The music for Daedalus' Labyrinth is loosely based on the story first presented by Homer. You'll hear the musical twists, rhythmic turns, and harmonic changes that have made Sean O'Loughlin's music so popular. This is a sophisticated work, but well worth the effort for the advancing band. Conquer the Labryrinth!

Your band can boldly go where no band has gone before with James L. Hosay's imaginative tone poem SPACE PROBE. Since the 1970s NASA has been launching long-range, solar-powered probes into space. This composition provides excellent opportunities for cross-curriculum teaching with science -- over the past 30 years, the Voyager, Pioneer, and Galileo series probes have sent back incredible photographs. The data sent to Earth by these probes (along with photos and information gathered by the Hubble telescope) has helped astronomers chart the ever-expanding universe all the way back to its origins. A scintillating musical spacescape ushers in a bold thematic statement in the trumpets and alto saxophones; French horns join in thrilling variation. A boundless contrasting espressivo theme soars through to the reprise of the initial ideas. Explore this inspiring work with your band this year.

This work was written for the Donaueschingen Musiktage of 1926 and given its first performance there together with Paul Hindemith's 'Konzertmusik' and Ernst Toch's 'Spiel' for wind band. Until a few years ago the score was thought to be lost. This first edition reproduces the original Version but it has been carefully extended so that it can be played by the usual combination of Instruments now found in a wind band. The work is suitable for advanced wind bands and those at the highest level, and is one of the first original compositions for this form of ensemble.Hans Gal was born in Vienna where he studied composition and musicology and then taught at the university. From 1929 until 1933 he was Director of the Musikhochschule in Mainz. He then had to return to Vienna and he emigrated to Edinburgh where he was a university lecturer and conductor. Together with Eusebius Mandyczewski he published the collected works of Brahms1 Piccolo-Flote, 2 Floten, 1 Oboe ad lib., 1 Fagott ad lib., 1 Klarinette in Es, 3 Klarinetten in B, 1 Bass-Klarinette in B ad lib., 2 Alt-Saxophone in Es ad lib., 1 Tenor-Saxophon in B ad lib., 1 Bariton-Saxophon in es ad lib., 3 Horner in F, 2 Trompeten in B, 3 Posaunen, 2 Flugelhorner in B, 2 Tenorhorner in B, 1 Bariton, 2 Tuben, Pauken, Schlagzeug: kleine Trommel, grosse Trommel, Tamburin, Triangel, Becken).

There are just over twenty secular cantatas in Bach's prolific output, which include The Coffee Cantata (No 211), The Wedding Cantata (No 202), Phoebus and Pan (No 201) and the Hunt Cantata (No 208) which contains the famous aria Sheep May Safely Graze. Written for four vocal soloists it was originally scored for a relatively large orchestra (including flutes (recorders), oboes and horns) and mixed choir. Although secular in character, the words describe how well a faithful shepherd keeps watch over his flock and hence has obvious allusions to the teachings of the Christian church. Bring a bit of the Baroque era to your concert with this first class arrangement by Philip Sparke.Bach schreef zijn Jachtcantate (BWV 208) - met daarin de aria Schafe können sicher weiden (Sheep May Safely Graze) - in 1713, ter gelegenheid van de verjaardag van hertog Christian van Sachsen-Weißenfels. Later volgdenbewerkingen voor vergelijkbare verjaardagsfeesten en naamdagen. De cantate is geschreven voor vier solisten (Diana, Pales, Endymion en Pan), een relatief groot orkest (met (blok)fluiten, hobo’s en hoorns) en koor. Sheep MaySafely Graze wordt gezongen door Pales, de godin van kudden en weiden, begeleid door een paar blokfluiten of dwarsfluiten. Deze bewerking van Philip Sparke betekent een verrijking voor elk repertoire.Bachs produktives Schaffen brachte nur etwa zwanzig weltliche Kantaten hervor, darunter auch die Jagd-Kantate (BWV 208),welche die berühmte Arie Schafe können sicher weiden enthält.

Bringen Sie mit dieser gelungenen Bearbeitung etwas barocke Atmosphäre in Ihr Konzert! L’immense production de Jean-Sébastien Bach ne contient qu’une vingtaine de cantates profanes dont la Cantate du café (BWV 211), la Cantate du mariage (BWV 202), Phébus et Pan (BWV 201) et la Cantate de la chasse (BWV 208), dont est extrait l’air Sheep May Safely Graze (Schafe können sicher weiden - Que les brebis paissent en paix). Bach était depuis peu au service du duc de Weimar lorsqu’il accepta, en 1713, une invitation Weißenfels pour l’anniversaire du duc Christian de Saxe-Weißenfels. cette occasion, il composa la Cantate de la chasse, une cantate de félicitations l’adresse du duc, passionné de chasse. Par la suite, Bachremania cette cantate pour célébrer d’autres fêtes et anniversaires. La Cantate de la chasse est orchestrée pour quatre voix solistes incarnant des figures mythologiques (Diane, Pales, Endymion et Pan), un ensemble orchestral assez large (incluant des fl tes/fl tes bec, des hautbois et des cors) et un Chœur mixte. Le texte, chantant les vertus de la chasse, est un panégyrique peine déguisé du duc régnant. Accompagnée par deux fl tes (fl tes bec), Palès, déesse des troupeaux et des p tures, entonne l’air Sheep May Safely Graze. Bien que de caractère profane, le texte utilise l’image du berger comme l’image même de la gr ce en référence une parole fondamentale de Jésus.

Accompagnata da due flauti dolci, Pales, Dea dei greggi e dei pastori, intona l’aria Sheep May Safely Graze. Pur se di carattere profano, il testo utilizza l’immagine del pastore come l’immagine della grazia riportata ad una parola fondamentale di Gesù.

Second to None is a perfectly suitable title for this work, though it actually refers to “Nulli Secundusâ€, the motto of the British Corps of Army Music, who gave the commission to Philip Sparke. The piece opens with a fanfare, followed by two short quotes from two of the Corp’s own marches and a festive Vivace. A more legato central section creates a nice contrast before the work closes with the opening fanfare. A perfect affair! De titel Second to None past heel goed bij dit werk, maar verwijst eigenlijk naar ‘Nulli Secundus’, het motto van British Army Corps of Music, het orkest dat Philip Sparke de opdracht voor dit werk gaf. Second to None opent met een fanfare. Daarna volgen twee korte citaten uit twee van de eigen marsen van het orkest en een feestelijke Vivace. Een meer legato deel creëert een mooi contrast voordat het werk wordt afgesloten met de openingsfanfare. Van begin tot einde prachtig!Second to None (Unübertroffen“) wurde zum 20-jährigen Jubiläum der britischen Armee komponiert. Das feierliche Werk honoriert die musikalische Tradition des Corps, indem es auf einige seiner eigenen berühmten Märsche, wie beispielsweise The Corps of Army Music Slow March (Greg Machin) und The Music Makers (Ian Mitchell), anspielt. Second to None kann auch in einer kürzeren Fassung gespielt werden und ist ein ideales Erönungsstück für jedes festliche Konzert.Second to None est un titre qui convient parfaitement ce morceau, même s’il fait en fait référence « Nulli Secundus », la devise du British Corps of Army Music, l'orchestre qui a fait la commande auprès de Philip Sparke. La pièce commence par une fanfare, suivie de deux citations courtes de deux de leurs propres marches, et un Vivace festif. Une section plus legato crée un beau contraste avant la fin où la fanfare du début est répétée. Parfait !Second to None (Secondo a nessuno) è un titolo perfetto per questo lavoro, anche se in realt si riferisce a “Nulli Secundusâ€, il motto del British Corps of Army Music, che lo ha commissionato a Philip Sparke. Il brano si apre con una fanfara, seguita da due brevi citazioni, prese da due delle marce del Corpo e da un gioioso Vivace. Una sezione centrale, che da più spazio al legato, crea un piacevole contrasto con la fanfara iniziale prima della chiusura del brano. Un connubio perfetto!

The Wishing Well paints a musical portrait of a young child approaching a well and making a wish. The music ebbs and flows, utilizing solo instruments as well as the full ensemble, describing the water at the bottom of the well. Reaching the climax of the piece, the main theme is stated as the child tosses a coin into the well, and we follow its path down to the water.

The premier performance of The Rite of Spring in 1913 is the stuff of legends. There are disagreements amongst the people who attended whether it was the music or the choreography that caused the near-riot in the audience. Since then The Rite has been performed regularly and is considered to be one of the most influential works of the 20th century, laying the basis for modern jazz, film music and even heavy metal. It's all here: the driving rhythms, the haunting Russian folk melodies, the brilliant scoring, the crunching harmonies and the epic drama! The intention with this arrangement for band was to stay as true as possible to the original and choose the sections that would work well in this context. Sure to become a valued and important addition to the wind band repertoire! Duration: 6:30.
