A Musical Portrait. Par DE HAAN JAN. Redbad est une composition écrite pour la catégorie « Championnat » des Championnats néerlandais des Brass Bands ? elle contient donc de nombreux challenges musicaux et techniques. Dans cette ?uvre en sept mouvements connectés, nous faisons la connaissance de Redbad (ou Radbod), roi de Frise de 680 environ jusqu?à sa mort, en 719. Le compositeur s?est inspiré de documents historiques, mais aussi d?histoires, d?anecdotes, de mythes et de légendes relatifs à ce personnage. Les thèmes de cette pièce s?entrelacent étroitement, mais la musique est variée et attrayante ? entre des motifs héroïques et la mélancolie des élégies, des passages en tutti alternent avec des fragments aux sonorités plus ouvertes où divers musiciens sont mis en vedette. Pour couronner le tout, la pièce s?achève avec un final majestueux. / Date parution : 2022-04-05/ Répertoire / Brass Band

L?hymne Old Hundredth est une des plus célèbres hymnes chrétiennes de tous les temps. Elle fut publiée pour la première fois en 1551 dans le psautier de Genève Pseaumes octante-trois de David avec accompagnement du Psaume 134. La mélodie est fréquemment attribuée au compositeur français Louis Bourgeois (vers 1510-vers 1560).En 1561 William Kethe un pasteur écossais reprend la mélodie pour réaliser une paraphrase du Psaume 100 All People that on Earth do Dwell (Vous tous habitants de la terre !) qui sera publiée dans le Psautier de Sternhold et Hopkins. Cette paraphrase reste le texte le plus chanté sur la mélodie de Bourgeois. En 1696 Nahum Tate et Nicholas Brady réalisent une Nouvelle Version des Psaumes de David (New Version of the Psalms). Par opposition à la version révisée de la mélodie la version initiale prend alors le nom de Old Hundredth autrement dit « l?ancienne version du Psaume 100 ».

Durkle Bandrydge is the name of the composers imaginary world but it could very well be anyones invisible dream world with a different name. In this very versatile suite by Bruce Fraser 8 characters are featured each with its ownpeculiarities making Durkle Bandrydge such a colourful place. Do these characters differ that much from us? That is for you to find out! In the last part all characters come together in a special way.Durkle Bandrydge exists at the end ofyour street. It is invisible to humans but Durkle Bandrygators can watch us with great interest. The music will introduce you to some of the characters who live in this unusual place. The parts: Somnanbulyss who is a giant trollguarding the entrance to Durkle Bandryde. At least he is supposed to but he tends to sleep most of the time. His music is therefore very slow moving and sleepy. Long Gwysteen is a tall mysterious and somehow sophisticated character who walls around with a shell on his back. His music glides along rather gracefully. Squelfitch is a rather unpleasant and smelly character who lives in a bog which is why his music sounds rather slimy and a bit like trying to walkthrough quicksand. Perfydlia is a meddling old woman who gossips about everybody and squeals with sudden delight at the small exciting bits of tittletattle about others in the village. In the music you can hear her sudden little squealsof delight. Maryann Lovely is a beautiful young lady graceful gorgeous absolutely devine and her music is obviously just the same. Thistledoo Nicely is a lively character who spends and spends and spends with her credit card buying the latest fashion and never worries about having to pay the bills. Her music reflects her excitement when shopping and het ‘happy go lucky’ approach to life. Marsyn Edginton is the Lord of the manor the richest man in town the‘big cheese’ the man with all the power and of course the biggest house. He is very grand and his music like he could be a king. Jimmy McScotsmyn is a red haired scotsman wearing tartan cap. He misses his home country terribly and eatslots of shortbread oatcakes scotch eggs porridge and drinks an enormous amount of Scotch Wisky which helps him to have fond memories of the kind of music he would like to dance to when he was a younger man. His favourite dance is a Jig andthis is the music he remembers. Grand March of the Durkle Bandrydgators. We hope that you have enjoyed meeting these characters from Drukle Bandrydge and would invite you to listen to all the villagers now march along in a grand parade -it is a pity that you can not see them what is a wonderful sight. If you listen carefully you will hear the melodies which belong to the characters as they march past. Oh what a grand spectacle!

ABBA Gold est un medley qui permet de redécouvrir le légendaire groupe pop suédois qui a remporté le Concours Eurovision de la Chanson en 1974 et dont la musique reste plus que jamais actuelle.

(The Four Seasons)-Antonio Vivaldi (1678-1741) stands with Handel and J.S. Bach as one of the titanic figures of late Baroque composition. Not only was he lauded as a composer of vocal and instrumental works both sacred and secular he was without doubt the most prolific composer of his age. In addition to hundreds of vocal works including forty-nine operas he composed five hundred concertos. The Four Seasons are probably the best known of his concerti with the second movement Largo portraying time spent by a roaring fire listening to the rain pounding against the window. This new arrangement for brass band retains all the warmth of the original.
