This arrangement of the popular Polovtsian Dances by Russian composer Borodin contains seven dances from the original manuscript, some of which have been used in the musical Kismet, as well as being performed by such famous names as Tony Bennett and Bing Crosby. Includes a solo for snare drum! Masamicz Amono bewerkte de ´Polovetser Dansen´ van de rus Alexander Borodin voor harmonieorkest. Borodin begon in 1869 aan de opera, Prins Igor, volgens sommigen zijn voornaamste werk. De opera bevat deze Polovetser Dansen,die meestal als een zelfstandig stuk wordt uitgevoerd en in deze vorm waarschijnlijk zijn meest bekende compositie is. Bij zijn dood was de opera niet volledig, daar hij onvoldoende tijd had voor componeren, gezien zijn werkals scheikundige. De opera werd postuum afgemaakt door Nikolaj Rimski-Korsakov en Aleksandr Glazoenov.Masamicz Amano nahm sich die beliebten Polovetzer Tänze des russischen Komponisten Alexander Borodin vor, die auch schon im Musical Kismet verwendet und als Lied von Tony Bennet, Bing Crosby und den Four Aces interpretiert wurden. Amano schuf daraus ein überzeugendes Arrangement für Blasorchester, in dem die Snare Drum solistisch glänzen darf. Les Danses polovtsiennes offrent l’exemple le plus spectaculaire de l’exotisme musical russe, d’une sensualité pre, sauvage, et d’une rare virtuosité orchestrale. Ce divertissement dansé et chanté en plusieurs épisodes, quintessence de l'opéra Le Prince Igor (1879), contient tout ce qui suscita la faveur de l'Europe fin XIXe : désir d'ailleurs, attraction pour un Orient plus rêvé que réel. Masamicz Amano en a réalisé une version étonnante pour Orchestre d’Harmonie avec un délicieux solo de caisse claire.Le Polovtsian Dances offrono l’esempio più spettacolare dell’esotismo musicale russo, fatto di una sensualit selvaggia e di una rara virtuosit orchestrale. Questo divertimento ballato e cantato in vari episodi, quintessenza dell’opera Il Principe Igor (1879), contiene tutto ciò che l’Europa del XIX secolo adora: desiderio di posti lontani, attrazione per un oriente più sognato che reale. L’arrangiamento di Masamicz Amano propone un delizioso assolo per rullante.

Jan de Haan took as a starting point for Music for a Solemnity an old custom from the Dutch town of Hoogeveen, by which the faithful are called to church with drums. It was also inspired by the music of John Williams. This unusual combination has resulted in a solemn work in which old traditional methods are united with modern rhythms and melodic lines. Voor Music for a Solemnity liet Jan de Haan zich enerzijds inspireren door de eeuwenoude traditie in de Drentse stad Hoogeveen om met trommels tot de kerkgang op te roepen en anderzijds door de muziek van de succesvolle Amerikaansecomponist John Williams. Deze bijzondere combinatie resulteerde in een feestelijk werk met ritmische patronen en melodische lijnen die getuigen van respect voor Williams’ oeuvre.Zu Music for a Solemnity ließ sich der Komponist einerseits vom alten Brauch der niederländischen Stadt Hoogeveen, mit Trommeln zum Kirchgang zu rufen, und andererseits von der Musik von John Williams inspirieren. Diese ungewöhnliche Kombination mündete in ein festliches Werk, in welchem sich alte Tradition in schönster Weise mit modernen Rhythmen und melodischen Linien vereinen. Il y a quatre siècles, l’église de la ville d’Hoogeveen aux Pays-Bas n’avait pas de carillon. Les fidèles décidèrent de se rassembler pour le culte dominical au son d’un tambour. Aujourd’hui, Hoogeveen possède plusieurs carillons mais continue d’honorer cette tradition ancienne. Music for a Solemnity (Musique pour une occasion solennelle) est une oeuvre festive en hommage au tambour d’Hoogeveen. Les lignes mélodiques et les motifs rythmiques sont inspirés de la musique du célèbre compositeur américain John Williams qui Jan de Haan voue une grande admiration.Una composizione che riprende le vicende del villaggio olandese di Hoogeveen nel XVII secolo. Dato che la chiesa non aveva un campanile, fu deciso di utilizzare un tamburino per chiamare i cittadini a messa. Benché oggi la cittadina sia ricca di campane, Hoogeveen onora questa antica tradizione del tamburino. Music for a Solemnity è un brano festivo ispirato dal tamburino da un lato, ma anche dalla musica di John Williams, le cui linee melodiche e la scrittura ritmica influenzano da sempre Jan de Haan.
