The German composer Johannes Brahms (1833-1897) wrote his Academic Fesival Overture in the summer of 1880, together with the Tragic Overture. The occasion was the honorary degree which Brahms had received a year before from the University of Breslau. Initially, Brahms had sent a thank-you note, but he was expected to express his gratitude with a composition. The premiere took place on 4 January, 1881 - conducted by the composer himself - in Breslau. For this sparkling work, Brahms used various German student songs as a basis in an inventive way - and a little jestingly. Owing to the accessible development, lyrical warmth, humor, and persuasiveness, the Academic Festival Overtureis still a popular concert work. This transcription for concert band, which has been written by Tohru Takahashi, does justice to the original composition. Voor dit sprankelende werk gebruikte Brahms op inventieve wijze - en een tikje schertsend - verschillende Duitse studentenliederen als basis. Dankzij de toegankelijke opbouw, lyrische warmte, humor en meeslependheid is de AkademischeFestouvertüre nog altijd een geliefd concertwerk. Deze transcriptie voor harmonieorkest, die is geschreven door Tohru Takahashi, doet recht aan de originele compositie.Als Basis für dieses strahlende Werk, das er zum Dank für die ihm verliehene Ehrendoktorwürde der Universität Breslau schrieb, verwendete Brahms in erfinderischer und heiterer Manier verschiedene deutsche Studentenlieder. Dank seiner leicht zugänglichen Entwicklung, der lyrischen Wärme, seines Humors und seiner Ãœberzeugungskraft ist das Stück heute noch sehr beliebt. Au cours de l’été 1880, le compositeur allemand Johannes Brahms (1833-1897) écrit son Ouverture pour une fête académique, op. 80. Elle est contemporaine de l'Ouverture tragique qui en est son pendant. Un an auparavant, Brahms avait été fait docteur « honoris causa » de l’Université de Breslau. Dans un premier temps, il se contenta d'une simple note manuscrite titre de remerciement, mais comprit rapidement que cela ne saurait suffire. Il composa donc l’Ouverture pour une fête académique en remerciement pour sa nomination. L’œuvre fut créée l’Université de Breslau, le 4 janvier 1881, sous la direction du compositeur. Sorte de fantaisiepétillante et inventive, l’Ouverture académique est constituée de plusieurs chansons estudiantines allemandes en vogue l’époque. En raison de son développement accessible, riche en expressivité, espiègle et lumineux, cette ouverture reste très largement appréciée de nos jours.Cette transcription pour Orchestre d’Harmonie signée Tohru Takahashi est fidèle l’œuvre originale.

A Bluegrass Overture was commissioned by Gabriel Wooley and funded by a grant from Leslie and Cathy Anderson for the Central Kentucky Concert Band to celebrate their 40th anniversary in 2016. This energetic overture opens with an introduction loosely based on 'bluegrass' chords before a slower, legato chorale appears in the clarinets and flutes. This is short-lived and soon a new mood is introduced, based on a repeated-note accompaniment. This leads to the main theme, heavily syncopated with bluesy inflections. A central section features a cantabile melody, which changes key frequently, before the main theme reappears, leading to a triumphal presentation of the earlierchorale melody. A Bluegrass Overture is geschreven voor de Central Kentucky Concert Band ter gelegenheid van hun veertigjarig bestaan in 2016. De opdracht komt van Gabriel Wooley en is gefinancierd door een gift van Leslie en Cathy Anderson. Deze energieke ouverture opent met bluegrass-akkoorden, waarna in de klarinetten en fluiten een langzamer, legato koraal naar voren komt. Het wordt al snel gevolgd door een nieuw sfeerbeeld, dat is gebaseerd op een begeleiding van herhaalde noten. Hier komt het hoofdthema uit voort, dat zwaar gesyncopeerd is en bluesachtige invloeden laat horen. In het middengedeelte klinkt een zangerige melodie met frequente modulaties, waarna hethoofdthema weer opduikt en ons meevoert naar een glorierijke presentatie van de eerder gespeelde koraalmelodie. A Bluegrass Overture wurde von Gabriel Wooley anlasslich des 40-jahrigen Jubilaums der Central Kentucky Concert Band im Jahre 2016 in Auftrag gegeben und von Leslie und Cathy Anderson finanziell unterstutzt. Diese energiegeladene Ouverture beginnt mit einer Einleitung mit lockeren Bluegrass-Akkorden, bevor ein langsamer Choral im Legato in den Klarinetten und Floten erklingt. Das ist jedoch nur von kurzer Dauer, denn schon bald wird durch eine Begleitung mit repetierten Noten eine neue Stimmung erzeugt. Dies fuhrt schliesslich zum Hauptthema mit deutlichen Synkopen und Blues-Modulationen. Die zentrale Passage zeichnet sich durch eine kantable Melodie aus, die haufigdie Tonart wechselt, bevor das Hauptthema wiederkehrt und zu einer triumphalen Prasentation der vorherigen Choralmelodie hinleitet. A Bluegrass Overture fut commande par Gabriel Wooley et finance par une bourse de Leslie et Cathy Anderson pour la celebration du 40e anniversaire du Central Kentucky Concert Band en 2016. Cette ouverture energique debute par une introduction basee vaguement sur les accords de bluegrass, puis un court choral plus lent et plus legato apparait chez les clarinettes et flutes. Bientot un changement d'atmosphere se produit, base sur un accompagnement de motifs de notes repetees. Ceci nous mene au theme principal, tres syncope, aux inflexions de blues. La section du milieu comprend une melodie lyrique qui change de tonalite frequemment, avant que le retour du theme principal nousmene a une presentation triomphale de la melodie de choral entendue plus tot. Questa ouverture energica si apre con una introduzione dal movimento ampio caratterizzata da accordi in stile bluegrass prima di un corale lento e legato affi dato ai clarinetti e ai flauti, di breve durata, e presto sostituito da una nuova atmosfera, scandita da un accompagnamento con note ribattute. Questo conduce a un tema principale, molto sincopato, con inflessioni blues. Una sezione centrale dalla melodia cantabile che cambia spesso tonalita anticipa la ricomparsa del tema principale, che conduce a sua volta a una trionfale riproposizione della melodia corale.
