Score-A Joyful Fugue by Virgil Thomson. Version for Concert Band by Charles Fussell.

for Solo Bb Euphonium (or Baritone ad lib.) and Concert Band. Par DOSS THOMAS. Cette ?uvre a été écrite dans le cadre du projet Obertöne du Bezirksblasmusikverband Linz-Land (Autriche). Elle est dédiée à Anton Forstner en remerciement des années qu?il a consacrées à soutenir la musique pour instruments à vent dans le district de Linz-Land. Le Shamadan est une ancienne danse folklorique orientale pleine de symbolisme durant laquelle une danseuse ? souvent à l?occasion d?un mariage ? porte en équilibre sur la tête un candélabre représentant la lumière spirituelle. Dans cette ?uvre, l?euphonium tient le rôle de la danseuse. Dès le début, le/la soliste a l?occasion de briller dans un récitatif non accompagné. Ensuite, soliste et orchestre jouent en alternance, mais tout au long de la pièce ce dernier tient aussi un rôle important avec diverses prouesses techniques. D?autres points d?intérêt sont introduits avec un passage solo accompagné de percussions et frappements de mains, le tout culminant brillamment dans un grand tutti vers la fin de la pièce. Une musique exigeante offrant de multiples plaisirs ! / Date parution : 2022-11-08/ Répertoire / Concert Band/Harmonie

Anton Bruckner (1824-1896). Par BRUCKNER ANTON / DOSS THOMAS (Arr.). Anton Bruckner (b. 4.9.1824, Ansfelden, d. 11.10.1896, Vienna) didn?t have it easy. Throughout his life, the Austrian composer was plagued by self-doubt. Anton Bruckner came from a simple, rural background. After the death of his father, he was accepted as a choirboy at the monastery of Sankt Florian in 1837. After several years as a school assistant and his own organ and piano studies, he first worked as organist in St. Florian, then from 1855 as cathedral organist in Linz. Introduced to music theory and instrumentation by Simon Sechter and Otto Kitzler, he discovered Richard Wagner as an artistic role model, whom he admired throughout his life and also visited several times in Bayreuth. In 1868 Anton Bruckner became professor of basso continuo, counterpoint and organ at the Vienna Conservatory; ten years later court organist; and in 1891 finally honorary doctor of the University of Vienna. He was considered an important organ virtuoso of his era, but had to wait a long time for recognition as a composer. It was not until Symphony No.7 in E major, composed between 1881 and 1883, with the famous Adagio written under the effects of Wagner's death, that he achieved the recognition he had hoped for, even if he was reluctant to accept it given his inclination towards scepticism and self-criticism. Anton Bruckner was a loner who did not want to follow a particular school or doctrine. He composed numerous sacred vocal works, such as his three masses, the Missa Solemnis in B flat minor (1854), the Te Deum (1881-84) and numerous motets. As a symphonic composer, he wrote a total of nine symphonies and many symphonic studies from 1863 onwards, tending to revise completed versions several times over. Bruckner's orchestral works were long considered unplayable, but in fact were merely exceptionally bold for the tonal language of their time, uniting traditions from Beethoven through Wagner to folk music, on the threshold between late Romanticism and Modernism. Anton Bruckner composed about 40 motets during his lifetime, the earliest a setting of Pange lingua around 1835, and the last, Vexilla regis, in 1892. Thomas Doss has compiled some of these motets in this volume for symphonic wind orchestra. These motets show many characteristics of personal expression, especially Bruckner's colourful harmony in the earlier works, which is in places aligned with Franz Schubert (changes between major and minor; and movements in thirds). Later works are characterised by many components which, in addition to the expanded stature of the movements, include above all a sense of the instrumentation as an outward phenomenon and the harmony as a compositional feature that works more internally. Some aspects of Bruckner's work are the result of his long period of study, which familiarised him not only with the tradition of his craft, but also gave him insights into the 'modernity' of his time in such composers as Wagner, Liszt and Berlioz. From this developed his personal standpoint, which always pursues the connection between the old and the new. / Date parution : 2023-08-12/ Répertoire / Concert Band/Harmonie

Graduale. Par BRUCKNER ANTON / DOSS THOMAS (Arr.). Thomas Doss a arrangé pour orchestre d?harmonie cette transcription exaltante et très abordable de Christus factus est (WAB 11), le motet écrit par Bruckner en 1884. Après la Messe für den Gründonnerstag (1844) et un motet pour ch?ur mixte à huit voix, trois trombones et instruments à cordes ad libitum (1873), cette ?uvre est la troisième mise en musique du graduel (chant grégorien) du même nom. L?influence de Wagner se manifeste clairement. / Date parution : 2023-08-12/ Répertoire / Concert Band/Harmonie

The Three Peaks - Die 3 Zinnen. Par DOSS THOMAS. The Three Peaks (Italian: Tre Cime di Lavaredo) are a prominent massif in the Dolomites on the border between the Italian provinces of Belluno in the south and South Tyrol in the north. The imposing rock formations formed over 200 million years ago and represent one of the most recognizable landmarks of the Dolomites and South Tyrol (I). Due to their exceptional beauty, the Dolomites with the Three Peaks are dignified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2009. The ?call? of the Three Peaks attracts numerous visitors every year, who will experience an unforgettable and impressive spectacle of changing colors from cool gray to glowing red. The Three Peaks tower over the eventful contemporary history of Tyrol and South Tyrol like stone guardians. / Date parution : 2022-11-29/ Répertoire / Concert Band/Harmonie

These small pieces were able to stand up to the harsh scrutiny of the mature master: in 1888, Bruckner subjected them to a revision in which he made only minor corrections. / Date parution : 2023-08-12/ Répertoire / Concert Band/Harmonie

Par DOSS THOMAS. Dans cette œuvre, comme dans le monde réel, nous rencontrons souvent des individus violents, des gens carrément dangereux. Si nous ne faisons pas attention, nous pourrions courir des risques. Comme un gangster pourrait se cacher à chaque coin de rue, restons sur nos gardes! / Date parution : 2022-01-14/ Répertoire / Concert Band/Harmonie
