If you or your students began your clarinet career on a Clarineo a scaled-down instrument appropriate for younger students then you have Lyons to thank as he is its inventor.

Par HIGGINS GAVIN. Der Aufstand (German for 'riot') is not a descriptive work, nor is it solely based on the riots of 2011. It does, however, draw on the idea of opposing forces and escalating anger. The work falls into two contrasting sections that are linked by a series of repeated, 'screaming' chords. A slow build drives the first section from a single pitch to a blazing orchestral tutti. The second section is a fast and wild series of fanfares and driving rhythms that ultimately cannot be sustained. In many ways this mirrors the first. Both sections open on single tones (Bb and E) and grow to a climax of brass and hammered chords. The first performance took place on the last day of the 2012 Olympic Games. Der Aufstand is a noisy antithesis to the celebratory fanfare. Wind Band Grade: 6 (Professional and elite student and 'national' bands) Duration: 10 minutes/ Répertoire / Ensemble à Vent

(Overture in E-flat major). Par JAEGGI STEPHAN. Dans le cadre de l?année 2023, dédiée aux compositeurs suisses, l?Association suisse des musiques a commandé à Gauthier Dupertuis une nouvelle orchestration de l?Ouverture en Mi bémol de Stephan Jaeggi. En effet, une mise à jour de l?instrumentation était nécessaire à l?interprétation de cette ?uvre avec les orchestres modernes. Ainsi, l?orchestration que Gauthier Dupertuis propose, et qu?il a voulu fidèle à l?originale tout en répondant aux standards idiomatiques actuels, permettra aux orchestres actuels de pouvoir interpréter cette pièce d?inspiration classique-romantique. Compositeur et chef d?orchestre, Stephan Jaeggi est né en 1903 dans une famille nombreuse à Fulenbach (Canton de Soleure). Il a commencé la clarinette à 13 ans, a étudié la musique au Conservatoire de Bâle et a effectué son école de recrues au sein de la musique militaire. Une fois ses études terminées, il a dirigé plusieurs orchestres à vents. Dans ce rôle, mais aussi dans celui de compositeur, Stephan Jaeggi a accumulé les succès. Sa disparition prématurée, en 1957, a mis bien trop tôt un terme à la vie créative de Stephan Jaeggi. Mais aujourd?hui, son ?uvre est plus vivante que jamais. / Date parution : 2023-10-31/ Répertoire / Orchestre à Vents
