Irish Fantasy for Cornet and Brass Band. Par CRAUSAZ ETIENNE. Solo de cornet commandé par Carole Rudaz, cornettiste valaisanne, à l?occasion de son 40e anniversaire. Du fait de sa rareté, le trèfle à quatre feuilles (clover en anglais) est considéré dans la culture occidentale comme un porte-bonheur. Mais le modeste trèfle à trois feuilles, surnommé Little Clover, est l'un des symboles de l?Irlande, dont la musique traditionnelle imprègne fortement l?esthétique de cette ?uvre. La pièce s?articule en trois parties : la première, en 6/8, est très vive et virtuose. Après une courte cadence, la deuxième partie expose un thème emprunt de mélancolie, tandis que la dernière partie est une danse à 2/2 qui réutilisera le thème de la deuxième partie en guise de conclusion. / Date parution : 2022-07-23/ Répertoire / Fanfare et Cornet

An 'unintended' play on words on the title of Mozart's famous composition forms the basis of this solo piece. It was composed in 2004 by the Scottish composer Bruce Fraser and features a solo for flugel or cornet. It is not a very difficult piece for both the soloist and the band but is that always necessary? A lovely highly recommended intermezzo for your concert.

Mercury is a concert march composed in a typically British idiom. In 1990 Jan Van der Roost wrote this piece on the occasion of the 15-year anniversary of his own band: Brass Band Midden Brabant. Like many British marches the main theme is written in a minor key. Powerful and virtuoso themes characterize the first part of this march while the trio melody is much more melodical offering the tenor register to display its lyrical skills. Follows a dynamic passage for trombones and trumpets/cornets leading to a 'grandioso' version of the main trio melody and thus concluding this march in a magnificent way.

In a four-part composition Rieks van der Velde takes us to the richly varied area surrounding the university city of Cambridge. The Dutch composer was especially inspired by the atmosphere of Cambridgeshire the county which lies north of London. 1. The Journey. Although on arrival the area looks peaceful and friendly the ruggedness of its inhabitants and landscape have an unmistakable influence on the music. In the course of the tour which starts with an Allegro movement we are shown the vitality energy and freshness of the Cambridgeshire countryside. Short themes swift and sudden motifs and rhythmical patterns supported by the drive ofpercussion instruments give expression to this image. The first part is concluded by two 'Calmo' movements in which the music expresses how the cathedral in the city of Ely comes into sight and is gradually approached. 2. Visit to Ely Cathedral. The famous Norman cathedral church of Ely which was built in 1109 has attracted tourists from all over the world apart from being a place of worship and heritage site. A cornet solo introduces the contemplative mood of the composition at this point. The mystical atmosphere of the cathedral runs through this lyrical part like a continuous thread. 3. The Pub. The thirst caused by this intensive journey makes a visit to the local pub a definite must. These ?public houses? which may be open until the early hours of the morning offer all kinds of entertainment. Drinks are served liberally and the atmosphere is lively. 4. The Journey Back. Time has flown: In other words the moment of departure has come sooner than one would have wished. In a flashback which recaptures elements of the first part of the composition we say goodbye to Cambridgeshire in a fitting manner. Two scintillating final measures bring us abruptly back to the present.

Par CRAUSAZ ETIENNE. L?ile de la Banane est un lieu imaginaire extraordinaire : cocotiers, dattiers, manguiers, bananiers, palétuviers et mangroves la peuplent. Les animaux y vivent dans une harmonie paradisiaque. Sur un rythme de danse des Caraïbes, la Soca, plusieurs thèmes se déploient et créent un dialogue entre les divers registres. Une partie centrale offre au cornet et au trombone l?occasion de démontrer leurs talents de solistes. Une ?uvre pleine d?énergie et débordante d?enthousiasme ! Cette musique fait partie du conte musical La Malédiction d?Aragne, écrit par Dominique Schweizer et commandé par la Lyre de Courtion (dir. Dominique Morel) à l?occasion de son 100e anniversaire. / Date parution : 2022-07-23/ Répertoire / Fanfare
