Quest for the Throne evokes images of kings and castles, knights and horses, and dragons in all their glory. It is a bold and aggressive piece throughout, but includes a contrasting, lush secondary theme for variety. In his typical style, Clark has used forceful figures, and strong melodic content to give students music they'll want to practice and play again and again.
This piece should depict images of kings and castles, knight and horses, dragons and damsels in distress. It should be bold and aggressive throughout, but never with bad tone. This is then contrasted by the lush second theme that is presented first in a softer thin orchestration, but later becomes a change for the whole ensemble to play in a strong, but lush presentation of this theme.One thing that is important to me when writing music for younger students is to offer pieces that challenge all students in the ensemble and give every section an important part of the musical presentation, which naturally should include some melodic material. Every member of the ensemble wants to feel that they are contributing to the collective whole.It has been my pleasure to have the opportunity to write this piece. I hope you and your students enjoy it and find it useful for your program.—Larry ClarkLakeland, FL 2018.

Concert Band/Harmonie - Grade 3.5

SKU: BT.GOB-001165-140

Composed by Wilco Moerman. Gobelin Concert. Concert Piece. Score Only. Composed 2016. 33 pages. Gobelin Music Publications #GOB 001165-140. Published by Gobelin Music Publications (BT.GOB-001165-140).

English-German-French-Dutch.

In A Knight's Tale, Wilco Moerman takes the listener back to the Middle Ages, when castles, knights’ tournaments and charming ladies were the order of the day. It describes scenes of the middle ages as one would expect from fairytales or movies featuring this period - with a duel between knights, hidden romances and a battlefield. The composer makes sure that all groups are well represented and includes lots of brass and percussion as well as chanting melodies and spectacular virtuoso segments which make this piece a perfect contest or concert opportunity.

Wilco Moerman neemt de luisteraar in A Knight's Tale mee terug naar de middeleeuwen, toen kastelen, riddertoernooien en beeldschone jonkvrouwen tot de dagelijkse realiteit behoorden. Het werk beschrijft verschillende taferelen waaronder een gevecht tussen ridders, verborgen romances en een heus slagveld. De componist laat alle instrumentgroepen aan bod komen en heeft veel koper en slagwerk in de muziek verwerkt, naast zangerige melodieën en spectaculaire virtuoze passages. Hiermee kan elk orkest voor de dag komen, zowel in een wedstrijd als op een concert!

A Knight‘s Tale versetzt den Zuhörer zurück ins Mittelalter, die Zeit der Burgen, Ritterturniere und Edelfräuleins. Es beschreibt mittelalterliche Szenen, wie man sie aus Marchen oder Film kennt: ein Duell, heimliche Liebschaften und eine Schlacht. Alle Instrumentengruppen sind hier gut vertreten. Es gibt viel Blechblaser und Schlagwerk, aber auch kantable Melodien und virtuose Abschnitte. Ein perfektes Wettbewerbs- und Konzertstuck!

Dans A Knight’s Tale, Wilco Moerman transporte l’auditeur au Moyen- ge, quand les ch teaux, les tournois de chevaliers et les belles femmes étaient l’ordre du jour. L’œuvre décrit en musique des scènes de cette époque sorties d’un conte ou film avec des duels entre chevaliers, des romances secrètes et un champ de bataille. Le compositeur s’assure que tous les registres sont bien représentés, avec beaucoup de passage pour les cuivres et les percussions, ainsi que des mélodies grandioses et de spectaculaires passages virtuoses qui rendent cette œuvre parfaite pour un concours ou un concert.
