Irish Lullaby is based on the song Too-Ra-Loo-Ra-Loo-Ral  (That's an Irish Lullaby).  Carl Strommen does what he does best in creating a beautifully orchestrated piece with diverse harmonies that will be the highlight of your next concert. It will be a great piece to teach phrasing and musicianship.
Too-Ra-Loo-Ra-Loo-Ral (“That’s An Irish Lullaby” ) was written in 1913 by composer James Royce Shannon (1881–1946) for the Tin Pan Alley musical, Shameen Dhu. The original recording by Chauncy Olcott became No. 1 on the music charts. The song was then brought back to prominence by Bing Crosby’s performance in the film Going My Way (1944). Crosby’s solo sold over one million copies.The University of Notre Dame Band, started in 1845, is the oldest college band (in continuous existence) in the United States. The band played as students left to join the armies during the Civil War, World War 1 and 2, Korea and Vietnam. In 1871, the band played a benefit concert for the victims of the Great Chicago Fire. The bands performances in countless settings and venues include the Sydney Opera House, Bejing Concert Hall, Carnegie Hall, and, in 2011, was awarded the prestigious Sudler Trophy, considered the “Heisman Trophy” of Collegiate bands.The Bands Director, Ken Dye, is only the sixth director in its long history. Dr. Dye served as composer/arranger for the Sydney 2000 Olympic band, and has produced over 1800 works for band and orchestra.

Cornish Coastal Walk is a beautiful new composition depicting the majestic cliffs and coastline of the Cornwall region in England. Composer Michael Miller provides young bands with an opportunity to stretch their musical muscles with this lush and tuneful piece in 3/4 time. Directors will find in this piece a strong vehicle to teach phrasing, beauty of tone, and musicianship to young bands.
In the far southwest of England reaching out towards the Celtic Sea is the county Cornwall. A peninsula, Cornwall is surrounded by some of the world’s most picturesque scenery including beaches, cliffs, and rolling hills. Separated from the rest of England by the river Tamar, the Cornish take great pride in their culture including the pasty (a stuffed pastry and preferred lunch of miners), Cornish cream tea (not to be confused with rival Devon cream tea where the cream goes under the jam), and well known national heritage sights such as Rough Tor (Cornwall’s highest point), and Tintagel Castle (rumored birth place of King Arthur).In the spring and summer of 2017, I had the pleasure to visit Cornwall, while my wife was a visiting scholar at the University of Exeter in the neighboring county of Devon. One July afternoon, while she was making field observations (she’s a Cultural Anthropologist), I decided to take a stroll along the cliffs as was recommended by a friend. I set out from Boscastle, a small inlet village where one can enjoy the most delicious black currant ice cream, and I trekked up and down the cliffs for three or four miles before finally arriving in Tintagel. I had planned to continue on to Trebarwith Strand, home of the fantastic Port William tavern, but greatly underestimated the difficulty of the terrain.Along my walk I witnessed some of the most breathtaking views I have ever seen. The coast of this particular region of Cornwall is both majestic and peaceful. It is frighteningly powerful, but also loving and kind. It is the type of place where people have for years looked out over the sea longing for their loved ones to return. I hope this music brings you the same inner peace I found on my hike that day.This piece is dedicated to Neil and his sidekick Derek, without whom I might have been just another tourist.

Tchaikovsky is best known for his purely instrumental compositions. However, we must not underestimate him as a composer of operas. Many of his operas such as ¬Pique Dame and Eugene Onegin are still performed regularly throughout the world. Eugene Onegin (also called Jevgeny Onegin), composed in 1877-1878, was not called an opera by Tchaikovsky himself, but “lyric scenes”. The work is entirely dominated by lyricism. However, there are two moments that contrast sharply with this lyricism: two ball scenes, for which Tchaikovsky wrote a waltz and a polonaise.After opening with a less well-known allegro dansant, this arrangement features the aforementioned waltz, which can beconsidered a beautiful Russian equivalent of the Faust Waltz by Charles Gounod. In the opera, this waltz is actually played by a military band. The arrangement concludes with the pompous polonaise (also mentioned above) which opens the last act: the ideal music to characterize high aristocracy in the salon of a palace in St. Petersburg.

Tchaikowsky ist berühmt für seine rein instrumentalen Kompositionen. Er ist jedoch auch als Opernkomponist nicht zu unterschätzen.Viele seiner OPern werden immoernoch regelmäßig auf der ganzen Welt aufgeführt, wie zum Beispiel Pique Dame und Eugen OneginEugen Onegin wurde in den Jahren 1877 bis 1878 komponiert und von Tschaikowsky selbst zunächst nicht als Oper, sondern als lyrische Szenen betitelt. Der lyrische Charakter ist im ganzen Werk vorherrschend. Zwei Stellen kontrastieren jedoch deutlich mit dieser Lyrik: zwei Ballszenen ,für die Tschaikowsky einen Walzer uns eine Polonaise schrieb.Nach einem weniger bekannten Allegro Dansant als Eröffung,stellt dieses Arrangement vor allem den oben genannten Walzer in den Vordergrund, welcher guten Herzens als ein schönes russisches Gegenstück zu Charles Gounods Faustwalzer bezeichnet werden kann. In der Oper wird dieser Walzer von einer Militärkapelle gespielt. Das Arrangement schließt mit der erwähnten pompösen Polonaise, die den letztzen Akt eröffnet: die ideale Musik, um ein Bild des Hochadels im Salon eines Petersburger Palastes zu zeichnen.

Brian May’s We Will Rock You was not Queen’s biggest hit when it first came out. However, looking back it has become much more than simply a successful song. It is the group’s hymn, welcomed with loud cheers whenever and wherever it is played. Let the good times roll with Lorenzo Bocci’s outstanding arrangement that will rock your band!

We Will Rock You von Brian May ist kurz nach seiner Veröffentlichung nicht einmal der größte Erfolg für die Rockgruppe Queen gewesen - rückblickend, anlässlich des 40-jährigen Bühnenjubiläums, ist er die Hymne und das Erkennungszeichen der Band schlechthin. Wenn Sie einer der großartigsten Rockbands aller Zeiten ein Konzertprogramm widmen wollen, darf diese Bearbeitung nicht fehlen!

Lors de sa sortie, en 1977, la chanson We Will Rock You, écrite par Brian May, reçut un accueil plutôt mitigé. Pourtant, elle compte aujourd’hui parmi les chansons les plus populaires du groupe. Elle fut reprise par divers artistes et utilisée par le monde publicitaire. En choisissant We Will Rock You, vous rendrez un hommage vibrant ce groupe mythique.

We Will Rock You è la prima canzone dell’album News of the World dei Queen, uscito nel 1977 e composta da Brian May. Sulla facciata B del 45 giri si trovava We Are the Champions, ciò che spiega il fatto che queste due canzoni furono a volte eseguite insieme nei concerti della band, spesso una seconda volta in una versione più rapida. We Will Rock You resta una delle canzoni più popolari del gruppo ed è stata più volte ripresa da vari artisti.
