Inspiration for Great Falls Fantasy, by Brant Karrick, comes from The Great Falls of the Potomac River, considered one of the most spectacular landmarks in the Washington D.C. area. A Coplandesque theme weaves its way through unique harmonies, including inversions and extended chords, reflecting the majesty and beauty of the river and its surroundings. (3:30).

As an inexhaustible proponent of Beethoven's life and work, Franz Liszt (1811-1886) produced a number of arrangements and transcriptions in homage to the great composer. His FANTASIE ÜBER MOTIVEN AUS BEETHOVENS RUINEN VON ATHEN, S. 122 (FANTASY ON BEETHOVEN'S RUINS OF ATHENS) for piano and orchestra is one of three existing versions, all of which he dedicated to Nikolay Rubinstein. The work on which the piece is based, incidental music for a play by August von Kotzebue, was written in 1811 in Pest, Hungary for the dedication of a new theater. The first performance of the FANTASY took place, also in Pest, on June 1, 1853. Instrumentation: 2+Picc.2.2.2: 2.2.3.0: Timp.Perc(2-3) Str (9-8-7-6-5 in set): Solo Pno in Score. Reprint edition.

Avalon–Long Live the King is a medieval fantasy piece depicting the Isle of Avalon where the mystical sword Excalibur of King Arthur was forged. Composer Tyler Arcari unearths a solid piece for young bands that is both bold and dramatic. This piece is sure to spark the imagination of students and give them strong musical content with which they can develop their musicianship.
Program Notes:Avalon–Long live the King began its journey as a commission in honor of a dear friend and mentor. David Riggs is one of those band directors that just seems timeless. He is a powerhouse with such a stacked resume that it is easy to forget that at the end of the day he enjoys taking long bike rides with his lovely wife and whittling a piece of wood just as much as being a band director. He has touched so many lives and inspired so many people in our field and beyond. I was humbled, and honored, when I was contacted for the commission. To David, I hope that you one day know how much you mean to so many people, including myself.About the piece:The piece is written with a little homage to David’s long tenure at Avalon Middle school in Pace, Florida. He was certainly treated like a king as the band director and rightly so. It seemed only fitting to add a little medieval fantasy. Avalon is a mystical island in the world of King Arthur where the great sword Excalibur was forged.The piece begins lyrically with a slow introduction with melodic material. This melodic motive is used throughout with slight variations depending on the instrument voicing etc. Care should be taken at m. 10 that the Timpani roll helps to bridge our transition from an exposed section to full tutti. Care should be taken so that the tempo change at m. 19 is brisk and avoids the low brass turning into stomping. Accessories like the China cymbal and tambourine can become overpowering. I recommend having students think of these effects as background in order to make sure they don’t POP out. The dynamic changes at mm. 27-35 should be subito similar to orchestral dynamic changes. Avoid unwritten crescendos in this section. Measures 60–64 are a great opportunity to teach those unwritten dynamics that make music so enjoyable as we lead up to the finale. It was originally left blank for some theatrics in the premiere at David’s retirement concert so I know he would enjoy adding some Cholesterol as David would say.Long Live the King!

Composed by Giacomo Puccini. Arranged by Wil van der Beek. Great Classics. Classical. Set (Score and Parts). Composed 2007. De Haske Publications #DHP 1084420-010. Published by De Haske Publications (BT.DHP-1084420-010).

9x12 inches. English-German-French-Dutch.

Giacomo Puccini was one of the all time great opera composers andis especially famed for his wonderful, warm-blooded melodies, hiscolourful instrumentations, his compelling dramatics, his musicalfantasy and his power to reflect exotic ambiences in sounds. ForPuccini Highlights, Wil van der Beek has made use of musical materialfrom the tenor aria â??E lucevan le stelleâ?? (Tosca), the choral aria â??Girala coteâ?? (Turandot) and the soprano aria â??Un bel di vedremoâ?? (MadamButterfly). An operatic masterpiece that will go down a storm at anyconcert.

Puccini wordt geroemd om zijn warmbloedige melodieën, kleurrijke instrumentaties, meeslepende dramatiek en muzikale fantasie. Opvallend veel Puccini-ariaâ??s zijn buiten hun eigenlijke context aantrekkelijk gebleken voor de concertpraktijk.Voor Puccini Highlights heeft Wil van der Beek gebruik gemaakt van muzikaal materiaal uit de tenoraria â??E lucevan le stelleâ?? (Tosca), de kooraria â??Gira la coteâ?? (Turandot) en de sopraanaria â??Un bel divedremoâ?? (Madama Butterfly).

Puccini war zweifellos einer der erfolgreichsten italienischen Opernkomponisten aller Zeiten. Viele seiner Arien haben sich auch als beliebte Konzertstücke au�erhalb ihres eigentlichen Kontexts bewährt. Für Puccini Highlights verwendete Wil van der Beek musikalisches Material aus der Tenorarie E Lucevan le Stelle aus Tosca, der Chorarie Gira la Cote aus Turandot sowie der Sopranarie Un Bel di Vedremo aus Madama Butterfly.

Giacomo Puccini (1858-1924) est, après Verdi, lâ??un des plus grands représentants de lâ??opéra italien. Il reste célèbre pour les teintes sublimes de ses mélodies chaleureuses, ses orchestrations colorées, ses drames envo tants, sa créativité musicale et son incroyable capacité délivrer des ambiances exotiques travers des textures sonores.Parmi les classiques des opéras pucciniens, on peut citer Manon Lescaut, La Bohème, Tosca, Madame Butterfly et Turandot. Il est également frappant de constater que de nombreux airs de Puccini, même sortis de leur contexte dâ??origine, sont parfaitement adaptés une interprétation en concert.Pour réaliser cet arrangement, Wil van derBeek a puisé dans le tissu musical de lâ??air pour ténor E lucevan le stelle (Tosca), dans le ch?ur dâ??opéra Gira la cote! Gira! (Turandot) et dans lâ??air pour soprano Un bel di vedremo (Madame Butterfly).
