Franco Cesarini a selectionne 40 etudes de difficulte facile a moyenne parmi 12 differentes collections de 6 compositeurs. Il voulait choisir les etudes les plus musicales , celles qui en plus d?être des exercices pour travailler la technique, contribueraient a developper la musicalite des jeunes flûtistes. Quand Cesarini a commence son apprentissage de la flûte, il n'aimait pas les etudes qui presentaient des caracteres repetitifs et mecaniques. Ses etudes preferees etaient celles avec le plus de musicalite et ce sont donc celles qu?il a selectionnees pour cette collection. Cesarini a corrige toutes les articulations, la dynamique et les respirations de ces etudes. Dans certains cas, il a egalement change quelques notes, la où il y avait des erreurs evidentes dans les anciennes editions. Les etudes ont ete selectionnees de maniere progressive, de façon a accompagner les flûtistes dans leur progression technique et musicale. Ces etudes sont egalement excellentes pour les flûtistes plus avances, a utiliser pour perfectionner la lecture a vue. / Méthodes et pédagogie / Bois / Flute / Mitropa Music

In Music for Cinema Bertrand Moren pays tribute to film music a genre he has particularly passion for. The work opens with a sonorous introduction which gradually leads into the central passage which alternates between discordant plaintive lines and expressive and passionate solo phrases. A mysterious and tense bridge passage brings a feeling of fear which leads into the finale in which the opening melodic line returns over perky and joyful rhythms.

The Incredible Adventure of Jerrie Mocke. In 1964, the American aviator Jerrie Mock was the first woman to fly solo around the world, in spite of her critics and the bad weather forecasted. She completed this journey in 29 days on board the ?Spirit of Columbus?, a single engine Cessna. This story inspired Marc Jeanbourquin. The aviator?s determined nature appears from the very first bars, reflecting her mood before take-off. The hymn that follows illustrates the beginning of the flight, when all is going well. This leads to a calmer section, as if the aviator was letting herself be carried by the air currents above the clouds, lost in her thoughts. Then a more energetic passage brings her back inside the cockpit to confront the bad weather she encounters. She overcomes these difficulties to appear out of the clouds before a cheerful finale, as if nearing the finishing line. Welcome aboard for a flight around the world! First prize in the composition competition of the Swiss Music Association (Contest music 4th category 2020).

This programmatic piece of music is one of the best-selling works from Otto M. Schwarz. There was a very high demand for a lower grade version to enable young and small bands to perform this epic piece. On September 19th, 1991, a mummified corpse of a man was found at the Similaun glacier in the Ötztäler Alps. The glacier unveiled an early man after 5300 years, with all of his personal belongings. His clothes and weapons were fairly well preserved and provide us today with a deeper insight into that period. Austrian nature filmmaker Kurt Mündel reconstructed the life of this man and made a film, which Otto M. Schwarz used as an opportunity to write a work for symphonic wind band and musically resurrect the ?Man in the Ice- Ötzi?.

Concerto Grosso for Brass Band and Percussion-Landscapes is a work structured around two main ideas. On the one hand the music freely paints some of the superb landscapes I’ve seen during several of my trips around the world. Listeners should however not be influenced by this programmatic framework and are encouraged to build their own ‘mind pictures’.On the other hand Landscapes constitutes a test piece for each section of the brass band. Indeed each musical landscape highlights a particular register. A small group of soloists is given the opportunity to fully display its skills in dialogue with the rest of the band (the tutti) hence the name ‘concerto grosso’. Landscapes also relies on the band’s different soloistmusicians when it comes to express highly complex musically and technically challenging passages.

Yakolo is originally a dance song from Africa. It reflects the people of Africa?s zest for life, following the maxim ?Come and join us!?. In this work, the ?call and response? principle is featured as a trademark element of traditional African music. The rhythmic melodies invite listeners to sing and dance along and thus give shape to the African art of celebrating together. The repeating themes will be sure to put a smile on everyone?s face!

Joyride - Listen To Your Heart - It Must Have Been Love - The Look. As a great fan of the Swedish pop rock duo Roxette, the top German arranger Wolfgang Wössner created a catchy pop medley for wind band as an ode to its lead vocalist Marie Fredriksson ? who passed away in December 2019. Hits like ?Joyride?, ?Listen To Your Heart?, ?It Must Have Been Love? and ?The Look? can practically guarantee a good deal of enjoyment and demonstrate that this band is more than deserving of both its international recognition and its place in the Swedish Music Hall of Fame. Tribute to ROXETTE is sure to not only entertain your musicians, but also captivate the audience!
