This short but solemn overture was written on the occasion of the 110th jubilee of Harmonie Hautcharage, Luxembourg. It is an homage to Jean-Paul Frisch and his son Gérard (the present conductor), who each have been conducting theensemble for many years. Under their leadership, the band has developed and improved remarkably. The very first musical theme, presented during the introduction of this little overture, is based on the letters hidden in the namesJean-Paul and Gérard Frisch (in which h is considered b as it is in German), thus aiming the spotlight on both key figures in the history of Harmonie Hautcharage. After the rather stately intro, the allegro is more joyful andlighthearted, thus depicting the optimism of the many young players of the band. The end is exciting and energetic: it radiates positivity and belief in the future.Deze korte maar plechtige ouverture is geschreven ter gelegenheid van het 110-jarig bestaan van Harmonie Hautcharage uit Luxemburg. Het stuk is een eerbetoon aan Jean-Paul Frisch en diens zoon Gérard (de huidige dirigent), die hetensemble ieder vele jaren lang hebben gedirigeerd. Onder hun leiding heeft het orkest zich enorm ontwikkeld en verbeterd. Het eerste muzikale thema, ge ntroduceerd in de inleiding van deze kleine ouverture, is gebaseerd op deletters die verborgen zitten in de namen Jean-Paul en Gérard Frisch (waarbij de h als b wordt beschouwd zoals in Duitsland het geval is). Hiermee worden beide sleutelfiguren uit de geschiedenis van Harmonie Hautcharage in deschijnwerpers gezet. Na de vrij statige opening klinkt het allegro vreugdevoller en luchtiger, waarmee het optimisme van de vele jonge spelers uit het orkest wordt weerspiegeld. Het meeslepende en energieke slot ademt positiviteiten geloof in de toekomst.Diese kurze, aber feierliche Ouvertüre wurde anlässlich des 110-jährigen Jubiläums der Harmonie Hautcharage aus Luxemburg geschrieben.

Unter ihrer Leitung hat sich das Blasorchester auf bemerkenswerte Art und Weise weiterentwickelt und verbessert. Das allererste musikalische Thema, das in der Einleitung dieser kleinenOuvertüre vorgestellt wird, basiert auf den Buchstaben, die in den Namen Jean-Paul und Gérard Frisch enthalten sind. Damit rückt es die beiden Schlüsselfiguren in der Geschichte der Harmonie Hautcharage in den Vordergrund. Auf diemajestätische Einleitung folgt ein fröhliches und unbeschwertes Allegro, das den Optimismus der vielen jungen Mitspieler des Blasorchesters widerspiegelt. Der Schluss ist spannend, energiegeladen und strahlt eine positiveEinstellung Courte mais solennelle, cette ouverture a été écrite l’occasion du 110e anniversaire de l’harmonie luxembourgeoise Hautcharage. Il s’agit d’un hommage Jean-Paul Frische et son fils, Gérard (le chef actuel de l’harmonie), quidirigent tous deux l’ensemble depuis de nombreuses années. Sous leur direction, l’orchestre s’est remarquablement développé et amélioré. Le tout premier thème, exposé dès l’introduction de cette petite ouverture, est fondé surcertaines lettres des noms Jean-Paul en Gérard Frisch (où le « h » représente un « Si », comme dans la notation allemande), mettant ainsi en avant les deux personnages clés de l’histoire de l’harmonie Hautcharage. Après uneintroduction quelque peu majestueuse, l’allegro est plus léger et enjoué, reflétant ainsi l’optimisme des nombreux jeunes musiciens de l’orchestre. La conclusion est énergique et exubérante, rayonnant de positivité et de confianceen l’avenir.

When Jeff Wayne’s musical adaptation H.G.Wells’ novel The War of the Worlds was originally released, no one would have believed that it would become so popular. The Eve of the War, the stunning opening scene of Wayne’s show, became a huge international hit single in its own right. This new arrangement by the highly respected British composer/arranger Ed Keeley retains all the drama and tension of the original atmospheric opening. A joy to perform and a pleasure to listen to.Toen Jeff Wayne’s muzikale bewerking van The War of the Worlds - H.G. Wells’ roman uit 1898 - eind jaren zeventig werd uitgebracht, had niemand kunnen denken dat deze zo populair zou worden. Met Richard Burton, David Essexen Phil Lynott (beiden van Thin Lizzy), Julie Covington, Chris Thompson en Justin Hayward bestormde het dubbelalbum meteen de Britse hitlijsten, waar het jarenlang bleef staan. The Eve of the War, de verbluffende openingsscène,werd als single een enorme internationale hit. Een feest der herkenning voor uw publiek.Krieg der Welten ist wohl jedem ein Begriff, sei es in Form von H.G.Wells’ Roman aus dem Jahr 1898, Orson Welles‘ Radioadaption, Jeff Waynes innovativem Rockmusical oder jüngst von Steven Spielbergs Kinofilm aus dem Jahr 2005. The Eve of the War, die atemberaubende Eröffnungsmelodie von Waynes Musikversion wurde ein großer internationaler Hit. Das Album ist die bekannteste Musikaufnahme aller Zeiten und wurde mehrfach ausgezeichnet. Grund genug für Edwin H. Keely, diese Bearbeitung für Blasorchester zu schreiben, die dem Original absolut gerecht wird.Chacun a déj plus ou moins entendu parler de La Guerre des mondes (The War of the Worlds). Lorsque Jeff Wayne livre sa version musicale du roman d’Herbert Georges Wells, il n’imaginait pas le succès venir. Dans l’atmosphère éthérée du tapis acoustique de The Eve of the War, une voix sombre et intense vient appuyer la célèbre phrase « Personne n'aurait cru, dans les dernières années du XIXe siècle, que les choses humaines fussent observées (…) ». Le succès de cette interprétation épique de la première invasion de la Terre perdure encore de nos jours.The War of the Worlds (La guerra dei mondi) è universalmente noto come romanzo di H.G. Wells del 1898, nell’adattamento radiofonico di Orson Welles, come musical rock firmato Jeff Waynes, e anche per il film di Steven Spielberg del 2005. L’album è uno dei più grandi successi mondiali, premiato numerose volte. Queste ragioni hanno spinto Edwin H. Keeley a comporre questo arrangiamento per banda molto fedele all’originale.

Castle Creek was written by Dan Welcher in celebration of the Aspen Music Festival's 40th anniversary, and served as a special tribute to the Festival's longtime President, Gordon Hardy. Castle Creek itself is a tributary of the Roaring Fork River on which the Aspen Music Festival campus (as well as Hardy's home) is built. Gordon's initials (G.A.H.) are used as the musical basis for the fanfare, which is centered on the ascending pitches G, A and B, and reflects the upward motion and positivity of the Aspen Music Festival itself. For advanced players. Duration: 5'.Program Note by the ComposerThere is no “secret program” or hidden meaning in this lively, five-minute work: it was intended as a celebration of the 40th anniversary of the Aspen Music Festival, and as a special tribute to the Festival’s longtime President, Gordon Hardy. The title CASTLE CREEK refers to a tributary of the Roaring Fork River on which the Aspen Music Festival campus (as well as Mr. Hardy’s home) is built.The work pays homage to Gordon Hardy by utilizing his initials (“G.A.H.”) as a musical motive: the three letters correspond to the pitches G, A, and B). This three-note group forms the basis of the fanfare that opens the work, and it also serves as an ostinato, a bass line, and a general means of organizing the work’s tonal centers. Because the three notes are in ascending order, the ever-upward direction of the Aspen Music Festival and the positive energy of Gordon Hardy are readily evident.The athletic fanfare that begins the work (marked “noble, but energetic”) is scored for brass and percussion alone, and may be played as a separate piece. The rest of the ensemble joins at the conclusion of the fanfare, and a spirited tune in 9/8 issues from the woodwinds. After this is given a thorough workout, a middle section in faster 3/4 time provides machine-like energy. Perhaps it is the energy of the Festival, in high gear. At the height of this, the music of the fanfare returns in broad open notes in the brass, with the machine still pulsing in support. The overture ends in a burst of motion, with the three-note motive in its highest transposition.My colleague and former student Paul Bissell made this excellent transcription from the orchestral original.
