Concert Band/Harmonie - Grade 2.5

SKU: BT.GOB-000776-010

Arranged by Menno Haantjes. Set (Score & Parts). 81 pages. Gobelin Music Publications #GOB 000776-010. Published by Gobelin Music Publications (BT.GOB-000776-010).

Whereas ‘Auld Lang Syne’ may be considered the best-known Scottish song ever, yet at the same time it is an obscure one, for there are but few people who know the complete text by heart.
After the familiar ‘Should auld acquaintance be forgot .....‘ many people take their refuge to lyrics like ‘rum tee dum ta dee ..... lah, lah, lah ........... for auld lang syne’.
Even in Scotland only a handful of persons know the entire text and are able to give a correct rendering of it.
The current lyrics have been attributed to the Scottish poet Robert Burns. Burns, however, he did not write the whole poem : after he had heard an old man sing the centuries-old Scotchballad, he wrote it down and added a number of stanzas (1788).
Historical research teaches us that the ballad served many purposes, both political and religious.
Nowadays, ‘Auld Lang Syne’ is sung as a Christmas Carol and it is also sung on New Year’s Eve at the turning of the year. Apart from that, though, the song is also sung on many other occasions sometimes with different lyrics, which usually have Love, Friendship and/or Parting as their themes, as these go well with the fascinating melody.

In this arrangement a low-sounding solo instrument is central. The harmonization in the accompaniment fits in perfectly with the sentiments this song will evoke.

Should auld acquaintance be forgot
And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquintance be forgot.
And days of auld lang syne?
For auld lang syne, my dear,
For auld lang syne,
We’ll take a cup of kindness yet,
For auld lang syne.

Misschien wel het meest bekende Schotse lied, maar tegelijkertijd ook het minst bekende, er zijn er maar weinig mensen die de tekst mee kunnen zingen.
Na het bekende ‘Should auld acquaintaintance be forgot and .....‘ vervallenvelen in ‘rum tee dum ta dee ..... lah, lah, lah ........... for auld lang syne’.
Zelfs in Schotland is maar een enkeling in staat de tekst correct weer te geven.
De huidige versie wordt toegeschreven aan de Schotse dichterRobert Burns. Burns heeft echter niet de hele tekst gemaakt.
Toen hij de eeuwen oude Schotse ballade door een oude man hoorde zingen, heeft hij enkele verzen toegevoegd (1788).
Historisch onderzoek leert dat de ballade voorveel doeleinden gebruikt werd, voor politieke als ook religieuze doelen.
Tegenwoordig wordt ‘Auld Lang Syne’ gebruikt als Christmas Carol en wordt het gezongen tijdens de jaarwisseling op oudejaarsavond.Het lied, soms meteen andere tekst, wordt echter op veel meer plaatsen gebruikt.
Liefde, Vriendschap en Afscheid zijn dan meestal de sentimenten die gecombineerd worden met de meeslepende melodie.

In dit arrangement staat een ‘laag’ solo-instrumentcentraal.
De harmonisatie in de begeleiding sluit naadloos aan bij deze gevoelens die dit lied oproepen.

Should auld acquaintance be forgot
And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquintance beforgot
And days of auld lang syne?
For auld lang syne, my dear,
For auld lang syne,
We’ll take a cup of kindness yet,
For auld lang syne.

This lovely Scottish hymn, also known as The Lord's My Shepherd, first appeared in 1929 in the Scottish songbook Northern Psalter, where it was incorrectly credited to David Grant, an Aberdeen businessman and amateur musician. It was, in fact, composed by Jessie Irvine the daughter of the parish minister at Crimond. This arrangement will be a musical jewel in your concert repertoire.

Crimond ist ein geistliches Lied aus Schottland aus dem Jahr 1836. Falschlicherweise zunachst einem Geschaftsmann und Amateurmusiker zugeschrieben, stellte sich spater heraus, dass die Musik tatsachlich von Jessie Irvine, der Tochter eines Kusters, komponiert worden war. Die schone Melodie der sonst unbekannten Komponistin gelangte 1929 schliesslich in ein schottisches Gesangbuch. Herman Oldenstijl hat nun dieses musikalische Kleinod auf eindrucksvolle Weise bearbeitet.

Realms of Endless Day is a fantasy setting of the hymn tune melody, Picardy. This melody, thought to have been named for the region in France where it is believed the melody originated, is also the melody for the hymns Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence and Christians, Let Us Love One Another, as well as the Hymn of Saint James. This enduring and tuneful melody is given three contrasting statements that gradually build to an exciting conclusion. This piece is scored for full orchestra by arranger Michael Kamuf, but will work quite effectively with strings alone. (3:30).

Composed by Carl Wittrock. Score Only. 44 pages. Gobelin Music Publications #GOB 000356-140. Published by Gobelin Music Publications (BT.GOB-000356-140).

His love for Italy explains Carl Wittrock solid in the composition Tignale, named after the same village that he visited one of his vacations.
This village dominates the image of the western shore of Lake Garda, where it has a view on the Monte Baldo at the other side of the lake.
It is a busy resort and center for excursions in the area.
The enchanting location and stunning natural beauty inspired the composer to a musical description of Tignale and its surroundings.
An impressive work and a wonderful challenge for orchestras in the middle section. De liefde voor Italië legt Carl Wittrock vast in de compositie Tignale, genoemd naar het gelijknamige dorpje dathij op een van zijn vakanties bezocht.
Dit dorp beheerst het beeld van de westoever van het Gardameer, waar het uitziet op de berg Monte Baldo aan de overzijde.
Het is een druk bezocht vakantieoord en middelpunt voor het maken van uitstapjes in de omgeving.
De betoverende locatie en het overweldigend natuurschoon inspireerden de componist tot een zeer beeldende muzikale schildering van Tignale en haar omgeving.
Een indrukwekkend werk en een prachtige uitdaging voor orkesten in de middenafdeling.
