from Roma-Suite. Par BIZET GEORGES. Georges Bizet tat sich schwer mit der Suite Roma :er komponierte nicht weniger als acht Jahre daran. Der Titel ist auf ungewöhnliche Art entstanden. Roma wird von einem sehr pastoral anmutenden Andante eröffnet, welches - zusammen mit einem Allegro Agitato - den ersten Satz von Bizets Komposition bildet. Wil van der Beek hat zum Andante eine wunderschöne Bearbeitung für Blasorchester geschrieben, die bei Musikern und auch beim Publikum gleichermaßen Anklang finden wird. / Niveau : 3 / Musique pour célébration / Répertoire / Concert Band ou Harmonie

The 'Admiral Spirit' is the pride of the Navy. The ship is at sea there is no wind the sun is shining. The crew are busy piloting the ship into port in prime condition. The admiral himself will inspect the vessel. The first movement (Allegro Con Spirito) gives musical expression to the majestic ship and its toiling crew. In the second movement (Andante) the ship sails into port. It has been polished and technically everything is in order. The admiral will be proud when he inspects the ship. Third movement (Allegro Molto): the captain and his crew are nervous (modulations) while working at the 'finishing touch'. The Navy Band is ready to receive the admiral !. Hemay be proud of his flagship. De bemanning van het marineschip Admiral Spirit is druk bezig om het schip in optimale conditie de haven binnen te loodsen de admiraal gaat namelijk het schip zelf inspecteren. In het eerste deel (Allegro con spirito) horen we een verklanking van het majestueuze schip en de zwoegende bemanning. Hoe beeldend zijn de emmertjes water welke overboord gaan (trombones). In het tweede deel (Andante) vaart het schip de haven binnen. Het schip is gepoetst en technisch is alles in orde. Derde deel (Allegro molto): De kapitein en zijn bemanning zijn nerveus (modulaties) en er wordt aan de finishing touch gewerkt. De Navy Band staat klaar om de admiraal te ontvangen! De admiraal kan trots zijn op het vlaggenschip. Een schitterend speelwerk voor de lagere afdelingen! Dit werk is opgenomen in het Klein repertorium fanfare - 5e divisie

Anton Bruckner (1824-1896). Par BRUCKNER ANTON / DOSS THOMAS (Arr.). Anton Bruckner (b. 4.9.1824, Ansfelden, d. 11.10.1896, Vienna) didn?t have it easy. Throughout his life, the Austrian composer was plagued by self-doubt. Anton Bruckner came from a simple, rural background. After the death of his father, he was accepted as a choirboy at the monastery of Sankt Florian in 1837. After several years as a school assistant and his own organ and piano studies, he first worked as organist in St. Florian, then from 1855 as cathedral organist in Linz. Introduced to music theory and instrumentation by Simon Sechter and Otto Kitzler, he discovered Richard Wagner as an artistic role model, whom he admired throughout his life and also visited several times in Bayreuth. In 1868 Anton Bruckner became professor of basso continuo, counterpoint and organ at the Vienna Conservatory; ten years later court organist; and in 1891 finally honorary doctor of the University of Vienna. He was considered an important organ virtuoso of his era, but had to wait a long time for recognition as a composer. It was not until Symphony No.7 in E major, composed between 1881 and 1883, with the famous Adagio written under the effects of Wagner's death, that he achieved the recognition he had hoped for, even if he was reluctant to accept it given his inclination towards scepticism and self-criticism. Anton Bruckner was a loner who did not want to follow a particular school or doctrine. He composed numerous sacred vocal works, such as his three masses, the Missa Solemnis in B flat minor (1854), the Te Deum (1881-84) and numerous motets. As a symphonic composer, he wrote a total of nine symphonies and many symphonic studies from 1863 onwards, tending to revise completed versions several times over. Bruckner's orchestral works were long considered unplayable, but in fact were merely exceptionally bold for the tonal language of their time, uniting traditions from Beethoven through Wagner to folk music, on the threshold between late Romanticism and Modernism. Hymns for four-part mixed choir a cappella (1846, St. Florian) No. 1 in E flat major (WAB 41/3): Quite Slow No. 2 in C major (WAB 41/4): Andante No. 3 in B flat major (WAB 41/1): Slow No. 4 in A flat major (WAB 41/2): Slow Hymn for five-part (2 S, A, T, B) mixed choir and organ No. 5 in D major: Solemnly They are simple works, completely subordinate to their liturgical use, which nevertheless already show numerous characteristics of personal expression. These small pieces were able to stand up to the harsh scrutiny of the mature master: in 1888, Bruckner subjected them to a revision in which he made only minor corrections. / Date parution : 2023-08-12/ Répertoire / Concert Band/Harmonie

Par VAN DER ROOST JAN. Metalla was commissioned by the 'Kreisverband Altenkirchen' of Germany and dedicated to Ottomar Jung. The composer himself conducted the premiere of the piece, which was performed by the 'Jugendorchester Kreisverband Altenkirchen' on 25 March 1999. The region of Altenkirchen is known for its iron mines, which find musical expression in the dark mood of the introduction (andante misterioso). This effect is accomplished with overlapping seventh intervals, orchestral crescendos, a succession of broad chords and the presentation of most themes in the middle register of the band. The dynamic section (allegro energico) that follows the introduction is characterized by concise figures inthe brass and a second motif, a kind of rippling motion depicting the Sieg River, an important element in the landscape of the Altenkirchen region. The work closes with a final theme that returns a number of times, albeit in different guises. After a brief repeat of the seventh intervals from the beginning, a last radiant chord signals the end of the piece. / Niveau : 4 / Répertoire / Concert Band

Par DE HAAN JAN. Pour cette œuvre, le compositeur Jan de Haan s’est inspiré de cinq peintures exposées à l’Ermitage de Saint-Pétersbourg, l’un des plus grands musées du monde. Il a employé comme point de départ l’émouvant Andante cantabile du Quatuor pour cordes, Op. 11 du compositeur russe Piotr Ilitch Tchaïkovski. Il a ainsi créé sa propre peinture musicale, qui est tout aussi variée que les toiles qui l’ont inspirée – de « Joyeuse compagnie dans une taverne », de Dirck Hals, à « La Danse II », de Henri Matisse. Une véritable œuvre d’art ! / Date parution : 2022-11-10/ Répertoire / Concert Band/Harmonie

The Launch of Curiosity-La composition Mission to Mars illustre les principales étapes de la mission Curiosity le robot non habité qui a exploré la planète rouge. Elle débute par un motif joué par les cuivres suivi d?un andante et d?un allegro moderato représentant quelques déceptions ainsi que la détermination et le courage de mener le projet à bonne fin. Nous entendons ensuite le lancement de Curiosity et son long voyage. Ce passage comporte des éléments cinématographiques avec toutes sortes d?effets spéciaux par la percussion. Alors que le robot s?approche de Mars la tension atteint un niveau stratosphérique. Un voyage spatial tout en relief.

Par HOSAY JAMES L.. Soaring themes intertwine with compelling rhythms and inventive harmonies to render an unforgettable musical experience through acclaimed composer James L. Hosay’s impressive new overture. This one may well be the “signature” piece for your band this year. Every section will be challenging and rewarding as you prepare this magnificent offering.

Arr. James Curnow. Par MOZART WOLFGANG AMADEUS. Le motet a revêtu différentes formes au cours de son évolution et a joué un rôle important dans le développement de la musique polyphonique vocale entre les XIIIe et XVIIIe siècles. En janvier 1773, Mozart séjourne à Milan en compagnie de son père et y écrit une oeuvre originale pour le castrat Venanzio Rauzzini : le motet Exultate, Jubilate KV 165. Cette oeuvre sacrée en trois parties rappelle une véritable 'sinfonia' italienne : la pièce suit l’ordonnancement logique Allegro - Andante - Allegro final qui se termine par l’ Alleluia, somptueux témoignage de virtuosité vocale. / Niveau : 2.5 / Pièce de concert / Répertoire / Concert Band ou Harmonie

‘Jubilant Prelude’ is an orchestration of the ‘Preludium over Psalm 150’ originally composed for organ by Toon Hagen. Since 1998 Toon Hagen has been organ-player of the ‘Grote or Sint Michaëlskerk’ in Zwolle (the Netherlands). He has written several ‘contemporary’ compositions for organ.‘Jubilant Prelude’ has a capricious character by the use of irregular measures and its many measure changes. The structure of the Prelude is that of a fugue and is based on motives from the psalm.After the first climax which is both dynamic and harmonic the theme in the Andante Jubiloso is clearly audible and it is alternated with erratic motifs. Tension increases until at last the psalm itself isheard in all its glory. The melody of the psalm sounds as a cantus firmus in tenor register with motifs in ornamentation for saxophones bugles and trumpets. The finale like the prelude is capricious and vehement.The instrumentation for fanfare band was made by Wim Rouw. It is particularly colourful and has a surprising role for the percussion section.

partly based on the chorale Schmücke dich o liebe Seele-Adornia est un mot inventé par le compositeur fondé sur le mot anglais pour décorer ou orner « to adorn ». Le fondement thématique est basé sur DORN d?après la fanfare commandante CMV Juliana de Doornspijk aux Pays-Bas. Le choral Schmücke dich du liebe Seele figure plusieurs fois dans des variations différentes. Adornia contient des mélodies magnifiques de vastes passages dynamiques et une conclusion impressionnante.
