Ascension of the Emperor is a terrific opener for your beginning band’s very first concert! Only the first six notes learned in band instruction are used, and because there are no rhythms faster than quarter notes for the winds (and eighth notes for percussion,) this piece bolsters confidence right away, yet challenges them to keep learning. The crowd is sure to sit up and take notice of how much they’ve grown in just a few short months!

With Emperor, French composer Thierry Deleruyelle wanted to create a descriptive musical work depicting the life of Napoleon Bonaparte. The first movement represents the idiosyncrasies of this famous personality as well as his dramatic mood swings. The second movement is dedicated to his great love, Josephine Beauharnais. A contrasting third movement depicts Napoleon the fearless general and the countless battles he waged. A truly powerful work about one of histories truly powerful men.

Mit Emperor schuf der französische Komponist Thierry Deleruyelle ein deskriptives Werk nach dem Leben von Napoleon Bonaparte. Der erste Satz hebt die Charakterzüge des Kaisers von Frankreich hervor, wozu Heldenmut und Brillanz ebenso wie Schwermut gehören. Der zweite Satz ist seiner großen Liebe Josephine Beauharnais gewidmet und im Kontrast dazu der dritte Satz dem Feldherrn Napoleon und seinen zahlreichen Schlachten. Ein schillerndes Werk über eine große historische Figur!

Avec Emperor (L’Empereur), le compositeur français Thierry Deleruyelle signe une fresque musicale en trois tableaux, consacrée Napoléon Ier (1769-1821) qui fut Empereur des Français de 1804 1815. Le premier tableau, « l’Aigle », illustre deux facettes du caractère de l’Empereur : héro que et éblouissant lorsqu’il mène ses troupes la victoire, sombre et mélancolique dans la tourmente de l’histoire. Le deuxième mouvement est consacré Joséphine de Beauharnais, la grande et unique passion de Bonaparte, sa première épouse, son incomparable impératrice. La courbe mélodique est noble et élégante, l’orchestration riche en couleurs sonores. Le troisième et derniertableau - D’Austerlitz Waterloo - est un récit de batailles, de la grande victoire la chute définitive. Le climat musical est dominé par un esprit de conquête. Les rythmes soutenus de la caisse-claire symbolisent la chevauchée infernale de la cavalerie impériale. Nous suivons l’itinéraire militaire de l’un des hommes les plus célèbres et les plus controversés de l’histoire de France.

Con Emperor, Thierry Deleruyelle firma un affresco musicale dedicato a Napoleone. Seguiamo il destino militare e personale di Bonaparte. Il primo affresco, “l’Aigle”, illustra due aspetti del carattere dell’Imperatore: eroico quando conduce le sue truppe alla vittoria, malinconico nella tormenta della storia. Il secondo movimento è dedicato a Josephine di Beauharnais, la grande e unica passione di Napoleone. Il movimento finale - Da Austerlitz a Waterloo - è un racconto delle battaglie, delle grandi vittorie e della caduta definitiva.

After traveling to Beijing, China in the summer of 2008, the composer was inspired to create a concert work that depicts the ancient battles of Qin Shi Huang, the first emperor of China in 221 BC, and his warriors. This Emperor's reign included unification, the building of the Great Wall and his endless search for immortality. Qin Shi Huang had over 8000 Terracotta Warriors buried in front of his tomb in order to have a strong underground army to defend him in the afterlife.

When the Roman emperor Hadrian first envisioned a huge wall across England in A.D. 122, he used stone, wood, and iron to shield Roman Britannia from the unconquered Celtic tribes. Hadrian's Wall by Robert W. Smith is based on the legend and lore of the great wall. Suitable for concert and festival performance, Hadrian's Wall is written well within the technical abilities of bands at the medium easy level. This powerful work will capture the imagination of the band while providing exceptional teaching opportunities. An excellent work that yields maximum musical results.
