De melodie van Fascination werd al in 1905 gecomponeerd door Fermo Dante Marchetti. In de jaren dertig werd er zowel een Franse als een Engelse tekst op gezongen. In 1957 werd het lied opnieuw bekend doordat het werd gebruiktvoor de Amerikaanse film Love in the Afternoon, met onder anderen Audrey Hepburn en Gary Cooper. Daarna bleef ¬Fascination opeenvolgende generaties fascineren. Toshimo Mashima’s bewerking is daarvan een fraai bewjs.

Die Melodie von Fascination wurde schon 1905 vom U-Musik-Komponist Dante Pilade Fermo“ Marchetti komponiert. In den 30-Jahren wurde sie erfolgreich auf Französisch und Englisch gesungen und erreichte 1957 erneut großen Ruhm durch den amerikanischen Film Love in the Afternoon und mehrere darauf folgende Aufnahmen. Fascination, das tatsächlich schon mehrere Generationen fasziniert hat, wird auch in Toshio Mashimas Blasorchesterbearbeitung überzeugen!

En 1904, Dante Fermo Marchetti (1876-1940) compose son plus grand succès, la valse lente Fascination (sous-titrée « valse tzigane »). Dans les années 30, Maurice de Féraudy écrira un texte français pour accompagner la musique. C’est néanmoins dans sa version anglaise que la chanson connaîtra un immense succès en 1957, après avoir été intégrée dans la bande originale de la comédie romantique Ariane (Love in the Afternoon) avec Audrey Hepburn et Gary Cooper. Fascination a fasciné des générations d’auditeurs. L’arrangement de Toshio Mashima est aussi délicieusement charmant que la version originale.

The piece reflects the composer's fascination with the origins of the universe and deep space in general. The title comes from a theory, formulated by Pythagoras, that the cosmos was ruled by the same laws he had discovered that govern the ratios of note frequencies of the musical scale. (‘Harmonia’ in Ancient Greek, which means scale or tuning rather than harmony - Greek music was monophonic). He also believed that these ratios corresponded to the distances of the six known planets from the sun and that the planets each produced a musical note which combined to weave a continuous heavenly melody (which, unfortunately, we humans cannot hear). In this work, these six notesform the basis of the sections MUSIC OF THE SPHERES and HARMONIA. The pieces opens with a horn solo called t = 0, a name given by some scientists to the moment of the Big Bang when time and space were created, and this is followed by a depiction of the BIG BANG itself, as the entire universe bursts out from a single point. A slower section follows called THE LONELY PLANET which is a meditation on the incredible and unlikely set of circumstances which led to the creation of the Earth as a planet that can support life, and the constant search for other civilisations elsewhere in the universe. ASTEROIDS AND SHOOTING STARS depicts both the benign and dangerous objects that are flying through space and which constantly threaten our planet, and the piece ends with THE UNKNOWN, leaving in question whether our continually expanding exploration of the universe will eventually lead to enlightenment or destruction.

Dit werk weerspiegelt de fascinatie van de componist voor het heelal. Het begint met een hoornsolo met de naam t = 0, waarmee sommige wetenschappers de oerknal aanduiden. Dan volgt een weergave van de oerknal zelf. Het volgendegedeelte, The Lonely Planet, is een meditatie over het ongelooflijke samenspel van omstandigheden dat leidde tot het ontstaan van de Aarde. Asteroids and Shooting Stars beschrijft objecten in de ruimte. Het werkeindigt met The Unknown, waarmee we in het ongewisse blijven over de gevolgen van onze verdere verkenning van het universum. In 2005 won Philip Sparke met Music of the Spheres de National Band Association/William D.Revelli Memorial Band Composition Contest.

Dieses Werk handelt vom Weltall und unserem Platz im Universum, auf dem Weltbild von Pythagoras basierend. Am einfachsten lässt sich diese außergewöhnliche Komposition wohl als Filmmusik ähnliches Stück beschreiben ? Musik zu einem Science-Fiction-Film eines Ripley Scott oder Steven Spielberg oder auch Musik, wie sie ein John Williams oder Danny Elfman schreiben würde: absolut stimmungsvoll, brillant instrumentiert mit Klangfarben, Strukturen, Effekten und Timbres, gemischt mit fließenden musikalischen Linien, die die Substanz des Themas auf den Punkt treffen. Dieses atemberaubende neue Stück hebt Ihr Blasorchester auf ein höheres Niveau, sowohl im technischen als auchmusikalischen Sinn.

La fresque Music of the Spheres (“La musique des sphères”) souligne la fascination qu’éprouve le compositeur pour les origines de l’univers. L’orchestration est proche de la musique de film. Le climat musical est ample, sonore et contrasté.

Music of the Spheres evidenza il fascino che le origini dell’universo esercitano su Philip Sparke. Il titolo proviene da una teoria del matematico greco Pitagora, secondo la quale il cosmo è retto dalle stesse leggi che governano i rapporti di frequenza tra le note della scala musicale. Questa composizione inizia con un assolo di corno chiamato t = 0, nozione che definisce il momento del big-bang. The Lonely Planet (Il pianeta solitario) è una meditazione sulle circostanze che hanno portato alla creazione della terra. Asteroids and Shooting Stars (Asteroidi e Stelle cadenti) descrive i molteplici oggetti che si muovono nello spazio e che rappresentano unrischio per il nostro pianeta. Le battute finali portano verso l’ignoto (The Unknown) sollevando una domanda la cui risposta resta in sospeso: la nostra continua avanzata nell’esplorazione dell’Universo porter un giorno alla scoperta o alla distruzione?

Take an imaginary flight on the ever-graceful winged-horse Pegasus! Using just six notes, this work manages to capture the grandeur of this mythical creature through the triumphant melodies that are passed around the ensemble. Harmonies are surprisingly rich for a work at this level and make the piece sound much harder than it really is. Fabulous!

In Greek mythology, Pegasus was the winged horse-god son of Poseidon and the Gorgon Medusa. During his life, he carried thunderbolts for the god Zeus and was ridden by Eos, the goddess of dawn. Today, the word pegasus has come to refer to any winged horse, and the symbol endures as one of endless fascination. The music is quite lively in nature, and portrays an imaginary flight of the ever-graceful equine of myth. The introduction takes us up-up-and-away in the form of a bright trumpet fanfare. The melody is then played by lower instruments, depicting peril during flight. The full ensemble then comes together, giving a picture of the winged wonder in all his glory leading to a thrilling finish.

Score only. Full set (score and parts) also available: B1365.

The Four Seasons is een muzikale weergave van de seizoenen. Het ontluikende nieuwe leven staat centraal in Springtime. Het temperamentvolle Summer Joy heeft een Zuid-Amerikaans tintje en neemt de luisteraar meenaar witte stranden en een blauwe zee. Autumn Colors heeft iets melancholisch: al mijmerend blikt de componist terug op de vakantie. Winter Fascination weerspiegelt talloze dansende sneeuwvlokken, uitgelaten sneeuwpreten een ritje met de slee.

Avec The Four Seasons, Johan Nijs nous livre un tableau bucolique de la nature au fil des saisons.
