Soaring is an exciting composition for solo trumpet and concert band. The music is celebratory in nature and features the dynamic and rhythmic range of the trumpet. The piece opens with an American rhythmic gesture reminiscent of Aaron Copland and John Williams. The trumpet answers this gesture with a bold cadenza that will transform into the main melody a little later on in the piece. If you have a good trumpet player, this would be a great choice to feature them or it can be used with a feature soloist from elsewhere. Just gorgeous.

Written in the Italian style - with a pinch of Sousa, Marcia a Montecelio was composed on pure inspiration in just two days. This concert march will excite your audience and challenge your ensemble.Monticello is the name of a little place northeast of Rome where my wife and I have rented a simple home for more than 20 years. We participated intensively in the cultural life of the community where there was also a little band, the Banda Municipale Cornicolana, which consisted of about 55 wind players, mostly youngsters. One day, the Il Direttore came to me and asked if I would like to write a march for them, which I naturally did. It became the Marcia a Montecelio. After 14 rehearsals, with everyone tired, perspiring and red in the face, we were forced to give up. The march was too difficult for them. I then wrote another, easier march for them to perform at the forthcoming feast of San Michaeli. The Montecelio march was composed on pure inspiration in just two days. It is written in the Italian style - with a pinch of Sousa.

Pulcinella was commissioned by the Taiwanese euphonium player Tzu-Hsiang Lin. Lin is a renowned soloist and teacher and a Besson Euphonium Artist. He teaches euphonium at Taipei National University of the Arts, National Taiwan University of Arts, Shih Chien University and National Kaohsiung Normal University. Pulcinella continues SparkeÂ’s series of euphonium solos named after characters of the Italian commedia dellÂ’arte and opens with a long and expressive minor melody for the soloist over a brooding accompaniment. This is taken up briefly by the piano and is extended by the soloist after a change of key. A cadenza, accompanied by fragments of the main melody leads to a complete change of mood, tempo and tonality, introducing a Vivo section starting with a perky syncopated tune for the soloist. The piano then uses elements of this new tune to introduce a change of key, where the soloist introduces a more lyrical second subject over a pulsing accompaniment. The piano then takes this up and changes key to reintroduce the original Vivo melody, which leads to a short and acrobatic coda to bring the work to a spectacular close.

Adventus, meaning arrival or debut and celebratory in nature, was written to showcase the playing achievements of students. After a bold fanfare statement, the main theme is developed (first playfully, then with more grandeur). A contrasting moment of calm transitions to the exciting return of the opening theme, followed by triumphant closing material. Written squarely for Grade 1 players but with an attractive, mature sound that belies its level, Adventus, by Scott Watson, would make the perfect concert opener or closer. (2:30) Correlates to Sound Innovations, Book 1, Level 5.

Claudio Monteverdi composed this toccata as an instrumental introduction for the opera L’Orfeo (1607). According to the composer, this introduction should be played three times before the rising of the curtain. This is actually the first overture in the history of opera.)The story of Orfeo, who enchanted nature with his music, is tragic, as he loses his beloved Eurydice and decides to retrieve her from the underworld. On their return journey, one glance back at her is fatal: he loses her for the second time.)This arrangement for wind band is very suitable as a concert opener. The toccata is played three times just like the original. The first time it is played by a quintetconsisting of two trumpets and three trombones.)Various ways of performing this toccata are possible. The tension builds up more intensely if the quintet starts off stage. Eventually, these five players join the band, after which the tutti version follows two times. You can also have the brass play from the gallery during the second or third time for a double choir effect. Claudio Monteverdi componeerde deze toccata als instrumentale inleiding tot de opera L’Orfeo (1607). Dit arrangement voor harmonieorkest is dan ook heel geschikt als openingswerk. De toccata wordt drie keer gespeeld, de eerste keer door een kwintet van twee trompetten en drie trombones. De opbouw van de spanning is intenser als het kwintet in de coulissen of achter het podium begint. Vervolgens voegen deze vijf muzikanten zich bij de rest van het orkest, waarna de tutti-versie nog twee keer klinkt.Claudio Monteverdi schrieb diese Toccata als instrumentales Vorspiel zur Oper l'Orfeo. Sie sollte drei Mal vor der Hebung des Vorhangs gespielt werden. Damit hatte er tatsächlich die erste Ouvertüre der Operngeschichte geschaffen! Wie im Original, wird auch in dieser Bearbeitung die Toccata drei Mal gespielt: zunächst von einem Trompeten- und Posaunenquintett, dann zwei Mal vom gesamten Blasorchester. Ein ideales Eröffnungswerk!Claudio Monteverdi (1567-1643) a composé cette toccata instrumentale pour l’ouverture de son opéra tragique L’Orfeo (1607). Selon le souhait du compositeur, cette pièce d’introduction doit être jouée trois fois rideau baissé. Ce faisant, Monteverdi a composé la première ouverture dans l’histoire de l’opéra. Cet arrangement pour Orchestre d’Harmonie est idéal pour débuter un concert. Fidèle la version originale, la Toccata est interprétée trois fois dont la première par un quintette composé de trois trombones et de deux trompettes.Claudio Monteverdi (1567-1643) compose questa Toccata strumentale per l’ouverture dell’opera tragica L’Orfeo (1607). Il compositore desiderava che questo brano di apertura fosse eseguito tre volte a sipario chiuso. Così facendo, compose la prima ouverture nella storia dell’opera. Questo arrangiamento per banda è ideale per iniziare un concerto. Fedele alla versione originale, la Toccata è interpretata tre volte, di cui la prima dal quintetto composto da tre tromboni e due trombe.

A Moorside Suite was written in 1928 as a test piece for the National Brass Band Festival championship competition held that year. The three-movement work includes a jaunty Scherzo, a lovely Nocturne, and the popular March, which has enjoyed countless performances since its premiere. Douglas E. Wagner created this arrangement with younger players in mind. Though slightly abridged, the main themes and styles are present in a carefully-crafted performance piece accessible to concert bands at this level. This authentic arrangement still bears Holst's unmistakable musical signature. (3:35).

Arrows of Lightning is a work in four movements by the Luxembourg composer Marco Pütz. American Indian songs and poems, which includes a song that translates as Arrows of Lightning, served as the inspiration for this composition.In this song, the arrows were charmed by means of singing and dancing so that they would go faster - as fast as lightning. The scoring enables this piece to be performed by a band without a full contingent of players. A fantasticwild-west adventure for your band. Dur: 10:10 (Grade 2-1/2)Arrows of Lightning is een werk in vier delen van de hand van de Luxemburgse componist Marco Pütz. Als inspiratie voor deze compositie gebruikte hij een bundel met oude indiaanse liederen en gedichten. Arrows of Lightningis de vertaling van een oud indiaans lied. Hiermee bezwoer men de pijlen die voor de jacht bedoeld waren door middel van zang en dans, zodat ze sneller - zo snel als de bliksem - zouden gaan. De componist meende dat deze titeleen pakkende hoofdtitel zou vormen voor dit geheel van dansen en/of liederen. Met Rocking the Cradle, The Mystical Song, Circle Dance en Battle Dance.Zu diesem Werk ließ sich der Luxemburger Marco Pütz von einem indianischen Gedichte- und Liederalbum inspirieren. Die vier Sätze Rocking the Cradle, The Mystical Song, Circle Dance und Battle Dance greifen teilweise auf überlieferte indianische Gesänge zurück, teils entsprangen sie der Fantasie des Komponisten. Die Instrumentierung lässt auch eine unvollständige Besetzung zu, nur die Schlaginstrumente sollten vollständig besetzt sein. Ungewöhnlich und kreativ!Arrows of Lightning (“Les flèches de l’éclairâ€) est une œuvre en quatre mouvements du compositeur luxembourgeois Marco Pütz. Cette composition puise ses racines dans un recueil de chants et de poèmes améridiens anciens. Le titre de l’œuvre est la traduction d’un vieux chant indien chanté avant la chasse, et généralement accompagné d’une danse, pour ensorceler les flèches afin qu’elles soient rapides comme l’éclair. Séduit par cette histoire, c'est donc tout naturellement que le compositeur décida de reprendre ce titre pour définir son œuvre.1. Rocking the Cradle (“Berceuseâ€)2. The Mystical Song (“Chant mystiqueâ€)3. Circle Dance(“Danse en cercleâ€)4. Battle Dance (“Danse de combatâ€)Si les thèmes des différents mouvements émanent pour l’essentiel de danses ou chants amérindiens, ils sont enrichis d’éléments thématiques issus de l’imaginaire du compositeur. Les Indiens d’Amérique, leur grande culture, leur manière de vivre en harmonie avec le milieu naturel ont toujours fasciné Marco Pütz.L’orchestration a été réalisée de manière être également adaptée des ensembles effectif incomplet. Cependant, il est conseillé de couvrir toutes les voix de percussion.
