Concert Band/Harmonie - Grade 6

SKU: BT.DHP-0900206-010

Composed by Dirk Brossé. Sovereign Series. Set (Score & Parts). Composed 1990. De Haske Publications #DHP 0900206-010. Published by De Haske Publications (BT.DHP-0900206-010).

With the sound of trumpets and a long drum roll Dirk Brossé takes you to the splendour of the opening ceremony of a bullfight! The rhythm and the use of South American percussion instruments convey a festive atmosphere whilst broad lines and bright colours describe the solemn nature of this event. The imaginary bull is received with great acclaim with the full band playing. Two contrasting themes represent the heroic matador and the condemned bull. The audience cheers as the bull collapses and strong final chords round off the triumph of the matador. The final quiet notes give a feeling of melancholy reflecting the sad end of this story.

Das sinfonische Gedicht El Golpe Fatal zeichnet in musikalisch ausdrucksstarken Bildern einen lateinamerikanischen Stierkampf, eine corrida de torros nach. Von der feierlichen Eröffnung der corrida, über den verhängnisvollen Schlag bis hin zur Ehrenrunde des siegreichen Matadors kann der Zuhörer den Verlauf dieses spannenden Zweikampfes verfolgen.El Gople Fatal, eine höchst anspruchsvolle Komposition, ist für jedes Orchester eine echte Herausforderung.

Everyone remembers the first time that they saw a snake. Though fascinating to some and terrifying to others, few animals are as universally mesmerizing. Composer Tyler Arcari has crafted a very fun piece making use of auxiliary percussion instruments to emulate a snake's hiss or ominous rattle. With very strong and interesting melodic material, and scored to make a developing band sound great, this piece is sure to be a favorite among students.
Everyone remembers the first time that they saw a snake. The majority of people have a base fear of them, while others have a “heebie-jeebies” experience. We all know how the great explorer Dr. Indiana Jones felt about snakes, especially when he famously fell into a snake pit during Raiders of the Lost Ark. However you feel about snakes, a pit of them certainly sounds like an adventure.About the work:Snake Pit uses a lot of auxiliary percussion instruments. Some of these sounds are intended to subtly mimic the sounds that snakes make. The maraca in m. 4, of course, is a rattler’s call! The Chinese cymbal is intended to sound like the “hiss” of a not-so-friendly serpent. The eighth-note pattern at m. 9 is used throughout as a “creepy” effect using dynamic contrast so take care to emphasize this when present.I enjoy the gong as a “color” instrument in the band. I try to balance it with the low brass. Take care that at m. 42 the gong is not “front-and center” but more of a support for the nice accented chords in the low brass. Also, the trumpets can become spaced too much here. The accents are more for emphasis and less space.

Something is not right . . . a growing sense of danger is in the air. Dark colors, minor chords, shifting tonalities, and eerie melodic lines warn us of the consequences of playing with fire. (4:00).

In the key of D minor, this piece features a dark and militaristic-sounding melody coupled with a brighter countermelody. Strong accents, rhythmic syncopations, and bold chords shape these melodies into several iterations, leading to a rousing coda.
