Maurice Ravel's 'Piano Concerto in G major' was composed between 1929 and 1931. The concerto was deeply infused with jazz idioms and harmonies, which, at the time, were highly popular in Paris as well as the United States, where Ravel was traveling on a piano tour. Ravel remarked that The most captivating part of jazz is its rich and diverting rhythm. ... Jazz is a very rich and vital source of inspiration for modern composers and I am astonished that so few Americans are influenced by it. Swiss arranger Simon Scheiwiller transcribed the concerto for piano with accompaniment of a Symphonic Band with great respect to the original instrumentation.

The sisters Ruth, Anita and June Pointer from West Oakland in California learned how to sing in the sixties in church where their father was a minister. At the beginning of the 1970s they entered the music business, where they proved to have a mastery of many styles - including rhythm & blues, jazz, and country. However, the Pointer Sisters acquired international fame at the beginning of the eighties with their soul-like pop music. A great hit was the up-tempo number I’m So Excited, which is still a success on every dance floor. This sparkling arrangement by Peter Kleine Schaars certainly provides the excitement that is suggested in the title.Die Pastorentöchter Ruth, Anita und June Pointer aus Kalifornien lernten in den 60er-Jahren in der Kirche ihres Vaters das Singen.

I n 1803, President Thomas Jefferson sent Meriwether Lewis and William Clarks 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. I have 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. I have 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, doesnt 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 Jeffersons 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 Cruzattes 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), Vla bon vent, Soldiers Joy, Johnny Has Gone for a Soldier, Come Ye Sinners Poor and Needy (a hymn sung to the tune Beech Spring) and Fishers 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 Jeffersons 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.

Gaudi is het eerste deel van een tweedelige symfonie die Ferrer Ferran opdroeg aan de beroemde Spaanse architect Antoni Gaudi. In verschillende stappen beschrijft Ferran het leven van de geniale architect die bekend stond om zijn ronde, organische vormen: van het bescheiden begin tot aan de Sagrada Familia, zijn levenswerk.

Gaudi stond bekend om stond zijn ronde, organische vormen. De muzikale lijnen van dit werk zijn vloeiend en organisch en de structuur is groots, kleurrijk en fascinerend. Net zoals debouwwerken van de Catalaanse meester zelf...!Gaudi ist der erste Teil einer zweiteiligen Symphonie, die Ferrer Ferran dem berühmten spanischen Architekten Antoni Gaudi widmete. In mehreren Etappen zeichnet Ferran darin das Leben des genialen Architekten und Meisters der runden, organischen Formen nach: von den bescheidenen Anfangen bis zur Sagrada Familia, die zu einer Lebensaufgabe wurde. Wie Gaudis Architektur sind die musikalischen Linien flüssig und organisch und die Struktur gross angelegt, farbenreich und faszinierend.Fils d'un modeste chaudronnier, Antoni Gaudi i Cornet nait a Reus dans la province de Tarragone, le 25 juin 1852. Souffrant de rhumatismes articulaires particulierement invalidants, Gaudi fut contraint a de longues periodes de repos des son plus jeune age. Il passait des heures a observer la nature. Gaudi a octroye un nouveau langage artistique a l'architecture. Son style unique se caracterise par des lignes souples et des formes organiques inspirees de la nature. Il experimentait de nouveaux materiaux et de nouvelles formes. Selon sa maniere habituelle de travailler, Gaudi realisait quelques esquisses du batiment a construire et improvisa la construction au fur et a mesure queles travaux avancaient. Selon l'un de ses biographes : << [Gaudi] vit clairement que [les] formes geometriques simples ne se trouvent pratiquement jamais dans la nature, qui, d'autre part, construit d'excellentes structures, accreditees par de larges siecles d'efficacite. La structure d'un arbre est d'une perfection rare, bien plus complexe et plus aboutie que les structures creees par les architectes. >> Le simple changement geometrique opere par Gaudi devint une revolution stylistique indolore, car la conception de la geometrie architecturale du maitre catalan reposait sur des concepts bien plus anciens que les normes geometriques inventees par les autres architectes. Antoni Gaudi a consacre toute sa vie a son art, au point de s'isoler des autres pendant les dernieres annees de sa vie. Le 7 juin 1926, il est renverse par un tramway au croisement de la Gran Via et de la rue Bailen, a Barcelone. Vetu de vetements elimes et uses, personne ne reconnut en lui le celebre architecte, gisant sur le sol. Il mourut trois jours plus tard, et fut inhume dans la crypte de la Sagrada Familia. Gaudi e la prima parte della sinfonia in due parti che Ferrer Ferran ha dedicato al famoso architetto spagnolo Antoni Gaudi. Ferran ripercorre a tappe la vita del geniale architetto: dai suoi modesti debutti fino alla costruzione della Sagrada Familia, progetto di tutta una vita. Le linee musicali sono fluide e curve come l'architettura di Gaudi, la trama luminosa colorita e aff ascinante come gli edifici da lui realizzati.

Step right up, ladies and gentleman, boys and girls, step right up! See the exotic, the strange, and the magical at the Cirque de L’étrange, or “Circus of the Strange.†This piece evokes a bygone era when circuses and carnivals provided people from all walks of life a chance to see human and animal oddities. Cirque de L'étrange is an original concert march written in standard march form, but its sound is anything but standard. This piece is playable by younger groups and is a great way to expose students to the march form and style without sounding like your typical march.Step right up ladies and gentleman, boys and girls, step right up! See the exotic, the strange, and the magical at the Cirque de L’étrange. Welcome to the Cirque de L’étrange, known in English as the “Circus of the Strange.†This piece evokes a time of a bygone era, a time when circuses and carnivals provided people from all walks of life a chance to see human and animal oddities that were sources of both delight and horror. While many of these sideshow attractions were deemed fraudulent, it did not deter the crowds from flocking to be shocked and awed. I have always held a special place in my heart for the showmanship of carnivals, because my grandfather dearly loved them. For much of his life, he worked at fairs and carnivals selling cotton candy and candy apples. A large portion of my days when growing up were spent running around fairgrounds and helping my grandfather with his stand. He imparted in me a love for the cunning, magic, and sheer joy that only carnivals and circuses can bring. In Cirque de L’étrange, I sought to capture the the mirthful, yet uncanny mood of the carnivals that I grew up exploring, thus transporting you to a different time.Cirque de L'étrange is an original concert march written in standard march form, but its sound is anything but standard. This piece is playable by younger groups, as it is a great way to expose students to the march form and style while not sounding like your typical march.Opening in D minor, the piece combines the playful feel of a march and a macabre tango. The second time through the First Strain (mm. 5-23), the upper woodwinds and bells add a second counter melody based in D harmonic minor, which heightens the peculiar nature of the piece. The Second Strain (mm. 24-43) by contrast, is a little more upbeat, thus evoking the magical ebullience of a circus, which is further highlighted by the xylophone part. The Second Strain ends in the key of F major and sets up the transition to the Trio in the key of G minor. The Trio (m. 44) begins with the G harmonic minor melody in the clarinets and a counter melody in the bassoon and tenor saxophone. The rest of the woodwinds and bells join in at m. 60 while the percussion adds a Gypsy-like feel with tambourine and triangle. At m. 76 the full band joins in the macabre parade with the trombones and baritones harmonizing the counter melody. The conclusion of the march has the upper woodwinds, adding a second counter melody complete with trills to bring the march to an exciting and dramatic finish.As the World’s Greatest Showman, P.T. Barnum, a man my grandfather greatly admired, once said “The noblest art is that of making others happy.†It is my hope that through this piece you will experience the thrill, delight, and fright that only carnivals can bring as you visit the Circus of the Strange!

Composer Modest Moussorgsky (1839-1881) came from the prosperous environment of Russian nobility. In 1865, after his officer’s education, he joined the guard’s regiment in St. Petersburg. Here he met a number of well-known colleague-composers, including Balakirev, Cui, Rimsky- Korsakov and Borodin. They strived to develop a “classical style†of composing while at the same time retaining a strong Russian influence. His opera Boris Godunov tells the tale of Boris, who with the support of the people, declared himself Tsar, but totally fell short of the role. The opera became popular in the re-orchestrated version produced by Rimsky-Korsakov in 1896. Tohru Takahashi has usedthe beautiful musical themes of this opera in Selections from Boris Godunov - a captivating work for concert band. Moussorgsky’s opera Boris Godunov - gebaseerd op het gelijknamige drama van Aleksandr Pushkin (waarin Boris Godunov zichzelf met steun van het volk uitroept tot tsaar, maar in deze rol compleet tekortschiet) - werd populairin de bewerking die Rimsky-Korsakov in 1896 maakte. De oorspronkelijke partituur van Moussorgsky staat echter vol originele vondsten en vooruitstrevende harmonische, melodische en instrumentale details. Tohru Takahashi gebruiktede prachtige muzikale thematiek van deze opera in Selections from Boris Godunov - een boeiend werk voor harmonieorkest.Sein Meisterwerk, die Oper Boris Godunow, schrieb Mussorgski auf der Grundlage des gleichnamigen Dramas von Alexander Puschkin. In diesem Stück erklärt sich Boris Godunow mit Unterstützung des Volkes selbst zum Zaren, versagt aber kläglich in dieser Rolle. Das Werk ist voll von einzigartigen Ideen und damals sehr innovativen harmonischen, melodischen und instrumentalen Details. Tohru Takahashi verwendete in Selections from Boris Godunov die wunderschönen musikalischen Themen der Oper - ein bezauberndes Werk für Blasorchester.Compositeur essentiellement autodidacte, Modest Moussorgski (1839-1881) descend d’une famille aisée de la noblesse russe. Son chef-d’oeuvre lyrique Boris Godounov est basé sur la tragédie d’Alexandre Pouchkine, dans laquelle Boris Godounov, tsar autoproclamé et soutenu par le peuple faillit son rôle. En 1896, l’opéra connaît le succès dans une version retouchée par Rimski-Korsakov. La version originale de Moussorgski contient cependant des idées uniques, des détails harmoniques, mélodiques et instrumentaux innovateurs. Pour réaliser cette pièce captivante pour Orchestre d’Harmonie, Tohru Takahashi a rassemblé les superbes thèmes musicaux de l’opéra.Compositore essenzialmente autodidatta, Modest Mussorgski (1839-1881) discende da una famiglia agiata della nobilt russa. Il suo capolavoro lirico, Boris Godunov, si basa sulla tragedia di Alexander Puschkin, nella quale Boris Godunov, proclamatosi zar e sostenuto dal popolo, fallisce nel suo ruolo.
