2-3-clave worden met name ook de cellen 7 en 10 behandeld. In den späten 1950er Jahren entstand aus der Samba ein neuer, vom Jazz beeinflusster Musikstil: der Bossa nova. Diese Komposition von Peter Kleine Schaars klingt so, wie ein Bossa nova klingen sollte: eingängig, warm, entspanntund mit einem Hauch von Sinnlichkeit. Beginnend mit einer kleinen Gruppe von Musikern, die nur aus einem Solisten und minimaler Begleitung besteht, führt dieser Bossa nova zu einer stilvollen großartigen Orchestrierung für dasgesamte Ensemble, an der alle Stimmen gleichermaßen beteiligt werden. Neben den Rhythmus-Einheiten 2 und 4 des brasilianischen 2-3-Clave werden insbesondere die Rhythmus-Einheiten 7 und 10 verwendet. la fin des années 1950, au Brésil, la samba donna naissance un nouveau style de musique influencé par le jazz : la bossa-nova. Les sonorités de cette composition de Peter Kleine Schaars reproduisent exactement celles de labossa-nova : chaudes, accrocheuses, décontractées, avec une touche de sensualité. Débutant avec un petit groupe de musiciens fournissant un accompagnement sobre un unique soliste, cette pièce se métamorphose en une grandeorchestration bossa-novesque pour l’ensemble entier, laquelle participent toutes les voix de manière égale. Outre les cellules rythmiques 2 et 4 de la clave brésilienne 2-3, les cellules 7 et 10 sont particulièrement présentesici.

Roger Zare is living every young composer's dream. At a tender age, he has already been lauded by the best, and his compositions continue to earn awards. Green Flash, his first publication with Theodore Presser Company, was written in 2007 for the USC Thornton Symphony, received a BMI Student Composer award in 2007, was chosen to be read at the 2008 American Composers Orchestra Underwood New Music Readings, won the ASCAP Rudolf Nissim Prize in 2009, and has now won the 2012 Symphony in C Young Composers' Competition. For more about Green Flash and a YouTube video of the premiere performance, see the composer's website (www.rogerzare.com/greenflash.htm).A “green flash†is a rare atmospheric phenomenon that occurs as a sunset reaches its end. If conditions are just right, then a spark of green will hover on the horizon for a fleeting moment as the sun disappears. I first witnessed this subtle effect in Florida in 2005. Seeing the mythical event for the first time inspiredthis composition. Green Flash is a musical journey from daybreak to sunset. It focuses on the manipulation of colors and textures throughout its five sections. The musical events are designed to paint a picture of various scenes during the day. The piece begins with the heartbeat of the world emerging from the silentdarkness of the night. As night transitions to dawn, waves of color propagate from the repeating low C, building up through the harmonic series to become the vibrant colors of sunrise. Eventually all twelve notes of the chromatic scale are sounding together. Abruptly, a morning fog engulfs the scene. Out of the mist rises the only melodic theme in the work, played by a solo English horn, and later taken up by other solo winds. Once the fog dissipates, the sky fills with the playful dance of wispy cirrus clouds. A rainbow-like halo surrounds the sun, adding a burst of color to the scene. This carefree, optimistic cloud dance is invaded by a menacing front of cumulonimbus clouds. A storm rages at a frantic pace, but in its dying breath yields the most glorious of sunsets. Only as the last glint of sunlight disappears below the horizon, a faint sparkle of green lingers in the atmosphere.
