In her Impromptu, Helena Winkelman conjures an atmosphere of timelessness, employing musical elements variously meditative and percussive, punctuated by shadowy accents in the contrabass register and delicate flourishes in the soprano. This masterful composition, engrossing and adventurous, is a rewarding challenge for the performer.

Performing notes
Attentive pedaling is key to producing the spectral resonances in this Impromptu.
The impressionistic atmosphere of the piece requires a carefully gauged use of all three pedals, even where not expressly noted in the score.
Especially with the right pedal many small ad lib. changes are necessary to create this impressionistic atmosphere. The central pedal only holds the bass notes.
Care must be taken that the pedals are not changed at the same time to avoid the third pedal affecting notes that should not be.
The composer wrote Impromptu with Schubert’s Hungarian Melody (D817) playing in her mind’s ear, and suggests that her Impromptu be programmed to follow it attacca in performance.

Herz an Herz, as the title implies (heart to heart), is a love duet. Two distinct voices, characterised through their respective male and female vocal registers, negotiate a warm, heartfelt melody through a loosely strophic form. Initially the voices sing in turn, each section - or verse - led predominantly by one. Each time their lines entwine, virtuosic flourishes ascend the keyboard, interrupting to render them silent again. It is only after one particularly tumultuous episode that the true duet appears: Out of the murky resonances of the lowest “A” emerges the throbbing chords and impassioned vocal lines from Wagner’s famous duet, O sink hernieder, Nacht der Liebefrom the second act of Tristan und Isolde. The 'singers', now reconciled, come together for one final verse before a fleeting memory of the beginning gently ushers in the end of the piece. Herz an Herz was awarded 1st prize in William Howard's Love Song Composing Competition and was premiered on 26th April 2017 at Hoxton Hall, London, by William Howard.

French composer, Eugène Cools published his Competition Solo for Cornet and Piano in 1958. The work remains an important audition work, particularly at the Paris Conservatoire. Cools' Competition Solo addresses advanced features of the Cornet, including semiquaver flourishes, chromaticism, and variations in performance directions, amongst other aspects. For all aspiring Cornet performers, Cools' Competition Solo is an essential addition to the repertoire.

SKU: KN.52512S

Composed by Traditional. Arranged by Sammy Nestico. Kendor Archive Editions. Kendor Music Inc #52512S. Published by Kendor Music Inc (KN.52512S).

Scored for augmented jazz ensemble, this setting of the famous theme (a.k.a. Danny Boy) features legato woodwind flourishes and sustained brass chords. In his score notes, Sammy Nestico says that all real 'blowing' should be saved for the ensemble chorus midway through, where a full, fat sound will produce vivid contrast with the quiet opening and closing.

Lars Erik Gudim's excellent scoring brings the full ensemble together with dovetailed flourishes and a hard 12/8 groove built from interlocking rhythms across the band. This fusion/shuffle chart features primary sections in 12/8, 15/8 and 9/8 with interspersed sections of straight-ahead swing in 4/4. Alto sax 1 doubles on soprano and flute, alto 2 doubles on flute, and trumpets 1 and 2 double on flugelhorns. The solos are scored for trumpet 2 and trombone 2 and can optionally be opened up for more. A wonderful chart for advanced groups!

Fanfare for Tokyo is a flamboyant and extrovert concert opener designed to celebrate the virtuosic character of the talented Tokyo Wind Symphony Orchestra. A central theme over persistent percussion is first given by bassoons and taken up by the full ensemble. Either side of this horns and euphoniums lead an acrobatic fanfare under woodwind flourishes.

Fanfare for Tokyo is een uitbundig en extravert openingswerk. Het centrale thema, dat zich ontvouwt over aanhoudend slagwerk, verschijnt eerst in de fagotten en wordt dan overgenomen door het complete orkest. Daaromheen voeren de hoorns eneuphoniums een acrobatische fanfare uit, waarboven de houtinstrumenten fraaie versieringen spelen.

Fanfare for Tokyo ist ein schillerndes, extrovertiertes Eroffnungswerk. Das zentrale Thema, das sich uber dem durchlaufenden Schlagwerk entfaltet, erscheint erst in den Fagotten und wird dann vom gesamten Orchester aufgenommen. Darum herumspielen die Horner und Euphonien eine akrobatische Fanfare und die Holzblaser davor schone Verzierungen.

Parfaite pour ouvrir un concert, Fanfare for Tokyo est une piece exuberante et extravertie dont le theme central soutenu par une percussion tenace est introduit par les hautbois pour etre ensuite repris par l'orchestre entier. De part etd'autre de ce theme, les cors et les euphoniums exposent une fanfare acrobatique enrichie d'ornements interpretes les bois. Une piece qui permettra d'introduire chacun des pupitres de votre orchestre !

Perfetto per iniziare un concerto, Fanfare for Toyko e un brano esuberante e brioso il cui tema principale, sostenuto da una tenace percussione, e introdotto dagli oboi per poi essere ripreso dall'intero organico. Una fanfara, arricchita daabbellimenti interpretati dai legni, e esposta dai corni e dagli eufoni. Un brano che consente di mettere in luce ogni sezione della banda!

Ready for some musical shock and awe? Play on words aside, this is an excellent way to feature your entire woodwind section in a way that doesn’t ignore the rest of the band. A brief, ominous march soon gives way to a raucous display of fast trills and flourishes that show off what these instruments can do (even the bass woodwinds). Highly effective for all serious and light concert environments!

The partita is in five movements, each based on a text verse which is quoted before the movement. The first movement, smooth and flowing, depicts starlight, everlasting light, and a call to Christ. The second movement pastorale takes its cue from the text ...not as a monarch, but the child of Mary... and quotes GREENSLEEVES. The third movement is a firm declamation, At your great name...all knees must bend. The fourth movement is strong and dramatic with chromatic flourishes painting the text, ...holy might...defend us...from all assaults. The final movement is a fiery toccata over a pedal melody.
