This excellent arrangement by Robert van Beringen is of the well-known German chorale Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme, taken from the oratorio Paulus (St. Paul) by Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy (1809-1847). Although accredited to Mendelssohn it is thought the melody was in fact written by the pastor and poet Philipp Nicolai in 1599. Robert van Beringen’s arrangement perfectly captures the biblical story of St. Paul. Robert van Beringen bewerkte het bekende koraal Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme uit Paulus, het eerste oratorium van Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy. Mendelssohn liet zich graag door de muziek van Johann Sebastian Bach inspireren.Pas vijfentwintig jaar oud zette hij het dramatische bijbelverhaal over Paulus zeer overtuigend op muziek. Robert van Beringen maakte hiervan een bekoorlijke versie voor blaasorkest.Robert van Beringen bearbeitete den bekannten Choral Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme aus Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdys erstem Oratorium Paulus. Der erst 25-jährige Mendelssohn, der sich gerne von Johann Sebastian Bachs Musik inspirieren ließ, setzte die dramatische biblische Geschichte von Paulus sehr überzeugend in Musik um. Auch in der Blasorchesterfassung von Robert van Beringen bestechend gut! Paulus (1834-1836) est le premier oratorio de Mendelssohn. Il raconte la vie de Saint Paul. L'ouverture est une fantaisie sur le célèbre choral Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme. Rarement donné, l’oratorio Paulus est pourtant significatif du romantisme allemand. L’arrangement de Robert van Beringen nous fait redécouvrir ce chef-d’œuvre oublié. Paulus (1834-1836), il primo oratorio di Mendelssohn, narra la vita di San Paolo. L’ouverture è una fantasia sul celebre corale Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme. L’oratorio Paulus è rappresentativo del romanticismo tedesco. L’arrangiamento di Robert van Beringen ci fa riscoprire questo capolavoro spesso dimenticato.

While Felix Mendelssohn (1809-1847) modestly refers to Hear My Prayer (Hör' mein Bitten) in G Major, WoO 15, as a trifle, it is among his most popular works for chorus. On the autograph score, he inscribed the following: A sacred Solo, for a Soprano and Chorus, with Organ accompaniment, composed for W. Bartholomew, Esq., by Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy. William Bartholomew wrote the text, which is derived on Psalm 55, and requested that Mendelssohn set it to music. This version premiered on January 8, 1845, at Crosby Hall in London. In 1847, Mendelssohn orchestrated the work, but he passed before he could hear this version, which premiered on December 21, 1848, in Dublin. Score and parts for orchestral accompaniment available separately. This edition adds reheasal numbers that match between the score, parts, and choral score.

Wedding March is een feestelijk gelegenheidswerk, de Belgische componist Jan Van der Roost schreef het in 2007 voor de huwelijksceremonie van een goede vriend. Invloeden van Mendelssohn en Elgar zijn zeker te herkennen, maardeze mars is toch karakteristiek voor Van der Roost - met een gevarieerde thematiek en een uitgesproken zangerige triomelodie. Het orgel aan het slot is ad libitum, maar vanzelfsprekend zorgt de toegevoegde orgelklank voor extrapracht en praal.Wedding March ist, wie der Name schon sagt, ein festlicher Marsch, den der Komponist anlässlich der Hochzeit eines guten Freundes schrieb. Einflüsse von Mendelssohn und Elgar sind sicherlich zu erkennen, nichtsdestotrotz ist Wedding March mit abwechslungsreichen Themen und einer sehr kantablen Triomelodie ganz charakteristisch für Jan Van der Roost. Die Orgel am Ende ist ad libitum, der Orgelklang verleiht dem Stück natürlich zusätzlichen Glanz.Wedding March (Marche nuptiale) est une œuvre de circonstance que le compositeur belge Jan Van der Roost a écrite en 2007 pour la cérémonie de mariage de son ami, le compositeur néerlandais Johan De Meij. La création de l’œuvre a eu lieu par une belle journée, fin ao t 2007. Jan Van der Roost en a assuré la direction.Si la musique dénote une influence de Mendelssohn et d’Elgar, cette marche renferme néanmoins les traits caractéristiques de Jan Van der Roost : des thèmes variés et une grande expressivité de la mélodie cantabile du trio. La partie d’orgue (passage de fin) est ad libitum, mais il va de soi que les sonorités de l’orgue enveloppent la musiqued’une splendeur extraordinaire.

Although more famous for his incidental music to A Midsummer Night's Dream, Mendelssohn was commissioned by the King of Prussia to provide music for Racine's religious drama Athalie, which includes the War March of the Priests. The march tune draws its energy from a repeating triplet figure in the introduction, and features a nice legato contrasting section. A great opportunity to teach style and nuance! (2:45).

At the precocious age of fourteen, Felix Mendelssohn (1809-1847) scribbled out his Concerto for Two Pianos and Orchestra in E major. He wrote a second, this time longer, double piano concerto the following year. In December 1823, the young composer gave the first performance of the E major concerto with his sister Fanny Mendelssohn. Since he came to regard it as mere juvenilia, it never achieved publication in his lifetime. Filled with stylish finger-work, the concerto clearly served to display the musical gifts of the two siblings. It remained forgotten until a version, which had been revised by the composer himself and edited by Karl-Heinz Köhler, surfaced in 1961 in a Leipzig critical edition. Instrumentation: 1.2.2.2: 2.2.0.0: Timp: Str (9-8-7-6-5 in set): Solo pianos (2 - available separately).

Here is a fresh and welcome arrangement of a classic Christmas carol that is the perfect choice for directors looking for something different and extremely compelling. Beginning with a lyrical approach coupled with interesting harmonies, the arrangement quickly takes on an exotic feel with percussion while displaced rhythms give the melody a unique and contemporary twist. Outstanding writing and an ideal selection for the lighter portion of a concert without having to resort to generic pop-sounding arrangements.

In 1840, the King of Prussia invited Felix Mendelssohn (1809-1847) to accept a lofty musical appointment in the French Academie Royale. A few years later, Wilhelm IV commissioned the composer to write incidental music to a religious drama by Jean Racine, ATHALIE, based on the queen of Judah during Jehoram's reign. It was intended for a private performance on December 1, 1845 and saw its first public performance on January 8th of the following year. WAR MARCH OF THE PRIESTS, a brief excerpt taken from the work, is sometimes heard during graduation ceremonies. Reprint edition. Instrumentation: 2.2.2.2: 2.2.3.1: Timp: Str (9-8-7-6-5 in set).

In this work the composer follows the models of Mendelssohn (Fourth Symphony), Elgar (In the South: Alassio) and Respighi (Roman Trilogy) by using instrumental color to produce a sunny piece, following a holiday in southern Italy, and describing a festival day in Naples. The work starts with brilliant woodwinds and percussion accompanying an opening celebratory theme in the brass. The mood subsides until a trumpet intones a new theme in the style of a Neapolitan serenade, taken up by the whole band. This is interrupted by a passing parade (the local band is not particularly accomplished!) but this disappears into the distance. A vivace follows in typical Neapolitan 6/8 meter, representing the festive dancing which characterises the local celebration. A change of mood is introduced by a horn chorus, but the dancing resumes and eventually joins with the horn theme to bring festivities to a close.

A slow introduction gives way to the chirpy theme which is developed, inverted, and accents displaced across the bar line to give a 3/2 feel against the written meter. Restlessness leads to a tranquillo presented by the flute and clarinet, weaving a flowing counterpoint around the melody until the original slow introduction returns. A triumphant recapitulation of the main theme brings this wonderful piece to an end.Originally composed for Brass Band in 1934 Comedy Overture is, despite its name, a serious piece of writing. The term Overture does not imply that there is anything else to follow; it is used in the 19th century sense of Concert Overture (like Mendelssohn's Fingal's Cave - in other words, a miniature Tone Poem). The 1930's was a period of Ireland's mature writing - yielding the Piano Concerto (1930), the Legend for piano and orchestra (1933), and the choral work These Things Shall Be (1936-1937). We are fortunate therefore to have both Comedy Overture and A Downland Suite (1932) written for band medium at this time. As with Maritime Overture (written in 1944 for military band) Ireland approaches his material symphonically. The opening three notes state immediately the two seminal intervals of a semitone and a third. These are brooding and dark in Bb minor. It is these intervals which make up much of the thematic content of Comedy, sometimes appearing in inverted form, and sometimes in major forms as well. The concept that some musical intervals are consonant , some dissonant, and some perfect is perhaps useful in understanding the nature of the tension and resolution of this work. The third is inherently unstable, and by bar 4, the interval is expanded to a fourth - with an ascending sem-quaver triplet - and then expanded to a fifth. The instability of the third pushes it towards a perfect resolution in the fourth or the fifth. The slow introduction is built entirely around these intervals in Bb minor and leads through an oboe cadenza, to an Allegro moderato brillante in Bb major. Once again, the semi-tone (inverted) and a third (major) comprise the main, chirpy, theme-inspired by a London bus-conductor's cry of Piccadilly. (Much of the material in Comedy was re-conceived by Ireland for orchestra and published two years later under the title A London Overture.) The expansion of the interval of a third through a fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh now takes place quickly before our very ears at the outset of this quicker section. Immediately the theme is developed, inverted, and accents displaced across the bar line to give a 3/2 feel against the written meter. But this restlessness leads to a tranquillo built around an arpeggio figure and presented by flute and clarinet. Ireland weaves his flowing counterpoint around this melody until the original slow introduction returns leading to a stretto effect as the rising bass motifs become more urgent, requesting a resolution of the tension of that original semitone and minor third. Yet resolution is withheld at this point as the music becomes almost becalmed in a further, unrelated tranquillo section marked pianissimo. It is almost as if another side of Ireland's nature is briefly allowed to shine through the stern counterpoint and disciplined structure. This leads to virtually a full recapitulation of the chirpy brilliante, with small additional touches of counterpoint, followed by the first tranquillo section-this time in the tonic of Bb major. But the instability of the third re-asserts itself, this time demanding a resolution. And a triumphant resolution it receives, for it finally becomes fully fledged and reiterates the octave in a closing vivace. The opening tension has at last resolved itself into the most perfect interval of all.
