In this sparkling composition, Harm Evers lets the trumpet section show off their style and versatility. Blow The Trumpets opens with an exciting passage that gives the trumpeters' tonguing free rein. This is then contrasted with the melodic and somewhat bluesy character of the interlude

Gun uw trompettisten een plaats in de schijnwerpers! Met deze flitsende compositie van Harm Evers kan het. Want met Blow the Trumpets laat u uw publiek de stilistische veelzijdigheid van uw trompettisten zien. Terwijl ze erin het eerste deel in een razend tempo 'vandoor gaan', vergt het tweede deel met zijn blueskarakter een lieflijker en melodieuzer aanpak. Boeiend en vol afwisseling!

Mit dieser spritzigen Komposition gibt Harm Evers Ihren Trompetern die Moglichkeit, stilistische Vielseitigkeit unter Beweis zu stellen. Wahrend sie im ersten Teil mit spitzen Zungen davon galoppieren, erfordert der Zwischenteil mit seinem Bluescharakter umso mehr melodische Ausdruckskraft.

Avec cette petillante composition, Harm Evers donnera a vos trompettistes la possibilite d'exposer les nombreuses facettes de cet extraordinaire instrument. Lors de la premiere partie, galopante et vivifiante, un detache bien franc s'impose. La deuxieme partie affiche quant a elle toute l'expressivite de la trompette sur un theme aux essences bluesy.

Con questa vivace composizione, Harm Evers offre alle trombe la possibilita di mostrare le molteplici sfaccettature dello strumento. La parte centrale, di carattere blues, richiede un'esecuzione melodiosa.

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 earlier chorale melody.

Treat your ensemble and audience to sophisticated-sounding, yet quite playable blues for young band. Jazz-voiced chords and a cool bluesy groove give this piece a very appealing sound. Add in some soloists trading fours and a shout chorus, and this might be the tune that brings the house down! (2:30).

This exciting, innovative new work from Robert Buckley was commissioned by the Troy University Symphony Band in honor of the 37th annual Southeastern United States Concert Band Clinic in Alabama. Using a recurring two-measure loop, this uniquely constructed piece is built up around various musical building blocks that are constantly evolving and transforming. The music is dramatic and dynamic, with full-blown ensemble passages suddenly dropping to quiet, powerful moments without ever losing the music's continuous drive. Following an exotic, bluesy middle section the piece builds, accelerating to a thrilling, rhythmic, percussive finish. A real tour de force! Duration: 7:00.
