Jan Van der Roost composed Dances of Innocence to commemorate a girl who passed away at the tender age of 14. In contrast to the somber, joyless tone such a memory usually invokes, it is a rather cheerful work that reflects the innocence and lightheartedness of a child. It does open in a serious mood, but quickly becomes more energetic and turns into a dance. Dances of Innocence is an ode to all the beauty, sincerity and cheerfulness that a child radiates. Duration: 6:00.

When Hearts Tremble is an emotion packed piece dedicated to musician friends lost all to soon. This beautiful composition by Brant Karrick reflects on the fragility of human existence, joyous memories of loved ones and their effect on everyone around them, and maintaining hope for what the future will hold when all feels lost. This tour de force piece perfectly displays Karrick's polished compositional craft with impeccable scoring, beautiful melodic writing, and exceptional orchestrational color.While the day-to-day grind of our lives can be filled with overwhelming obligations, goals and commitments, it is sometimes very easy to forget just how precious and fragile life is . It is so easy to get caught up in our own personal feelings and worries that we sometimes don’t realize and appreciate the many blessings we have, especially friendships . On Wednesday, November 18, 2015 the Jefferson High School Band in Jefferson, Georgia lost two of its members to a fatal car accident . The victims were brothers . Music was a constant part of their lives, and the boys were talented percussionists in the marching band . To help with the grieving process the school and community commissioned this piece to celebrate the lives of William and Alex Trimble .As a father, I cannot imagine losing a child, let alone two, and beginning this piece was very difficult as I felt extreme anguish, especially for the parents . But it was decided the piece should primarily reflect the enthusiasm, youthful spirits and positive influence these two young men demonstrated as they were deeply loved by their band mates, community and family . There are four main themes, each representing the feelings and emotions that are certain to occur after a loss of loved ones . The first theme is a short, introductory fanfare, strong and bold, to stand for courage . A second dance-like melody features a liltingly mixed meter to portray a youthful and carefree innocence . This soon changes into a third more song-like, and stately theme intended to provide encouragement as we move forward through life .The middle of the piece includes a soft transition as two snare drummers give voice to the boys, allowing them to thank their friends and assuring them that it will be okay . This moves directly into a slow melody introduced by the saxophones (Alex, the younger brother was also a saxophonist) and is a time for reflection and allows for feelings of sadness at losing beloved friends . However, a second statement of the same theme, now at full volume with a strong percussion cadence, intends to lift the spirits and allows all friends to unite in joyous celebration of life . Both the enthusiastic dance theme and stately lyrical theme return, now in different keys, and work their way toward the highly energetic burst of glorious sound in the short and wild coda . When Hearts Tremble was written to celebrate the joys of youth and life, and should remind us that our friends and loved ones are precious, and we should live each day to bring more joy into the world and into the lives of others .

The melody of this Christmas carol comes originally from a Finnish songbook of 1582, containing a collection of 74 medieval songs together with Latin texts. The version arranged by Gustav Holst became very popular in the British Isles - with a text that links it to December 28, the Day of the Holy Innocents. Philip Sparke based his adaptation on Holst’s powerful arrangement and has added various musical material himself. De melodie van dit kerstlied is afkomstig uit een Fins liedboek uit 1582 waarin 74 liederen met Latijnse tekst gebundeld waren. Gustav Holst maakte er een eerste arrangment van, wat ervoor zorgde dat dit lied erg bekend werd in de Britse Eilanden.

Guernica, a peaceful town in the Basque region of Spain, was reduced to ruins on the 26th of April 1937 by Nazi bombers. It was a totally unexpected attack that happened while the crowded open-air market was in progress. Over 1600 innocent citizens were killed.This was one of the most senseless and abhorrent war crimes in history. In this new work by Jan Hadermann the music of the Basque region can clearly be heard, with street musicians adding lustre to the open-air market with dance music. Spring is in the air when suddenly from behind the mountaintops, the death squad appears and all hell breaks loose. The work ends with an intense plea to never let anything like this happenagain. A moving and contemplative new work for concert band. Guernica, een vredig stadje in het Spaanse Baskenland, werd op 26 april 1937 door nazi bommenwerpers volledig in puin gelegd.

Dit is een van de meest zinloze en weerzinwekkende oorlogsmisdaden uit de geschiedenis. In het stuk Guernica van Jan Haderman horen we hoe de Baskische muziek klinkt: straatmuzikantenluisteren de openluchtmarkt op met dansmuziek. Het is lente. Dan duikt plotseling vanachter de bergtoppen het doodseskader op en barst de hel los. Het werk eindigt met een intense smeekbede zoiets nooit meer te laten gebeuren.

Ein eindrucksvolles Werk mit einer nach wie vor aktuellen Botschaft.Le 26 avril 1937, la paisible ville de Guernica dans le Pays basque espagnol est aneantie par les bombardiers de l'aviation nazie.

Program Notes: Stylistically diverse -- tranquil, spirited pastoral, sensitive, energetic -- exhibiting a remarkable palette, the five movements of SINFONIA IX form a unique symphonic statement. Movement I, Prelude, is about contrasts: A lazy, smooth, motive in brasses alternates with, and then joins, an active and detached motive in woodwinds. The spirited Movement II, Morley's Ghost, is an intricate canonic collage and homage to that venerable theoretician & composer, Thomas Morley. By contrast, movement III, Dialog, speaks in a relaxed, lyrical, and pastoral language as it develops its gently rising and falling motives. Movement IV, Waltz, innocently celebrates the joys of childhood with a lilting melody and rondo form. For the rousing Finale, Movement V begins with a martial call of repeated-notes, heralding a headstrong journey of power and excitement. Like a number of the composer's other works, SINFONIA IX is based on earlier material: A brass sextet, written in 1966 when the composer was nineteen years old, forms the raw material for the first, third and fifth movements, while a later work, Martin's Waltz (a children's piece for flutes and clarinets composed in 1975) is the basis of the fourth movement. The second movement, however, is a fanciful contrapuntal commentary on Thomas Morley's 16th-century canzonet, Fire and Lightning. SINFONIA IX is dedicated to John Raforth, a distinguished band director and music educator at West High School in Madison, Wisconsin. The work was commissioned by his friends and former students, and was completed in 1977. Its first publication some twenty years later is a result of the increasing attention paid by university band directors to the earlier Sinfonias, particularly Sinfonia III (Hymns and Dances); Sinfonia V (Sinfonia Sacra et Profana); and now, Sinfonia IX. Whereas the first two works are wind ensemble compositions that have been championed equally by the concert band, Sinfonia IX is the composer's first college-level Sinfonia written especially for concert band.

Here's a memorable and humorous contrast for your winter concert. A gregarious student or staff member in the guise of âBeethoven returnedâ suddenly appears on your concert stage in this comedy skit for band. The music begins as an innocent Christmas medley, but by the time it's over, âBeethovenâ owns your band, and you, the director, are vanquished from the stage. Of course there are lots of laughs along the way.

Drawing on the contrast of darkness against light, this innovative work is menacing at times, seemingly innocent at others, and nearly out of control at its most volatile moments. A static rhythmic pulse forms the backdrop for the entire piece as shadows seem to move throughout darkness in a playful yet deceitful way. An invigorating and unique work!

The Dakota (or Sioux) Indians from the American states of North and South Dakota form the central figures in this composition. The work consists of five movements in which the culture and history of these Indians have been portrayed through musical paintings by making use of an old South Dakota Indian melody. Die Dakota- (oder Sioux-) Indianer der amerikanischen Staaten Nord- und Süd-Dakota sind die zentralen Figuren in dieser Komposition. Das Werk besteht aus fünf Sätzen, in welchen die Kultur und die Geschichte dieser Indianer dargestellt werden. In einigen Sätzen verwendete Jacob de Haan eine alte indianische Melodie aus Süd-Dakota.1. The Great Spirit (‘Der Große Geist’)Die Kultur der Dakota-Indianer war der irdischen und der spirituellen Welt verbunden. Sie glaubten, dass der Große Geist die Erde schuf, indem er einen schwarzen Ball auf das Wasser warf und dann aus einem zweiten Ball alles Lebendige schuf.2. Buffalo Hunting (‘Büffeljagd’)Auf einen mächtigenBüffel zuzureiten erforderte Können und Mut. Die Männer ergriffen jedoch mit Freude die Chance, sich selbst auf der Jagd zu beweisen.3. Smoking the Pipe (‘Die Pfeife rauchen’)Die Pfeife galt als Friedenssymbol und wurde unter Männern und Stämmen benutzt. Die Pfeife rauchen besiegelte einen Bund des Vertrauens und heilige, Pfeife rauchende Männer nahmen so Kontakt mit dem Großen Geist auf.4. The Ghost Dance (‘Der Geistertanz’)Dieser religiöse Tanz der verlorenen Hoffnung basierte auf Gebet, Tanz und Gesang. Im Jahre 1890 engagierten die Soldaten Geistertänzer an einem Ort namens Wounded Knee.5. Pilgrims at Wounded Knee (‘Pilger am Wounded Knee‘)Die Tragödie von Wounded Knee ist sehr schmerzhaft für die Indianer. Viele pilgern noch immer zu der heiligen, vom Wind verwehten Hügelspitze, auf der so viele Unschuldige den Tod fanden. Les Indiens Dakota (Sioux) des États américains du Dakota du Nord et du Dakota du Sud sont au centre de cette fresque musicale, dans laquelle Jacob de Haan dépeint certains aspects de leur culture et de leur histoire. Dans plusieurs mouvements de cette œuvre, le compositeur a intégré une mélodie indienne ancienne provenant du Dakota du Sud.1. Le Grand Esprit : la culture des Indiens Dakota était liée la terre et au monde des esprits. Dans leurs croyances, le Grand Esprit avait créé la terre en jetant une balle noire dans l’eau, puis il prit une deuxième balle et créa les êtres vivants. 2. La chasse au bison : courir bride abattue vers un bisonvigoureux nécessitait beaucoup d’adresse et de courage. Pourtant, les hommes attendaient impatiemment l’occasion de pouvoir faire leurs preuves la chasse.3. Fumer le calumet: le calumet était le symbole de la paix. On l’utilisait pour sceller une entente entre les hommes et les nations. Fumer le calumet était un gage de bonne volonté. Et lorsqu’un homme-médecine fumait le calumet, il communiait avec le Grand Esprit. 4. The Ghost Dance (“La Danse des Espritsâ€) Pour faire renaître l’espoir, les Indiens exécutaient une danse religieuse accompagnée d’incantations et des chants rituels. En 1890 Wounded Knee, l’armée fédérale a ouvert le feu sur tous ceux qui célébraient la Ghost Dance. 5. Les pèlerins de Wounded Knee : la tragédie de Wounded Knee est un moment douloureux dans l’histoire des nations indiennes. Ils sont encore nombreux faire un pèlerinage sur cette colline sacrée, balayée par le vent, où tant d’innocents ont été massacrés. Ispirandosi a certi aspetti della cultura e della storia degli indiani Sioux; Jacob de Haan ha realizzato uno splendido affresco musicale in omaggio al primo popolo delle sconfinate praterie degli Stati Americani del Dakota del Nord e del Dakota del Sud. Per conservare l’autenticit di questo popolo indiano anche attraverso la sua musica, il compositore ha integrato un’antica melodia indiana del Dakota del Sud nella sua composizione.
