Along with the movement In the King's Hall, The Homage March from Act III of Sigurd Jorsalfar remains one of the most popular Scandinavian pieces of classical music. This arrangement has, once again, has been skilfully crafted by Wil van der Beek for a younger Concert Band and will be a popular addition to any concert.

Sigurd Jorsalfar ist die Buhnenmusik zum gleichnamigen Drama des beruhmten norwegischen Dichters Bjornsterne Bjornson. Das Werk basiert auf einer altnordischen Sage von zwei Brudern, die beide um den Konigsthron kampfen und einer Frau, die den Streit schlichten soll. Wil van der Beek bearbeitete den feierlichen Huldigungsmarsch aus diesem Werk fur Blasorchester.

La Marche d'Hommage de l'acte III de la suite orchestrale Sigurd Jorsalfar d'Edvard Grieg, se trouve a l'oppose des marches au caractere sombre ou martial. L'introduction en forme de fanfare est superbement lyrique. Puis vient l'exposition d'un theme joue cantabile. L'instrumentation developpe quelque peu le theme initial avec des accents rythmiques a la basse. Le theme de la marche est ainsi amorce. Un trio central, lumineux et serein, precede le retour du theme de marche au tutti.

This volume from the popular Cellissimo series contains 30 entertaining recital pieces, mostly from the Romantic period. In additionto three original serenades by Jacques Offenbach, Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov and the French composer Mel Bonis, the volume contains beautiful character pieces, mostly one-movement forms such as berceuse, elegy, humoresque, meditation, melody, nocturne, romance, tarantella, valse de concert and much more . Expressive lyrical pieces are represented as well as cheerful and virtuoso works. In addition to original works, there are numerous arrangements of popular works, including Schumann's Traumerei, Grieg's Anitras Tanz, Fauré's Après un rêve, Elgar's Salut d'amour or Rachmaninoff's Vocalise - all pieces that are well suited as concert and encore pieces . The volume also contains rarities and new discoveries, including original works by cello virtuosos such as Dotzauer, Offenbach, Goltermann, van Goens and Trowell, as well as works by composers Mel Bonis, Juliette Dantin, Ethel Harraden and Claudine Smidt. The level of difficulty is demanding and is aimed at advanced cellists. Many pieces use the 5th-7th position, others have passages in a simple thumb position, sometimes also with high harmonics. They are therefore very good practice examples for advanced users who want to apply sophisticated techniques to beautiful examples of literature. Last but not least, the requirements for expression and design offer plenty of room for cellist and musical development.

A new perspective on the final words of Christ is visited in this pensive offering. The Greek phrase spoken on the cross translated as “It is finished” was often used in business transactions of Biblical times, meaning “paid in full.” The poignant realization is the heart of this bittersweet Holy Week anthem. Incorporating the sad “Solveig's Song” theme and the sorrowful strains of the well-known ABERYSTWYTH hymn are masterful touches.
