Warlike, then noble, Now is the Day is based on the great figure in Scottish history - William Wallace, often called Braveheart. Opening with the woodwinds playing drums along with the percussion section against brass fanfares, this piece will create an air of excitement. An alto saxophone solo provides a brief moment of solace between the battle scenes.This work is based on a great figure in Scottish history - William Wallace, often called Braveheart. The song Scots wha hae wi' Wallace bled, which is Scotland's unofficial national anthem contains the line Now is the day and how is the hour, and this is the source of the title. The opening section is warlike in sound with woodwinds playing tambours of some sort - tom-toms, tambours, even old drum skins will make the kind of noise required to simulate a battle. Noisy brass fanfares are melodic fragments of Scots wha hae melody. Eventually, woodwinds join in and the music slows down to an alto saxophone solo, again based on fragments of Scots wha hae. The battle tempo resumes and percussion then lead the band noisily into an eventual full statement of the theme creating a noble sound against the continuing drum patterns, leading to a triumphant ending.

Roger Zare is living every young composer's dream. At a tender age, he has already been lauded by the best, and his compositions continue to earn awards. Green Flash, his first publication with Theodore Presser Company, was written in 2007 for the USC Thornton Symphony, received a BMI Student Composer award in 2007, was chosen to be read at the 2008 American Composers Orchestra Underwood New Music Readings, won the ASCAP Rudolf Nissim Prize in 2009, and has now won the 2012 Symphony in C Young Composers' Competition. For more about Green Flash and a YouTube video of the premiere performance, see the composer's website (www.rogerzare.com/greenflash.htm).A “green flash†is a rare atmospheric phenomenon that occurs as a sunset reaches its end. If conditions are just right, then a spark of green will hover on the horizon for a fleeting moment as the sun disappears. I first witnessed this subtle effect in Florida in 2005. Seeing the mythical event for the first time inspiredthis composition. Green Flash is a musical journey from daybreak to sunset. It focuses on the manipulation of colors and textures throughout its five sections. The musical events are designed to paint a picture of various scenes during the day. The piece begins with the heartbeat of the world emerging from the silentdarkness of the night. As night transitions to dawn, waves of color propagate from the repeating low C, building up through the harmonic series to become the vibrant colors of sunrise. Eventually all twelve notes of the chromatic scale are sounding together. Abruptly, a morning fog engulfs the scene. Out of the mist rises the only melodic theme in the work, played by a solo English horn, and later taken up by other solo winds. Once the fog dissipates, the sky fills with the playful dance of wispy cirrus clouds. A rainbow-like halo surrounds the sun, adding a burst of color to the scene. This carefree, optimistic cloud dance is invaded by a menacing front of cumulonimbus clouds. A storm rages at a frantic pace, but in its dying breath yields the most glorious of sunsets. Only as the last glint of sunlight disappears below the horizon, a faint sparkle of green lingers in the atmosphere.

The Last Friend of Napoleon is based on a true piece of Dutch history. In October 1813, when Napoleon was beaten after his unsuccessful Russian campaign, the French withdrew from the Netherlands. At the beginning of 1814, the whole country had been liberated except for the town of Delfzijl, still occupied by French troops. This programmatic work is about political and military stubbornness, chasing dreams, and about love always following its own unequalled way. Being one of the most acknowledged composers of today, Dirk Brossé has created an epic work that depicts a dramatic story, using the full range of the symphonic band resulting in challenging brass passages, a widerange of percussion and a lot of strong, beautiful and melodic material. The Last Friend of Napoleon is gebaseerd op een waargebeurd stukje Nederlandse geschiedenis. Als Napoleon in oktober 1813 na zijn mislukte Russische veldtocht wordt verslagen, trekken de Fransen zich terug uit Nederland. Begin 1814 is heel het land bevrijd, behalve de plaats Delfzijl, die nog bezet wordt door Franse troepen. Dit programmatische werk gaat over politieke en militaire stijfkoppigheid, over het najagen van dromen en over de liefde, die altijd haar eigen, onnavolgbare weg gaat. Dit werk van Dirk Brossé, een van de meest gerenommeerde hedendaagse componisten, vertelt een dramatisch verhaal door middel van volledig symfonisch blaasorkest waarin koper, eenscala van slagwerk en vooral veel prachtig melodisch materiaal de hoofdrol spelen. The Last Friend of Napoleon basiert auf einer wahren Episode aus der niederländischen Geschichte. Als Napoleon im Oktober 1813 nach seinem erfolglosen Russlandfeldzug geschlagen wurde, zogen sich die Franzosen aus den Niederlanden zurück. Anfang 1814 wurde das ganze Land befreit, mit Ausnahme der Stadt Delfzijl, die noch von französischen Truppen gehalten wurde. Dieses programmatische Werk handelt von politischer und militärischer Starrköpfigkeit, vom Verfolgen von Träumen, und darum, dass die Liebe immer ihren eigenen Weg geht. Dirk Brossé, der zu den bekanntesten zeitgenössischen Komponisten zählt, stellt mit diesem epischen Werk eine dramatischeGeschichte dar. Er verwendet hierfür das große Spektrum des Sinfonischen Blasorchesters: Er hat anspruchsvolle Episoden für die Blechbläser, eine große Bandbreite für Schlagwerk und zahlreiche wunderschöne Melodien geschaffen. The Last Friend of Napoleon est basé sur une histoire vraie néerlandaise.Alors que Napoléon est vaincu après sa campagne infructueuse en Russie en octobre 1813, les Français se retirent des Pays-Bas. Au début de 1814, le pays entier a été libéré l’exception de la ville de Delfzijl, toujours occupée par les troupes françaises. Cette œuvre programme aborde l’entêtement politique et militaire, la poursuite de rêves, et l’amour qui suit toujours son propre chemin. De l’un des compositeurs les plus reconnus de nos jours, cette œuvre épique de Dirk Brossé met en musique une histoire dramatique. Il profite pleinement de la palette complète d’un orchestre d’harmoniesymphonique, ce qui entraîne des épisodes stimulants pour les cuivres, une grande variété de percussion et une abondance de matériau mélodique magnifique et puissant. The Last Friend of Napoleon (L'ultimo amico di Napoleone) si basa su un episodio di storia olandese. Dirk Brossé ha creato un'opera epica che descrive una storia drammatica, utilizzando tutte le potenzialit della banda che si esprimono in impegnativi passaggi degli ottoni, nell’ampia gamma di percussioni e in molto materiale bello e melodico.

Avalon–Long Live the King is a medieval fantasy piece depicting the Isle of Avalon where the mystical sword Excalibur of King Arthur was forged. Composer Tyler Arcari unearths a solid piece for young bands that is both bold and dramatic. This piece is sure to spark the imagination of students and give them strong musical content with which they can develop their musicianship.Program Notes:Avalon–Long live the King began its journey as a commission in honor of a dear friend and mentor. David Riggs is one of those band directors that just seems timeless. He is a powerhouse with such a stacked resume that it is easy to forget that at the end of the day he enjoys taking long bike rides with his lovely wife and whittling a piece of wood just as much as being a band director. He has touched so many lives and inspired so many people in our field and beyond. I was humbled, and honored, when I was contacted for the commission. To David, I hope that you one day know how much you mean to so many people, including myself.About the piece:The piece is written with a little homage to David’s long tenure at Avalon Middle school in Pace, Florida. He was certainly treated like a king as the band director and rightly so. It seemed only fitting to add a little medieval fantasy. Avalon is a mystical island in the world of King Arthur where the great sword Excalibur was forged.The piece begins lyrically with a slow introduction with melodic material. This melodic motive is used throughout with slight variations depending on the instrument voicing etc. Care should be taken at m. 10 that the Timpani roll helps to bridge our transition from an exposed section to full tutti. Care should be taken so that the tempo change at m. 19 is brisk and avoids the low brass turning into stomping. Accessories like the China cymbal and tambourine can become overpowering. I recommend having students think of these effects as background in order to make sure they don’t POP out. The dynamic changes at mm. 27-35 should be subito similar to orchestral dynamic changes. Avoid unwritten crescendos in this section. Measures 60–64 are a great opportunity to teach those unwritten dynamics that make music so enjoyable as we lead up to the finale. It was originally left blank for some theatrics in the premiere at David’s retirement concert so I know he would enjoy adding some Cholesterol as David would say.Long Live the King!

The Russian composer Modest Mussorgsky (1839-1881) was self-educated to a large extent but went on to become one of the ?Mighty Five? which also included Balakirev, Cui, Borodin and Rimsky-Korsakov. Today he is considered the innovator of Russian music par excellence. He composed Pictures at an Exhibition in 1874, inspired by ten pictures produced by his then recently deceased friend, the Russian architect and artist Victor Hartmann. The French composer Maurice Ravel made an orchestration of Mussorgsky?s composition in 1922 which is now more well-known and more performed than the original piano suite. For his transcription of Pictures at an Exhibition, Tohru Takahashimade use of the original piano composition by Mussorgsky. The Great Gate of Kiev, issued here separately, is probably the best known melody from this classical masterpiece. De Russische componist Moessorgsky (1839-1881) componeerde Pictures at an Exhibition (Schilderijententoonstelling) in 1874. Zijn inspiratiebron vormden tien schilderijen van de hand van zijn overleden vriend Victor Hartmann,een Russisch architect en kunstenaar. De Franse componist Maurice Ravel maakte in 1922 een orkestratie van Moessorgsky’s compositie - deze is bekender en wordt meer uitgevoerd dan de oorspronkelijke pianosuite. Voor zijn ¬transcriptievan Pictures at an Exhibition gebruikte Tohru Takahahsi echter de originele compositie van Moessorgski. Dit afzonderlijk uitgegeven deel, The Great Gate at Kiev, is waarschijnlijk het bekendst.Obwohl der russische Komponist Modest Petrowitsch Mussorgski hauptsächlich als Komponist von Opern und Liedern bekannt ist, schrieb er auch eine Anzahl von bedeutenden Klavierwerken, wie zum Beispiel die weltberühmte Suite Bilder einer Ausstellung, die vielen besser in der Orchestrierung von Maurice Ravel bekannt ist. Für seine Transkription von Bilder einer Ausstellung griff Tohru Takahashi jedoch auf die ursprüngliche Komposition von Mussorgski zurück. Der separat veröffentlichte Satz Das große Tor von Kiew ist daraus der wohl bekannteste Teil, der immer wieder gerne gespielt und gehört wird.Modest Moussorgski (1839-1881) est considéré comme le grand innovateur de la musique russe. Il a réalisé ses plus grandes créations dans le domaine lyrique, mais n’a jamais manqué de composer des oeuvres pour piano dont le célèbre cycle Tableaux d’une Exposition. Dixième et dernier tableau de la suite, La grande porte de Kiev est certainement le mouvement le plus connu du public. Modest Moussorgski (1839-1881) è considerato il più grande innovatore della musica russa. Ha realizzato le sue più grandi creazioni nel campo della musica lirica, ma ha anche composto opere per pianoforte tra le quali il celebre ciclo Quadri di un’esposizione. Decimo ed ultimo quadro della suite, La grande porta di Kiev è certamente il movimento più conosciuto dal pubblico.

From the beginning of the Middle Ages, we have known performance practices in which the duration of the notes can differ from the actual notation. In some cases, binary written melodies were performed in a ternary way. This isalso the case in the present-day shuffle: the written quavers are performed in a long-short system in which the ratio is 2:1. In other words, the performance practice is based on a triplet feel. In this composition, allingredients of the shuffle are featured: a vigorous swing rhythm, a walking bass, the successions of thirds in the accompaniment and the frequent use of triplets. To make sure that the binary written rhythms in the accompanimentsare performed in the correct ternary manner, Peter Kleine Schaars has notated the melody themes in triplets as much as possible. Thus, this composition is a very useful exercise for the swing development of your ensemble.Additionally, the work is a treat to listen to, so your audience will really appreciate this up-tempo big band like composition. All ternary rhythmic cells 17 till 24 pass in revue, furthermore much attention had been paid to acorrect performance of cell 4 in swing feel. Al vanaf het begin van de middeleeuwen kennen we uitvoeringspraktijken waarbij de lengte van de noten anders kan zijn dan de daadwerkelijke notatie. Zo werden in sommige gevallen binair uitgeschreven melodieën ternair uitgevoerd.Dat is ook het geval bij de hedendaagse shuffle: de geschreven achtsten worden uitgevoerd in een lang-kortsysteem waarbij de verhouding 2:1 geldt. Oftewel de uitvoeringspraktijk is gebaseerd op een triolenfeel. In deze compositiekomen alle ingrediënten van de shuffle aan bod: een stevig swingritme, een walking bass, oplopende tertsenreeksen in de begeleiding en veelvuldig gebruik van triolen. Om ervoor te zorgen dat de binair genoteerde ritmieken in debegeleidingen op de juiste ternaire wijze worden uitgevoerd, heeft Peter Kleine Schaars de melodiethema’s zoveel mogelijk uitgeschreven in triolen. Hierdoor is deze compositie een zeer bruikbare oefening voor de swingontwikkelingvan uw ensemble. Daarnaast is het werk een feest om naar te luisteren en zal het publiek deze uptempo bigbandachtige compositie zeker waarderen. Alle ternaire ritmische cellen 17 tot 24 passeren de revue, daarnaast is er veelaandacht voor een juiste uitvoering van cel 4 in swingfeel. Seit Beginn des Mittelalters sind uns Aufführungspraktiken bekannt, bei denen die Dauer der Noten von der tatsächlichen Notation abweichen kann. In einigen Fällen wurden binär geschriebene Melodien ternär gespielt. Dies ist auchbeim modernen Shuffle der Fall: Die notierten Achtelnoten werden in einem Lang-Kurz-System“ im Verhältnis 2:1 ausgeführt. Mit anderen Worten, die Aufführungspraxis basiert auf einem Triolengefühl. In dieser Komposition sind alleZutaten des Shuffle enthalten: ein kräftiger Swing-Rhythmus, ein Walking Bass, eine Abfolge von Terzen in der Begleitung und die häufige Verwendung von Triolen. Um sicherzustellen, dass die binär geschriebenen Rhythmen in denBegleitungen ternär ausgeführt werden, hat Peter Kleine Schaars die Melodiethemen so weit wie möglich als Triolen notiert. Daher eignet sich diese Komposition zum Üben des Swings. Darüber hinaus hört sich das Stück so schön an,dass Ihr Publikum von dieser schnellen Big-Band-ähnlichen Komposition begeistert sein wird. Die ternären Rhythmus-Einheiten 17 bis 24 kommen alle vor, außerdem wurde ein Schwerpunkt auf die korrekte Umsetzung der Rhythmus-Einheit4 im Swing-Stil gelegt.Si nous remontons au début du Moyen ge, nous savons que, selon certaines coutumes d’interprétation, la durée des notes pouvait différer de la notation. Parfois, des mélodies écrites en binaire étaient même interprétées enternaire. C’est le cas de ce shuffle contemporain : les croches écrites sont jouées selon un système long-court où le rapport est de 2:1. Autrement dit, en pratique, l’interprétation est fondée sur un ressenti ternaire. Tous lesingrédients du shuffle sont présents dans cette composition : un rythme de swing vigoureux, une basse walking, les successions de tierces dans l’accompagnement et l’emploi fréquent de triolets. Pour s’assurer que les rythmesécrits en binaire dans l’accompagnement soient interprétés en ternaire, Peter Kleine Schaars a, dans la mesure du possible, noté les thèmes de la mélodie en triolets. Cette pièce forme donc un exercice très utile pour permettre votre ensemble d’apprendre le swing. En outre, son écoute est un vrai plaisir, et votre public appréciera pleinement cette pièce de style big band au rythme enlevé. Toutes les cellules rythmiques ternaires 17 24 sont passées enrevue et une grande attention a été portée l’interprétation correcte de la cellule 4, donc avec un ressenti swing.

The Tower was commisioned by the concert band of Auneau (France), for their 190th anniversary. The composer was inspired by a medieval tower standing in the city and decided to transcribe in music the life in the middle ages, the gregorian chant of the monks, a village festival, the building of the tower, step by step, and then the evocation of the battle of Auneau, one of the famous religious battles of the middle ages in France.

As part of the year 2023, dedicated to Swiss composers, the Swiss Wind Band Association has commissioned Gauthier Dupertuis to write a new orchestration of the Overture in E-flat major by Stephan Jaeggi. Indeed, an update of the instrumentation was necessary for the interpretation of this work with modern orchestras. Therefore, the orchestration that Gauthier Dupertuis proposes and which he wanted to be faithful to the original while meeting current standards, will allow todayÂ’s orchestras to perform this piece of classical-romantic inspiration. Stephan Jaeggi was a Swiss composer and conductor who was born into a large family in Fulenbach (Canton of Solothurn) in 1903. He began playing the clarinet at the age of 13, then studied music at the Basel Conservatory and attended his military training with the Swiss Army Band. Thereafter, he became the conductor of several wind orchestras. In this role, and also that of a composer, Stephan Jaeggi went on to achieve great success. His early death in 1957 put a premature end to Stephan Jaeggi's creative life. All the more reason why his work lives on with unbroken power to this day.

In the tripartite 'Cowboy Suite' Alan Laken takes us to the Wild West, the domain of cowboys, indians, trappers and other fortune hunters. Around 1890 the west coast of America was reached, which in effect meant the end of the Wild West. Its stories, however, survived and have been a source of inspiration for many books, films, and, of course, music. Some characters, such as Jesse James, Billy the Kid, and Buffalo Bill are forever linked to these tales. In the 'Cowboy Suite' we first hear the 'Hoedown'. At the end of an exhausting workday the labourers used to lay down their tools, among others the 'hoes' and spontaneously began to play music on the instruments which they then possessed (guitars, fiddles, and banjos) and to dance. After being jolted on the 'Wagon Trail' we reach the third part, the 'Cowboy Roundup'. In this last part it becomes clear that as a cattle driver it is imperative to stay firmly seated in the saddle. As the cattle are rounded up, i.e. driven together, spectacular things happen. In de driedelige 'Cowboy Suite' neemt Alan Laken ons mee naar het 'Wilde Westen', het domein van cowboys, indianen, pelsjagers en andere gelukzoekers. Rond 1890, werd de westkust van Amerika bereikt, dit betekende het eindevan het Wilde Westen. Maar de verhalen bleven en waren een bron voor vele boeken, films en natuurlijk muziek. Enkele personages die onlosmakelijk verbonden zijn met deze verhalen zijn: Jesse James, Billy the Kid, en BuffaloBill. In de 'Cowboy Suite' horen we eerst de ‘Hoedown’. Aan het einde van een zware werkdag legden de landarbeiders hun werktuig, o.a. de 'Hoe' (schoffel) neer en begonnen met de dan beschikbare instrumenten (Gitaar, Fiddleen Banjo) spontaan te musiceren en te dansen. In de ‘Wagon Trial’ hobbelen we naar het derde deel, de ‘Cowboy Roundup’. Dat je als veedrijver goed in je zadel moet zitten blijkt wel in het laatste deel. Tijdens de 'Roundup'(het bijeendrijven van het vee) gaat het er spectaculair aan toe.

The Sacred Spheres by Tyler S. Grant is written in two contrasting movements. The title of the first movement, From Harmony, from heav'nly harmony..., comes directly from the first line of John Dryden's poem, A Song for St. Cecilia's Day. The first few notes musically depict the beginning of the universal framework described in the text through delicate textures and orchestrations that develop as the movement progresses. The second stanza of the poem highlights the capacity for musical elements to inspire passion, which is represented at the climax of the first movement. The second movement, Cries, hark the foe comes, picks up the poem from the third stanza, highlighting the spectrum of emotions that can be summoned by various instruments. The beginning of the movement highlights the trumpet's loud clangor along with drums that inspire war and conflict. The movement transitions to a section of mourning through the sound of a warbling flute. The ending of the movement combines the final stanzas along with the Grand Chorus to recapitulate earlier material and create a celebratory and impactful finale. Commissioned by a consortium of bands in honor of Randall O. Coleman; Recorded by the Kennesaw State University Wind Ensemble.

Inspired by the legend of a mythical ancient kingdom (in present day South Carolina), The Land Called Chicora is a programmatic work telling of the 16th century Spanish and French explorers in search of this treasured civilization. With descriptive scenes ranging from the majestic sailing ships along the coast, to the foreboding forests of the interior, to the impending treachery of the natives' threatened way of life, this impressive work is both magical and rewarding.

This piece was commissioned by Matsudo Citizen Wind Orchestra for their 30th anniversary concert and premiered by the band conducted by Kenichiro Hasunuma in July 2009. This piece is typical of Satoshi Yagisawa in that it depicts a magnificent spectacle. This one is set in ancient Egypt and is based on the story depicted in the famous film The Ten Commandments (1956, directed by Cecil B. DeMille). One day Moses, who was raised by the rich royal family, found out that he was originally Hebrew. The Hebrews had been forced to live as slaves. Ramses, the prince directly descended from the Pharaoh, envied Moses' strength and popularity. After internal argument Moses decides todeliver the Hebrew from the Pharaoh's tyranny and escape from Egypt with them.The music starts with brilliant royal fanfare and depicts magnificent architecture, the Hebrew people forced into hard labour, and the slaves escaping from the Pharaoh's tyranny. At the climax they are at crisis point, trapped by the sea. Moses waves his staff and the miracle happens; the sea parts and Hebrew people successfully escape. Following on from Perseus - A Hero's Quest in the Heavens, this work Moses and Ramses is another piece written in the dramatic style favoured by Satoshi Yagisawa. Het oude testament verhaalt van Mozes die met zijn volk Egypte verlaat, na zijn strijd met de jonge farao Ramses. De film The Ten Commandments uit 1956 is gebaseerd op dit verhaal. Satoshi Yagisawa zette de beelden van dezemonumentale film om in de karakteristiek dramatische stijl die zo eigen is voor de verfilming. De muzikale beelden geven het koninklijke paleis weer, maar ook de architectonische pracht en praal van het oude Egypte. Ook komen deverlossing van de slavernij en de uittocht aan bod. Natuurlijk met als hoogtepunt dat Mozes de zee opent en het volk door de zee uit Egypte leidt. Een fantastisch spektakel!Von Moses, der nach einem Streit mit dem jungen Ramses mit seinem ganzen Volk, Israel, das Land verliess, erzahlt das alte Testament und der darauf basierende Film Die zehn Gebote von 1965. Satoshi Yagisawa setzte die Bilder dieses monumentalen Films in seinem charakteristischen dramatischen Stil um: Die musikalischen Bilder zeigen den Konigshof, die architektonische Pracht des alten Agypten, das versklavte Volk Israel und natürlich die Flucht mit dem Hohepunkt, als Moses das Meer teilt. Ein prachtvolles Spektakel!Moses and Ramses (Moise et Ramses) est une commande de l'Orchestre d'Harmonie de la ville de Matsudo au Japon, a l'occasion des festivites marquant le trentieme anniversaire de la creation de la formation. La premiere mondiale a eu lieu en juillet 2009. Elle fut assuree par la formation dedicataire, placee sous la direction de Kenichiro Hasunuma. Apres Perseus - A Hero's Quest in the Heavens, Satoshi Yagisawa nous livre une nouvelle œuvre dramatique, flamboyante et epique. L'action se deroule en Egypte ancienne, et suit la chronologie du celebre film biblique Les Dix Commandements (1956), du realisateur americain Cecil B. DeMille. Le jeune Moisegrandit au sein de la riche famille royale egyptienne. Devenu adulte, il decouvre ses origines hebraiques. Or, Pharaon a reduit les Hebreux en esclavage. Le prince Ramses, descendant direct de Pharaon, envie la force et la gloire de Moise. Apres une querelle grave, Moise doit fuir dans le desert. Dans son exil, il decide de delivrer son peuple de la tyrannie de Pharaon et de le mener hors d'Egypte. L'œuvre debute avec une fanfare royale flamboyante qui sonne la grandeur architecturale de l'Egypte. Le peuple d'Israel est condamne a subir les travaux forces ; des esclaves echappent a la tyrannie du Pharaon. Lorsque la musique atteint sa densite maximale, les Hebreux en fuite sont accules devant la mer Rouge. Moise invoque Dieu. Celui-ci lui ordonne de lever son baton au-dessus des eaux de la mer Rouge. Moise obeit et le miracle se produit ; les eaux se divisent en deux pour laisser passer les enfants d'Israel.

A sinister legend hangs over the Borgia family, a legend of corruption, abuse of power, orgies, sex and murder. These rumors proliferated especially during the papacy of Alexander VI, a descendant of the family, who was even called the Antichrist. On his death, contemporary witnesses reported that the devil himself prowled around the death chamber and a black dog run along the corridors of the Vatican as his emissary. One might say that this Borgia pope, who ruled together with his family with the greatest brutality, became demonized. Unscrupulousness, poison-toting, incest and other malice are to this day the hallmarks of this pontiff. 2. NEPOTISM Rodrigo Borgia was elected Pope on August 11, 1492. From the very start, the new pope was prepared to use any means to eliminate his opponents, either through the infamous “Borgia poison” or by excommunication and execution. His son Cesare, who wanted little to do with the church, was appointed cardinal against his will. Alessandro Farnese, broth of Giulia Farnese, the Pope's mistress, also became a cardinal. Numerous Spaniards were brought into the country and were appointed to ecclesiastical posts. This infuriated the opponents of Alexander VI. The Dominican Girolamo Savonarola from Florence demanded the removal of the Pope. He was tortured and banned. Giuliano della Rovere wanted to convene councils to depose the Pope, which Alexander managed to prevent through artful political maneuverings. Through great brutality, brillian political skill and power games, this pope was able to achieve his goal of leaving for his children a great legacy. Alexander VI constantly changed his allies and always acted unscrupulously to improve his financial situation and expand his sphere of influence. At the centre of the second movement of this work is the medieval hymn Dies Irae (Day of Wrath), which acts as a warning in the background condemning the Pope's actions.

Can't Take My Eyes Off You war ein Riesenerfolg für das Duo Bob Crewe und Bob Gaudio. Bekannte Künstler, wie unter anderem Diana Ross, Gloria Gaynor und später die Pet Shop Boys, brachten den Titel über drei Jahrzehnte hinweg immer wieder in die Hitparaden und die Menschen in den Discos zum Tanzen. Toshio Mashima bearbeitete den unwiderstehlich flotten Popsongs für Blasorchester. Bei diesem Titel kann niemand still sitzen! Les auteurs-compositeurs Bob Crewe et Bob Gaudio ont formé un tandem couronné de succès. Dans les années 60 et 70, ils signent de nombreux tubes pour Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons dont l’immense standard de l’année 1967, Can’t Take My Eyes Off You. Toshio Mashima signe cet arrangement entraînant pour Orchestre d’Harmonie. There have been many arrangements of Beatles’ songs for various kinds of ensembles, so rather than just producing a further medley of Beatles’ hits, Peter Kleine Schaars has added a new twist to them with this excellent new work. All You Need Is Love and With a Little Help from my Friends pass by in a swing march, Michelle sounds like a newly composed ballad and When I’m Sixty Four is played in Dixie swing style. A Hard Day’s Night is transformed into a funk theme with a samba interlude, Let It Be into a slow march, and Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da in a rock beat. Experience The Beatles as you have never heard them before.
