In ‘Latin Dance Party’ William Vean takes us along to sunny seemingly care-free places. Happy faces catchy music delicious drinks are images that come to mind when listening to this ‘feel good’ music which will either get you in a dreamy mood or make you want to step out onto the dance floor. To start we hear the first dance of Cuban origin 'Cha Cha Cha' cheerful romantic playful dance . The Cha Cha Cha is probably the most popular dance. Then we have the slower 'Bossa Nova' (new wave) a dance developed from the Samba rhythms with strong syncopation. We end with the 'Samba'. Samba is party. The samba is a mix of polka Cuban habanera and Africanrhythms born around 1910 in the slums of Rio de Janeiro and every year the leading dance during the exuberant carnival.

for Brass Quintet and Organ (ad lib.)-L?hymne chrétienne Adeste Fideles [Adeste Fidelis] est également connue sous le nom de Prosa In Nativitáte Dómini ou encore Cantique portugais (parce qu?il fut chanté dans la chapelle de l'ambassade du Portugal à Londres). Depuis la fin du XVIIIe siècle Adeste Fideles est chanté après la bénédiction de Noël dans de nombreuses églises françaises et anglaises. Le texte invite tous les croyants à se rendre à Bethléem pour adorer le Sauveur nouveau-né.L?origine du cantique reste un mystère. On mentionne divers noms de poètes. D?aucuns soutiennent qu?il s?agit d?un noël ancien inspiré d?une danse autour de la crèche. On pense également que SaintFrançois d?Assise s?en serait servi pour sa crèche vivante. D?autres attribuent son origine à Saint Bonaventure un prêtre franciscain contemporain de Saint François qui en aurait composé le texte original en latin au XIIIe siècle. Enfin certains historiens affirment qu?Adeste Fideles aurait été écrit par un poète anonyme français sous le règne de Louis XIV.Quoiqu?il en soit il est communément reconnu que les strophes ont été écrites ou découvertes par l?Anglais John Francis Wade (vers 1710-1786) alors qu?il travaillait en tant que chercheur et copiste à Douai en France. La première version imprimée du cantique date des années 1740. Elle fut ensuite intégrée au recueil Cantus Diversipublié en 1751.Catholique laïc John Francis Wade fuit l?Angleterre en proie à des persécutions religieuses. Vers 1731 il copiait des manuscrits de plain-chant au Collège dominicain de Borhem en Flandre. Plus tard il s?installa à Douai dans le Nord de la France forteresse de la foi catholique où le roi d'Espagne Philippe II avait fondé une université en 1559. Wade gagnait sa vie « en copiant et vendant des manuscrits de plain-chant et d?autres œuvres ». Il fut également professeur de latin et de musique sacrée. La notice nécrologique mentionnait l?excellence de son travail de copiste qu?il réalisa pour des chapelles locales ou des

Ruders writes: 'gl0rIA' is subtitled: 'a relique for large chorus and 12 brass-instruments. At the same time it is an exercise for chorus because only vowels do occur or virtually no consonants are heard. The second part of the Missa Ordinarium the Gloria in Exelcis Deo makes the literary basis of 'g10rIA' but I employ only the vowels which in their full context form a 'non-language' - fragments of a tradition. A less dim vision of the 'severed body' appears in the center of the piece where the Domini Fili-section surfaces in its original shape. 'gl0rIA' is a 20th century composer’s hommage to the innocent faith of bygone days and a fanfare in honour of ClaudioMonteverdi; thus the ever present elaborations of the introduction to the Vespro Della Beate Vergine. Superimposed on the 'torso' of Latin I wedge in a quotation from the Spanish renaissance poet Gonzalo de Berceo’s 'Duelo de la Virgen' a surrealistic Lamento in which the Jews sent by Pilate to stand guard at the tomb of Christ mock and ridicule Maria Jesu mother. Thus a shadow has been cast over the jubilant religious appraisal of the past which today’s knowledge of atrocities and enormities engineered by Mankind has - alas - made so hard to repeat.

Explore different settings of the Medieval Latin carol 'In Dulci Jubilo' via this solid arrangement by James Curnow. Opening with an exquisite 'Brass Choir' section a la Michael Praetorius (1571-1621) and progressing through a 'Woodwind Choir' section in the later J.S.Bach style WITH SWEET JUBILATION is wonderful 'style study' material. The grace of the early masters and the clearly focused unifying concept of the arrangement by James Curnow combine to make this addition to the Curnow Music Press 'Splendor of Christmas Series' a wonderful holiday experience for the young band.

For many years Peter Kleine Schaars’ jazz quartet provided sparkle and energy for various festivities and other occasions. If required the ensemble could alternate jazz repertoire with pop and latin music too. Their wide experience taught the musicians that an hour of unbeatable repertoire is the perfect end to every swinging party. Based on this practical knowledge Kleine Schaars has chosen his favourite pop pieces and arranged them in this animated medley entitled That’s the Way (I like Them).

This hymn is sung to the old English tune Kingsfold. Its text is thought to be a sonnet written in Latin by a devout Spanish Catholic. Douglas Smith has arranged this piece for 2 B flat trumpet/cornet a trombone/baritone/horn in F and a trombone/baritonewith optional tuba.

The Samba is a Latin American dance which is mostly associated with parties as a result of the fast tempo in which it is usually played. ‘Sumba Samba’ forms an exception to this rule. In order to get this samba to swing it is important to stick to the tempo prescribed. ‘Sumba Samba’ starts with a motif which will play an important role throughout the piece. This motif can be heard in the first notes of the ‘refrain’ and as said before has been used in the introduction as well as in the transition after the middle part (letter G). Furthermore it plays an important role in the middle part itself (letter E) in which the samba has momentarily disappeared and acompletely different atmosphere has been created. At letter H we pick up where we left off with the samba and swing to the end of this composition.

A classic melody with Latin-American overtones and numerous changes of tempo. This composition gives the conductor freedom to bring in various percussion instruments is wonderful for creating a mood and the orchestration is full of stunning effects. Music that is a pleasure to play!

Isaac Watts (1674-1748) wrote the lyrics of 'There is a land of pure delight' and is known as the 'Father of English Hymnody'. Watts was for the English hymn as Ambrose was for the medieval Latin hymn and what Martin Luther was for the German chorale. He wrote about 750 songs and some of them survide the ravahes of time. (Joy To The World When I survey the wondrous cross I sing the Mighty Power of God) 'There is a Land of Pure Delight' is usually in English-speaking areas sung on Luther Orlando Emerson's melody ('Ascription'). Here is used a traditional English melody ('Mendip'). There is a land of pure delight Wheresaints immortal Reign. Infinite day excludes the night And pleasures banish pain.
