De discogroep Boney M, opgericht door de Duitse platenproducer Frank Farian, was een groot internationaal succes in de jaren zeventig, met name in Europa. De drie exotische dames en de bijzondere verschijning Bobby Farrell, met zijnopvallende dansstijl, hadden een geheel eigen, aanstekelijke sound. Deze medley voor harmonieorkest, waarin Stefan Schwalgin de hits Sunny, Daddy Cool en Ma Baker verwerkte, is een feest der herkenning.

Die Magie von Boney M“ breitete sich in den 70er Jahren wie ein Lauffeuer über Deutschland und Europa hinweg aus. Ganz oben auf der Discowelle schwimmend, brachte die von Frank Farian produzierte Formation mit unzähligen Hits - davon acht auf Nr. 1 in Deutschland - die Tanzböden zum Beben und noch heute erkennt jeder nach ein paar Tönen die Songs. Stefan Schwalgin verarbeitete drei Nr. 1-Hits in seinem Blasorchestermedley.

Quatuor jama co-antillais formé en 1976 Munich par le producteur allemand Frank Farian, Boney M. s’est imposé comme un pilier du phénomène disco des années 70. L’excellence des mélodies et des orchestrations ont assuré le triomphe phénoménal que remporta la formation en Europe avec des titres comme Rasputin, Rivers of Babylon, El Lute ou encore Daddy Cool, Sunny, Ma Baker rassemblés dans ce medley. Le groupe se sépare en 1985. Boney M. a vendu près de 150 millions de disques.

Following a celebrated series of wind ensemble tone poems about national parks in the American West, Dan Welcher’s Upriver celebrates the Lewis & Clark Expedition from the Missouri River to Oregon’s Columbia Gorge, following the Louisiana Purchase of 1803. Welcher’s imaginative textures and inventiveness are freshly modern, evoking our American heritage, including references to Shenandoah and other folk songs known to have been sung on the expedition. For advanced players. Duration: 14’.
In 1803, President Thomas Jefferson sent Meriwether Lewis and William Clark’s Corps of Discovery to find a water route to the Pacific and explore the uncharted West. He believed woolly mammoths, erupting volcanoes, and mountains of pure salt awaited them. What they found was no less mind-boggling: some 300 species unknown to science, nearly 50 Indian tribes, and the Rockies.Ihave been a student of the Lewis and Clark expedition, which Thomas Jefferson called the “Voyage of Discovery,” for as long as I can remember. This astonishing journey, lasting more than two-and-a-half years, began and ended in St. Louis, Missouri — and took the travelers up more than a few rivers in their quest to find the Northwest Passage to the Pacific Ocean. In an age without speedy communication, this was akin to space travel out of radio range in our own time: no one knew if, indeed, the party had even survived the voyage for more than a year. Most of them were soldiers. A few were French-Canadian voyageurs — hired trappers and explorers, who were fluent in French (spoken extensively in the region, due to earlier explorers from France) and in some of the Indian languages they might encounter. One of the voyageurs, a man named Pierre Cruzatte, also happened to be a better-than-average fiddle player. In many respects, the travelers were completely on their own for supplies and survival, yet, incredibly, only one of them died during the voyage. Jefferson had outfitted them with food, weapons, medicine, and clothing — and along with other trinkets, a box of 200 jaw harps to be used in trading with the Indians. Their trip was long, perilous to the point of near catastrophe, and arduous. The dream of a Northwest Passage proved ephemeral, but the northwestern quarter of the continent had finally been explored, mapped, and described to an anxious world. When the party returned to St. Louis in 1806, and with the Louisiana Purchase now part of the United States, they were greeted as national heroes.Ihave written a sizeable number of works for wind ensemble that draw their inspiration from the monumental spaces found in the American West. Four of them (Arches, The Yellowstone Fires, Glacier, and Zion) take their names, and in large part their being, from actual national parks in Utah, Wyoming, and Montana. But Upriver, although it found its voice (and its finale) in the magnificent Columbia Gorge in Oregon, is about a much larger region. This piece, like its brother works about the national parks, doesn’t try to tell a story. Instead, it captures the flavor of a certain time, and of a grand adventure. Cast in one continuous movement and lasting close to fourteen minutes, the piece falls into several subsections, each with its own heading: The Dream (in which Jefferson’s vision of a vast expanse of western land is opened); The Promise, a chorale that re-appears several times in the course of the piece and represents the seriousness of the presidential mission; The River; The Voyageurs; The River II ; Death and Disappointment; Return to the Voyage; and The River III .The music includes several quoted melodies, one of which is familiar to everyone as the ultimate “river song,” and which becomes the through-stream of the work. All of the quoted tunes were either sung by the men on the voyage, or played by Cruzatte’s fiddle. From various journals and diaries, we know the men found enjoyment and solace in music, and almost every night encampment had at least a bit of music in it. In addition to Cruzatte, there were two other members of the party who played the fiddle, and others made do with singing, or playing upon sticks, bones, the ever-present jaw harps, and boat horns. From Lewis’ journals, I found all the tunes used in Upriver: Shenandoah (still popular after more than 200 years), V’la bon vent, Soldier’s Joy, Johnny Has Gone for a Soldier, Come Ye Sinners Poor and Needy (a hymn sung to the tune “Beech Spring”) and Fisher’s Hornpipe. The work follows an emotional journey: not necessarily step-by-step with the Voyage of Discovery heroes, but a kind of grand arch. Beginning in the mists of history and myth, traversing peaks and valleys both real and emotional (and a solemn funeral scene), finding help from native people, and recalling their zeal upon finding the one great river that will, in fact, take them to the Pacific. When the men finally roar through the Columbia Gorge in their boats (a feat that even the Indians had not attempted), the magnificent river combines its theme with the chorale of Jefferson’s Promise. The Dream is fulfilled: not quite the one Jefferson had imagined (there is no navigable water passage from the Missouri to the Pacific), but the dream of a continental destiny.

Contrasts was written for, and dedicated to, trombone soloist Dr. Brett Baker. As the titles indicates, contrasting elements characterize this challenging piece. The slow movement Sounds has a somewhat dark and sombre atmosphere, with complex harmonies and special sound effects. However, the second movement, Caprice, is energetic, entertaining, virtuosic and somewhat whimsical - quite a contrast indeed with the first!

Contrasts werd geschreven voor en opgedragen aan trombonesolist dr. Brett Baker. Zoals de titel suggereert, wordt dit uitdagende stuk gekenmerkt door contrasterende elementen. Het langzame deel, ‘Sounds’, heeft een enigszins donkere, sombere sfeer en bevat complexe harmonieën en speciale geluidseffecten. Het tweede deel, ‘Caprice’, is energiek en dynamisch, virtuoos en een tikje grillig. Inderdaad een groot contrast met het eerste deel!

Contrasts wurde für den Posaunisten Dr. Brett Baker geschrieben und ihm gewidmet. Wie der Titel schon signalisiert, kennzeichnen gegensätzliche Elemente dieses anspruchsvolle Stück. Der langsame Satz Sounds hat eine etwas dunkle und düstere Stimmung und zeichnet sich durch komplexe Harmonien und spezielle Klangeffekte aus. Der zweite, technisch anspruchsvolle Satz Caprice ist energisch, unterhaltsam, virtuos und etwas launisch. In der Tat ein ziemlicher Kontrast zum ersten Satz.

Contrasts est écrit pour et dédié au trombone solo Dr Brett Baker. Comme l’indique le titre, des éléments contrastants caractérisent cette œuvre exigeante. Le mouvement lent, Sounds, a une atmosphère plutôt sombre et contient des harmonies complexes et des effets sonores particuliers. Caprice, le deuxième mouvement aux demandes techniques exigeantes, est énergique, divertissant, virtuose et quelque peu capricieux. Un vrai contraste avec le premier mouvement.

A brilliant opening fanfare by trumpets and trom bones is followed by the primary melody utilizing the low brass and low woodwinds as melodic instruments. This melody, in different forms and voicings, alternatives with the fanfare throughout, providing harmonic, rhythmic, and orchestration variety that is refreshing, and somewhat unusual in a work which is playable by young bands of even limited instrumentation.

Concert Band/Harmonie - Grade 5

SKU: BT.DHP-0950666-010

Composed by Jan de Haan. Concert and Contest Collection CBHA. Concert Piece. Set (Score & Parts). Composed 1995. De Haske Publications #DHP 0950666-010. Published by De Haske Publications (BT.DHP-0950666-010).

Aggression, despair, but also hope for peace can be clearly heard within this work. In Banja Luka Jan de Haan reflects aspects of the former Yugoslavia, stricken by a civil war which brought terrible suffering to the people of this area. Banja Luka was written for the International Horn Festival in Leeuwarden in the Netherlands.

Gecomponeerd in 1995 ter gelegenheid van het Internationaal Hoorn Festival in Leeuwarden. Banja Luka is een stad in Bosnië-Herzegovina en kent een rijke geschiedenis, wat blijkt uit de vele bewaard gebleven bezienswaardigheden. Mededoor zijn strategische ligging heeft Banja Luka achtereenvolgens onder Romeins, Turks en Oostenrijks bewind gestaan en ontwikkelde het zich in de loop van de eeuwen tot een belangrijk handelscentrum. De stad werd in 1969 dooreen aardbeving grotendeels verwoest en is daarna weer in moderne stijl opgebouwd. De naam Banja Luka betekent bad van Lukas. Volgens het volksgeloof heeft de evangelist Lukas hier het beroep van arts uitgeoefend en geneeskrachtigebronnen ontdekt, die nog steeds in gebruik zijn.Deze compositie vertolkt de componist zijn gevoelens ten aanzien van het in de jaren negentig door een burgeroorlog geteisterde voormalig Joegoslavië. Een agressieve inleiding stelthet conflict voor, waarna de saxofoonsectie het drama verklankt. Dit gedeelte mondt uit in een gebed, weergegeven door de trompet en de trombonesolist. Nadat het conflict weer even de kop opsteekt, volgt een tamelijk lichtvoetiggedeelte, waarmee de hoop op vrede tot uitdrukking wordt gebracht. Dat deze hoop voorbarig is, blijkt uit het feit dat de heersers (uitgebeeld door de altsaxofoon en de fluit) anders beslissen. De strijdkrachten rukken vervolgensop en laten een spoor van dood en verderf achter. Het noodlot slaat bikkelhard toe: onschuldige mensen worden verkracht en vermoord en er vinden op grote schaal etnische zuiveringen plaats. De bevolking lijdt.

Aggression, Verzweiflung, aber auch Hoffnung - all das kann man in Banja Luka hören. In diesem Werk verarbeitet Jan de Haan seine Überlegungen über das ehemalige Yugoslawien, über das ein grausamer Bürgerkrieg hinwegfegte. Banja Luka wurde für das Internationale Horn Festival in Leeuwarden in den Niederlanden geschrieben.
