Unlike most passion settings with choir, soloists and orchestra, this version of the Markus-Passion has been conceived for band, narrator and mezzo soprano and baritone (or alto). The lyrics from the Gospel According to Mark have been used in full, which makes this passion quite unique. If desired, the lyrics of the evangelist can be spoken in any language, to make the work more accessible to the audience. However, because of the rhythms involved, the sung parts should always be performed in German. This special work should be a truly overwhelming experience for your audience!

De meeste passies zijn geschreven voor koor, solisten en orkest, maar deze versie van de Markus-Passion is gecomponeerd voor blaasorkest, verteller, mezzosopraan en bariton (of alt). De tekst uit het evangelie volgens Marcus wordt door de componist integraal gebruikt, wat deze passie uniek maakt. Desgewenst kunnen de teksten van de evangelist in elke gewenste taal worden uitgesproken, om het werk toegankelijker te maken voor het publiek. De gezongen delen zullen omwille van de ritmiek altijd in het Duits moeten worden uitgevoerd. Met dit in alle opzichten bijzondere werk biedt u uw publiek een overweldigende ervaring!

Diese Version der Markus-Passion wurde für Blasorchester, Erzähler, Mezzosopran (oder Alt) und Bariton geschrieben und unterscheidet sich dadurch von den meisten anderen Passionen, die für Chor, Solisten und Orchester konzipiert sind. Die Texte aus dem Markusevangelium wurden vollständig verwendet, was diese Passion einzigartig macht. Die Worte des Evangelisten können auch in einer anderen Sprache vorgetragen werden, damit das Werk für das jeweilige Publikum zugänglicher ist. Die Vokalstimmen sollten aufgrund der komplexen Rhythmen immer auf Deutsch gesungen werden. Dieses Werk ist in jeder Hinsicht etwas ganz Besonderes und bietet ein wirklich überwältigendes Erlebnis fürdas Publikum!

Si vous le souhaitez, les paroles de l’évangéliste peuvent être récitées dans toutes les langues afin de rendre l’œuvre plus accessible au public. Les parties chantées doivent toujours être interprétées en allemand en raison de la rythmique. Cette œuvre est très particulière dans tous les sens du terme et est une expérience extraordinaire pour votre public !

In a Persian Market was composed in 1920 by English composer Albert W. Ketèlby. 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.

In a Persian Market, vom Engländer Albert W. Ketèlby im Jahre 1920 komponiert, ist ein kurzes Tongedicht über das bunte Treiben auf einem exotischen persischen Basar. Kameltreiber, Bettler, eine Prinzessin, Jongleure und Schlangenbeschwörer füllen die Szenerie, bevor die Karawane der Prinzessin sich in Bewegung setzt und Ruhe einkehrt. Diese Transkription für Blasorchester von Tohru Takahashi wird dem Original voll und ganz gerecht.

In a Persian Market, composto nel 1920, è un breve poema con un titolo esotico; Ketèlbey ha composto numerose opere di questo genere negli anni, come per esempio: In a Monastery Garden, In a Chinese Temple Garden e In the Mystic Land of Egypt. La musica di In a Persian Market evoca immagini di viaggiatori sui cammelli, cacciatori di briganti e l’arrivo del principe. In questa trascrizione per banda di Tohru Takahashi, le atmosfere dell’opera originale sono rievocate magistralmente.

A most creative young band novelty marked by occasional bizarre playing which challenges each section of the band. A sometimes rapid tempo in 3/4 meter adds to the elements of surprise and an unpredictable outcome.
