Festival March is presented in a new edition arranged by Richard Summers. It is a tour de force composition for advanced bands and hearkens back to a bygone era during the golden age of the band movement. Directors and students will hear operatic music from composer Victor Herbert who is best known for his Christmas classic, Toyland. This is a richly scored masterpiece that deserves to return to standard status in concert band repertoire. We are proud to bring you this new setting of this cherished classic.
About the CompositionFestival March by Victor Herbert was written for the Pittsburgh Symphony and first performed under Herbert’s direction in Chicago on Dec. 9, 1901 celebrating the 12th anniversary of Chicago’s Auditorium Theatre. Also known as the Auditorium Festival March, he included it many times for programs of a festival nature. The main theme Auld Lang Syne, a famous Scottish folk song, is incorporated many times along with brass fanfares, interludes and march melodies. This band arrangement is very similar to the original orchestral composition. The missing string parts, the addition of the saxophone section and other band instruments, editing of the superimposed triplets against sixteenth notes, to one or the other, and articulations suitable for the band, were major challenges. The style of early twentieth-century American music is captured here. This arrangement will give band musicians access to a fine piece of music that could only be appreciated by orchestra musicians up to now. Although suitable for many occasions, this piece is a great way to begin or end a December holiday concert.  Notes to the ConductorVictor Herbert’s music can be interpreted in a romantic style, which is the conductor’s responsibility to read in nuance and musicality. The beginning and other triple-tonguing sections of this piece have a March of the Toys quality to it.  The interludes and Auld Lang Syne sections are legato and musical. The March sections can also be shaped musically.About the ComposerVictor Herbert was born in Ireland in 1861 and raised in Germany. When he moved to America in 1886, he joined the Metropolitan Opera as principal cellist and eventually composed many works including forty-three operettas on Broadway from the 1890s to World War I, including Naughty Marietta and Babes in Toyland. Victor Herbert conducted the Pittsburgh Symphony from 1898 to 1904 and then was the conductor of his own Victor Herbert Orchestra. He formed ASCAP with a group of composers in 1914 and was the director until his death in 1924. Among his thirty-one compositions for orchestra, Festival March was a favorite of his and was eventually published by Carl Fischer Music.  .

The Castle of Allymes, “castrum Alemorum”, located on a hill in the centre of the seigneury of Allymes (France) is an historic castle dating back to the fourteenth century, rebuilt in the sixteenth century and restored in the nineteenth. This piece evokes an image of the castle, its beautiful location within the surrounding landscape and its importance for the rural district of Ambérieu-en-Bugey. Combining beautiful melodies with rhythmical sections and modern sounds with passages in a renaissance style, this work of Jacob de Haan is an impressive musical challenge that is both fun to play as well as appealing for your audience: as you listen you can almost see the castlebefore your eyes.

Castrum Alemorum, gelegen op een heuvel in de seigneurie van Allymes (Frankrijk), is een 14e eeuws kasteel dat in de 16e eeuw is herbouwd en in de 19e eeuw is gerestaureerd. Het werk roept beelden op van het kasteel zelf en zijn prachtige omgeving; ook wordt het belang van het fort voor het landelijke district Ambérieu-en-Bugey erin onderstreept. Met een combinatie van fraaie melodieën, ritmische gedeelten en moderne klanken met passages in renaissancistische stijl, vormt dit werk van Jacob de Haan een muzikale uitdaging die zowel fijn is om te spelen als om naar te luisteren. Je ziet het kasteel bijna voor je!

Die imposante Burg von Allymes, Castrum Alemorum“, liegt majestätisch auf einem Hügel der Rhônes-Alpes Region im Osten Frankreichs. Dieses Stück erzählt von dieser Burg, der herrlichen Lage und an ihre Bedeutung für die Gegend. Jacob de Haankombiniert wunderschöne Melodien mit rhythmischen Abschnitten sowie moderne Klänge mit an die Renaissancemusik angelehnten Passagen. Diese musikalische Burgführung begeistert Musiker und Publikum gleichermaßen.

Le ch teau des Allymes, « castrum Alemorum », qui se dresse sur une colline au centre de la seigneurie d’Allymes (France) est un ancien ch teau fort du XIVe siècle, reb ti au XVIe siècle, et restauré depuis le XIXe. Cette œuvre évoque une image du ch teau, son bel emplacement dans le paysage et son importance pour la commune d'Ambérieu-en-Bugey. En combinant de magnifiques mélodies avec des sections rythmiques, et des sons modernes avec des passages dans le style de la renaissance, cette œuvre de Jacob de Haan est un défi musical impressionnant qui est aussi amusant jouer que séduisant pour votre public : pendant qu’on écoute, on peut même presque visualiser le ch teau.

Il castello di Allymes, “Castrum Alemorum”, posizionato su una collina nel centro feudale di Allymes, (Francia) è un castello storico datato XIV secolo, ricostruito nel XVI secolo e restaurato nel XIX.

Combinando assieme bellissime melodie con sezioni ritmiche, suoni moderni con passaggi in stile rinascimentale, questo lavoro di Jacob de Haan è una sfida musicale impressionante, divertente da suonare e attraente per il pubblico. Mentre lo ascolti puoi quasi vedere il castello davanti ai tuoi occhi!
