Par DE HAAN JACOB. Jacob de Haan was commissioned to write Choral Music a concert band from Dinxperlo (Netherlands). This band gave the work its premiere in 1997 during the World Music Contest in Kerkrade. Choral Music is based on the chorale Sollt ich meinem Gott nicht singen by the seventeenth century German composer Johann Schop. Contrary to the title, Choral Music has nothing in common with a traditional choral arrangement. This contrasting work has a flashing beginning and only much later following on several thematic changes does Jacob de Haan allow the chorale melody to develop into its original form. Following this episode the chorale becomes a toccata developing into a whirlwind finish. / Niveau : 4 / Hymnes et chorals / Répertoire / Concert Band ou Harmonie

Par OARE MICHAEL. With nothing faster than a quarter note (except 8ths in percussion) this terrific piece for first-year players features a noble and stately style with enough variety in scoring to provide a rewarding experience. A great opener for that first concert! / Date parution : 2023-10-31/ Répertoire / Concert Band
