Veel dirigenten hebben de uitstekende gewoonte elke repetitie te beginnen met een klankstudie. Het is echter net zo belangrijk om regelmatig de ritmische vaardigheden van de muzikanten te bevorderen. Hiervoor is Rhythmic Warp-upsideaal.Met Rhythmic Warm-ups hebt u voor elk orkest op elk niveau een groot aantal efficiënte oefeningen. U kunt de 10 moderne vijfstemmige harmonisaties (A t/m J) combineren met de 36 ritmische patronen - zo hebt u360 oefeningen tot uw beschikking. Uitbreiding is mogelijk door de verschillende stemmen (1-5) verschillende ritmische patronen te laten spelen. Sommige oefeningen worden bijna kleine songs op zich. Verder is het uiteraard mogelijkde harmonisaties te combineren met specifieke ritmische patronen (die u bijvoorbeeld selecteert uit het repertoire waar u aan werkt). Door het gebruik van patronen met straight eighths en in swing (rechte achtsten en swing-achtsten)kunt u het orkest trainen in alle ritmische facetten van de lichte muziek. Door de notatie van hetzelfde ritmische swingpatroon in zowel de 4/4- als 12/8-maatsoort bieden deze Rhythmic Warm-ups u de mogelijkheid om zelfshet meest klassiek georiënteerde orkest binnen enkele repetities enig swinggevoel bij te brengen en meer thuis te laten raken in Latijns-Amerikaanse ritmes.

De nombreux chefs on ajouté une excellente routine leurs séances de répétition en effectuant un travail préliminaire sur le son. Certains utilisent un choral, d’autres choisissent une pièce solennelle du répertoire profane. Après avoir effectué ce travail préliminaire, la répétition suit son schéma habituel : l’étude des œuvres au programme.Si vous souhaitez développer la structuration rythmique de votre formation, chaque semaine, insérer une étude de rythme après la phase de travail du son.Rhythmic Warm-ups (“Échauffement rythmique”) contient une série d’exercices efficaces pour toutes les formations, quel que soit le niveau. En combinant les 10 pièces cinqvoix (A J) avec les 36 motifs rythmiques, vous disposez de 360 exercices de rythme. Pour élargir votre champ d’action, il vous suffit d’attribuer un motif rythmique différent chacune des cinq voix (1-5). Si la ligne de basse (voix 5) joue un rythme unique, les exercices se transforment en de petites pièces harmonieuses. Il est également possible de combiner les cinq voix avec des rythmes de votre choix (des rythmes extraits d’œuvres au programme, par exemple).En exploitant des motifs rythmiques en croches régulières et des motifs en croches irrégulières (swing), vos musiciens se familiariseront avec toutes les facettes rythmiques de la musique pop. Le fait de disposer d’un même motif rythmique en 4/4 et en 12/8 permet de développer le sens du swing (même chez les musiciens les plus classiques !), en quelques séances seulement. La percussion peut accompagner les motifs rythmiques 1 24 avec des rythmes pop ou latino-américains, condition de jouer ces rythmes en croches régulières. Les motifs rythmiques 25 36 doivent être soutenus par un « groove » swing. Plusieurs exemples de motifs pour la percussion ont été insérés.Il est conseillé de terminer chaque exercice avec un point d’orgue (une ronde).Je vous souhaite, vous et vos musiciens, une pleine réussite et beaucoup de satisfaction dans l’utilisation des Rhythmic

Rainbow in the Clouds is based on an old traditional spiritual, possibly an African-American song from the 19th century, entitled God Put a Rainbow in the Clouds.  Composer Carol Brittin Chambers was inspired by poetic Maya Angelou to create of setting of this beautiful song. It is lush and beautiful throughout and will highlight the musicianship of your students.  This would serve as a welcome change of pace piece on your program for concert or contest.
Rainbow in the Clouds was commissioned by the Pflugerville Middle School Wind Ensemble in Pflugerville, Texas, directed by Shauna Satrom. The piece premiered in May 2017, in memory and celebration of Luis Ham, who was an Assistant Principal at Pflugerville Middle School.This piece is based on an old traditional spiritual, possibly an African-American song from the nineteenth century, entitled God Put a Rainbow in the Clouds. The first time I heard reference to this song was in a Maya Angelou video, in which she sings a portion of it: “When it looked like the sun wouldn’t shine anymore, Oh, God put a rainbow in the clouds.” In the video, Dr. Angelou honors those who have demonstrated kindness to her in the past, and she suggests that we all try to be a blessing to others. The Pflugerville community believed that Mr. Ham, with his positive outlook, was definitely a “rainbow in the clouds” for other people.The piece begins with a full ensemble introduction, followed by a woodwind treatment of the first verse with a fairly reserved tempo and straight eighth-note rhythm. When brass pick up the melody on the second phrase, we start to hear the song more like the original spiritual, with dotted-eighth, sixteenth rhythms. The middle section of the piece at m. 22 begins to move at a slightly quicker tempo, and the mood becomes lighter. This section becomes a call-and-response between a euphonium solo and upper woodwinds. The final section of the piece involves everyone playing together joyously and full, eventually winding down with two more solo statements in flute and euphonium.Note to the Conductor:Use this piece to introduce or reinforce the following musical concepts:Lyrical, expressive playing varied stylesSolo responsibilitiesKey changes, tempo changes.

Who begins? Who follows? In 'Who's next?' the orchestra is divided up into two parts a number of times. The division seems random, but on close scrutiny it becomes clear at the end that sides are clearly taken, also in playing the melody, first one section and then .... who'll be next? 'Who's next?' is solid Rock, no nonsense, going straight ahead.

Wie begint? Wie volgt? In 'Who's next?' is het orkest een aantal keren in tweeën gedeeld. De splitsing lijkt willekeurig, maar als u goed oplet blijkt aan het eind dat er duidelijk partij gekozen wordt. Zo ook in het spelen vande melodie, eerst deze sectie en daarna .... Wie volgt? Who's next is een lekkere Rock, geen poespas, straight ahead.

A stunning and heart-wrenching composition based on the Jewish folk son Shlof, Mayn Kind. You can hear the emotional content pour out of this piece written in memory of an outstanding orchestra director. The piece beginnings with original material to set the tone, followed by a clarinet solo on the song. It then develops through a variety of different harmonic presentation before building to a nice key change and climatic moment. The piece ends as it began, but with a more hopeful tone. An amazing piece.
Sleep, My Child was commissioned by the Madison Middle School Band and Orchestra in Tampa, Florida, and is dedicated to the memory of their Director of Orchestras Kevin Frye. Director of Bands Chris Shultz championed the commissioning of this piece to honor Kevin after he passed away in December 2016. Mr. Frye was a beloved member of the staff at Madison Middle as well as the music community of Tampa and the state of Florida. I was a personal friend of Kevin’s. We were in several musical groups together when we were young that were formative to both of our musical careers. I also guest conducted his Madison Middle School Orchestra several times over the past four years. His musicianship, teaching skills and love for his students were exemplary.When taking on the challenge of writing a piece to honor Kevin’s legacy, Mr. Shultz and I decided to try and include several important aspects of Kevin’s life into the piece. Kevin was proudly Jewish, a fantastic trumpet player and loved Jazz. With that in mind, and after a lot of research, a Jewish folk song Shlof, Mayn Kind was selected as the basis for the piece, not to be religious, but to honor his faith and heritage. Plus it is a beautiful song, and I felt the title reflected the sentiment I was looking to express, which is of someone taking rest after a long battle with illness. Thus, a lullaby seemed appropriate.I also wanted to incorporate Jazz into the piece, but in a concert setting, so you will hear as the piece develops, the harmonies of the folk song expand into ones found more commonly in Jazz compositions. Not in a far out way, but in a subtle way to again honor this part of his life. For example the climactic moment of the piece at the fermata in m. 57 is a Dbmaj9#11 chord. It appropriately give the piece the angst that I was looking for at this moment in the piece, while honoring the importance of Jazz in Kevin’s musical life.The piece was also conceived to include both the Madison band and orchestra in the performance at the premiere. I wanted the pieces to work separately by the band and separately by the orchestra, but I also wanted them to be able to play the piece together to honor Kevin.The piece begins with original material designed to set the mood of the piece with a tempo/style marking of pensive, but also as material that I used as connective musical tissue between statements of the folk song.  After this introduction, the folk song is presented by a solo violin (or clarinet) with orchestral accompaniment in a simple straight forward presentation of the song. This is followed by a woodwind section statement of the folk song accompanied by muted trumpets. During this presentation the harmony starts to expand with more color notes in the chords. The low brass are added half way through this statement to add depth and lushness.The introductory material returns, but with some angry hits in the lower voices. This leads to a full ensemble state of new material that is used to transition to the climax of the piece, and to build tension. After the build, the piece modulates to a shortened statement of the folk song with more advanced harmonies and an active counter line in the violas, horns, saxes and first clarinets to further build the tension.  This tension is released at the fermata in m. 57, as mentioned above. After a thoughtful pause, the piece concludes with a completion of the folk song again with a solo violin (or clarinet) followed by a return of the introductory material to tie the piece together. The piece ends hopeful, with a solo trumpet (Kevin’s instrument) that is dissonant at first, but then resolves as if to say - everything will be OK! It has been my distinct honor to have been asked to write this piece in Kevin’s memory! I hope that in some small way the piece helps to bring comfort to his family, students, colleagues and to all those that knew him!–Larry ClarkLakeland, FL  2017.

Jingle Bells is a Christmas hit known all over the world, so why not play it in some diverse global styles? This was Konrad Koselleck's initial thought when he began working on this arrangement. The opening takes us straight into a Disney movie, then some Irish flutes invite you to take a sleigh ride somewhere up north in Lapland. Down by the river Volga, a Russian hero sings a ballad and a complete Rimsky-Korsakov orchestra answers. A harp invites you for a French waltz a la Ravel . . . or is it Strauss? Thereafter a Bavarian polka sets the right tempo to finish the song, sounding like a Big Band with a boulevard of Hollywood strings before Rudolf leaves us with a last farewell. Arranged for full orchestra.
