Imagine an oasis in the desert. Far in the distance a caravan is sighted. The air is filled with excitement and anticipation, the quiet desert becoming louder and more animated as the large caravan approaches and passes. This scene is musically depicted in Larry Neeck’s Desert Caravan, which provides numerous opportunities for your band to work with melody, dynamics, and drama. Transport your audience to a faraway place, as the sounds of the camels and their herdsman slowly die away, and the caravan fades into the distance. A delightful musical journey!

Hij was een van de belangrijkstejazzcomponisten van de twintigste eeuw en hij liet dan ook een indrukwekkend oeuvre na. Sophisticated Lady, Mood Indigo maar ook Caravan behoren tot de echte Ellington-standards. Naohiro Iwai bewerkte hetlaatstgenoemde nummer tot een standard voor blaasorkest.

The great Karl King wrote many wonderful marches, and The Caravan Club is one of his most interesting and unusual works. Heavy and ponderous at times, light and frisky at others, this march was used often in the circus to accompany tiger acts. An ominous introduction leads to a lumbering first strain, followed by a delightful contrasting, almost ragtime-like second strain. The trio features a wonderful melody with euphonium countermelody, in the style made so famous by King. The weighty breakstrain returns to a minor key feel, and then concludes with an embellished version of the trio. One of the march King’s very best! Immense!

In Camel Ride you will experience the magic of a colourful Arabic caravan as it slowly passes by. With this short work for a flexible ten part instrumentation, composer Jan de Haan has brilliantly reflected the atmosphere of the parade and carefully capturing the mysticism of the East. Camel Ride will make a great interlude in your concert performances.

In Camel Ride horen we een karavaan voorbijtrekken. In rustige tred schrijdt de kleurige stoet voort. Componist Jan de Haan heeft met dit korte werk deze sfeer voortreffelijk weten te treffen.

Der im Titel dieses Werkes genannte Kamelritt ist durchaus wörtlich zu nehmen: Die Musik beschreibt eine vorüber ziehende Karawane. Ruhig, mit gleichmäßigem Schritt, hört man die Wüstenschiffe inmitten eines bunten Menschengewimmels stetig voranschreiten. Jan de Haan ist es in diesem kurzen Werk für zehn Stimmen ausgezeichnet gelungen, die Atmosphäre dieser exotischen Szenerie in diesem Stück für eine zehnstimmig variable Besetzung einzufangen.

Au rythme de la caravane de chameaux, bercés par le vent, nous effectuons une promenade musicale de petits villages en criques isolées, de dunes en plages du bout du monde, de cascades en marabouts éclatants de blancheur. Camel Ride : une touche insolite !

Una passeggiata musicale nel deserto in groppa ai cammelli: atmosfere esotiche e mozzafiato, accompagnati dal vento tra le dune fermandosi in splendide oasi. Camel Ride: un brano insolito!

L’oeuvre Western Suite dresse en musique, le portrait d’une caravane de chercheurs d’or et autres aventuriers. Le voyage commence dans une ambiance optimiste, qui se traduit par une pétillante marche. En soirée, la mélancolie s’installe autour du feu de camp, des sons lugubres s’échappent des instruments. Le lendemain est organisé un rodéo, festivité et excitation sont abordées par de riches lignes mélodiques, avant de réinterpréter le thème initial en final. Avec Western Suite, laissez entrer l’ouest américain dans votre salle de concert !

Il brano A Western Suite traduce in musica le avventure di un gruppo di cercatori d’oro e di altri avventurieri.

L’indomani, gli avventurieri organizzano un rodeo, l’eccitazione per l’evento è affidata a ricche melodie, che anticipano la riesposizione del tema iniziale.

In Pirate Kings from the East, composer Scott Watson re-imagines the legendary journey of the Three Kings, musically transporting the action from the desert to the high seas, swapping the traditional caravan of camels with a fearsome tall ship and pirate crew! Bold themes, triple-meter sea-shanty rhythms, and exciting percussion contribute to the high-spirited adventure.

In a Persian Market was composed in 1920 by English composer Albert W. Ketelby. It is a short tone poem that describes the hustle and bustle taking place at a busy, exotic Persian bazaar. Camel herders, beggars, a princess, jugglers, snake charmers and a myriad of others fill the musical scenes. The princess and her caravan eventually pass by and all is back to normal. Tohru Takahashi's arrangement perfectly conveys the sights, sounds and smells of a Persian market.
