I Shall Love But Thee is an occasional work in the literal sense of the word, since it was originally written on the occasion of the composer’s youngest son’s wedding. The texts, by William Shakespeare, inspired Jan Van der Roost to compose profound and appealing music, largely in the style of Henry Purcell (in the first part) and Georg Friedrich Handel (in the second part)—although no literal quotations have been used. The rather rare combination of soprano and concert band makes this piece a unique addition to the repertoire!

I Shall Love But Thee is in de letterlijke zin van het woord een gelegenheidswerk, want het werd oorspronkelijk geschreven naar aanleiding van het huwelijk van de jongste zoon van de componist. De teksten zijn van William Shakespeare: Jan Van der Roost werd erdoor ge nspireerd tot het creëren van indringende en aansprekende muziek, die in stilistisch opzicht doet denken aan Henry Purcell (in het eerste deel) en Georg Friedrich Händel (in het tweede deel), twee componisten die op teksten van Shakespeare hebben gecomponeerd ook al zijn er geen letterlijke citaten gebruikt. De vrij zeldzame combinatie van sopraan en harmonieorkest maakt dit werk een unieke aanwinst voor hetrepertoire!

I Shall Love But Thee ist ein Gelegenheitswerk im eigentlichen Sinn, denn der Komponist hat es ursprünglich aus Anlass der Hochzeit seines jüngsten Sohnes geschrieben. Die Texte stammen von William Shakespeare und haben Jan Van der Roost dazu inspiriert, eine tiefgründige und ansprechende Musik im Stil der großen Meister zu komponieren. Stilistisch erinnert sie an Henry Purcell (im ersten Teil) und an Georg Friedrich Händel (im zweiten Teil), auch wenn keine literarischen Zitate verwendet wurden. Durch die eher seltene Kombination von Sopran und Blasorchester stellt das Stück eine einzigartige Bereicherung für das Repertoire dar!

I Shall Love But Thee est une « œuvre d’occasion » dans l’un des sens littéraux du mot, puisqu’elle fut écrite l’occasion du mariage du fils cadet du compositeur. Les textes de William Shakespeare ont inspiré Jan Van der Roost écrire de la musique profonde et attrayante qui, au niveau du style, nous rappelle Henry Purcell (dans la première partie) et Georg Friedrich Haendel (dans la deuxième moitié), deux compositeurs qui ont mis en musique des textes de Shakespeare, bien qu’on n’y retrouve pas de citations littérales. Cette œuvre unique au regroupement plutôt rare de soprano et orchestre d'harmonie va enrichir votre répertoire !

I Shall Love But Thee' (Amerò soltanto te) è stata scritta originariamente in occasione del matrimonio del figlio più giovane del compositore Jan van der Roost. I testi di William Shakespeare hanno ispirato Van der Roost a comporre musica nello stile di Purcell e Händel. La combinazione di soprano e banda rende questo pezzo un'aggiunta unica al repertorio!

This thought-provoking book contains seven high-level exchanges between a leading wind band practitioner and a music education philosopher. Each section of The Future of the Wind Band grapples with the most profound issues facing the music education profession and the path of instrumental music education in our schools: Relevance: What relevance, if any, does the wind band have both to today’s students and to culture more broadly in the twenty-first century? What relevance does the band experience hold for students’ everyday life? Repertoire: What is the relationship between the repertoire performed by wind ensembles and the larger musical world? Pedagogy: What constitutes best practice in terms of musical pedagogy and rehearsal technique within the large-ensemble experience? Creativity: Can the wind band function as a vehicle for enhancing the individual creativity of its members? Economic Justice: How do issues of social class and the distribution of wealth relate to broader questions of social justice within the context of instrumental music education? Professional Ethics: What are the primary ethical responsibilities of the wind band conductor? Democratic Citizenship: What relationship, if any, can be drawn between membership in the wind band and citizen participation in democracy? Such exchanges can only strengthen our profession and pay rich dividends in our musical and educational work with the students we serve. Editor of this book, William (Bill) M. Perrine is Associate Professor of Music and Director of Instrumental Activities at Concordia University in Ann Arbor, Michigan, where he directs the wind ensemble, marching band, and community orchestra.

Anna Amalia of Prussia held various titles during her lifetime, including Princess and Abbess of Quedlinburg. Born in Berlin, she was one of ten surviving children of the royal family of King Frederick William I of Prussia. Princess Anna Amalia studied harpsichord, piano and counterpoint. Princess Anna also founded a music library collection, which included autographed scores of J.S. Bach and other composers. This collection still exists today (Amalien Bibliothek). This two-movement Divertimento in Bb Major has something for everyone. The melodic and secondary parts are passed equally between the instruments. The piano part is quite playable for a high school student. It has the character of a conversation between friends gathering for a friendly afternoon tea. This arrangement is scored for piano quartet, with a substitue clarinet part in place of violin.

You’ll quickly fall in love with this great little rock tune based on a very famous melody by J.S. Bach. First stated by the woodwinds in a legato 3/4 style, the melody soon is revamped in 4/4 and a medium rock style. Excellent materials for the end of the first year or second year students. Very attractive as a concert piece. This theme will be familiar to your concert audience.
