An ideal concert opener, Crescent Moon will fill your ears with joy and happiness!

Het jaar 2011... Voor Japan een jaar van tragedie en verdriet. Maar net zoals de maan iedere nacht weer opkomt en licht in de duisternis brengt, zal ook Japan weer herrijzen en ooit het licht weer zien. Muziek kan daarbij een rolspelen en brengt ons vreugde en geluk. Met Crescent Moon benadrukt Jan Van der Roost de kracht ervan. Muziek is van een universele schoonheid en nodigt uit - ongeacht ras, cultuur of geloof - te genieten. Prachtig!

Crescent Moon ist eine festliche Ouvertüre, die Jan Van der Roost im Auftrag eines japanischen Blasorchesters schrieb. Das Stück beginnt langsam im mittleren Register, wird aber allmählich heller und strahlender - so wie der aufgehende Mond den Nachthimmel erhellt. Nach dieser eher majestätischen Einleitung tritt ein virtuoses Allegro hervor, das technische Finessen in allen Registern zum Vorschein bringt. Schließlich gipfelt das Stück in einer Atmosphäre der Freude und des Optimismus‘.

Crescent Moon débute de manière solennelle dans le registre moyen et se déploie progressivement en une orchestration plus brillante. Après cette introduction quelque peu grandiose, un allegro virtuose émerge, occasionnant des prouesses techniques dans tous les registres. Un climat d’optimisme joyeux domine ce mouvement - une ambiance très appropriée pour une occasion aux couleurs hautement festives. Que cette oeuvre contribue stimuler l’optimisme et la confiance en un avenir meilleur.

Crescent Moon è un’ouverture festiva composta da Jan Van der Roost su incarico di una banda giapponese. Il brano inizia in modo solenne nel registro medio per poi divenire gradualmente più intenso, quasi a simboleggiare la luna che, alzandosi in cielo, riesce a irradiare una forte luce sulla terra. Dopo un’introduzione maestosa, appare un virtuoso allegro che richiede doti tecniche in tutti i registri. Il finale porta a una conclusione di carattere gioioso e ottimista.

Moon Song, Sun Dance was commissioned by flugel horn virtuoso, Claude Romailler, and premiered by him at the Swiss National Solo andQuartet Championships in April 2012.As the title implies, the work is in two contrasting movements, which can be performed separately or together.Moon Song opens with a flowing modal theme, which the soloist embellishes before the band takes centre stage.A central section brightens the mood with a new melody over the lightest of accompaniments; this is once again developed by the soloist until the original theme reappears, played by the band. This introduces a cadenza for the soloist which either closes the movement, or can be extended to link directly to the second movement.Sun Dance is a vivace 6/8 scherzo which opens with a flourish from the band. The soloist then introduces the main theme, which in turn is taken up by the band. A short bridge passage heralds a change of key and a new melody from the soloist. A brief central interlude then introduces a change of meter and recalls the main melody of Moon Song, before a recapitulation leads to a florid coda, which brings the work to a close.Solo part: difficulty 5.
