This intense and emotional work was commissioned by the Indiana Music Educators Association and was premiered at the 2011 IMEA Convention with the composer conducting. Written as a gift to longtime friend of music education, Dr. Tim Lautzenheiser, the piece is basically lyrical in nature with beautiful lines and colors. A brief faster section, in the words of the composer, “describes that uncomfortable time when we are desperately trying to find ourselves.” The piece ends on a solemn yet reaffirming note, reminding us of the importance of guides and mentors along life's pathway. Duration: 5:00.

Belgium singer, actor, and composer Jacques Brel (1929-1978) wrote the music and lyrics for Ne me quitte pas (If You Go Away) in 1959. The song was later adapted with English lyrics by Rod McKuen, and the work is considered a pop standard with recordings by many artists. This orchestration was completed by Richard Hayman (1920-2014), who had a very successful career as chief music arranger for the Boston Pops Orchestra, an association that lasted over 50 years, and who also served as a pops conductor for various orchestras including the Detroit Symphony Orchestra, the St. Louis Symphony, and the Grand Rapids Symphony. Instrumentation: 2.2.2.2: Sax(4-SATB, opt.): 4.3.3.1: Timp.Perc(5): Hp.Gtr(opt.): Str (9-8-7-6-5 in set).

It can be hard to jingle all the way when the notes are all out of order! The familiar strains of Jingle Bells are put through the blender as Matt Conaway rearranges and reverses the tune until you're not quite sure it can be put back together. Great fun for your youngest bands!

Bohemian Rhapsody is undoubtedly one of the most important songs in the history of rock ‘n’ roll. The song defied all convention in terms of form. It has no chorus. Instead, it comprised of an introduction, ballad, guitar solo, operatic interlude, hard rock section and coda. Perhaps the most mystifying aspect of the song is the lyrics, which are commonly thought to be autobiographical, although members of the band have never fully explained them. Bring the house down with Philip Sparke’s authentic arrangement!

Bohemian Rhapsody wordt vaak gezien als het belangrijkste nummer uit de geschiedenis van de rockmuziek. Naast de nooit verklaarde raadselachtige tekst, was het vooral de ongewone vorm die tot op de dag van vandaag voor het grote succeszorgde. Het nummer kent geen refrein, maar bestaat uit vijf afzonderlijke delen: inleiding, ballad, gitaarsolo, hardrock en slot. Philip Sparke is met zijn arrangement zo dicht mogelijk bij het origineel gebleven. Grotesk!

Bohemian Rhapsody wird oft als der bedeutendste Song in der Geschichte des Rock bezeichnet. Neben dem nie erklärten rätselhaften Text trug vor allem die ungewöhnliche Form zum heute noch andauernden Erfolg des Liedes bei: Es hat keinen Refrain, sondern besteht aus den Abschnitten Einleitung, Ballade, Gitarrensolo, Hardrock und Schluss. Philip Sparke versuchte, in seiner Version von Bohemian Rhapsody so nahe wie möglich am Original zu bleiben.

Bohemian Rhapsody est souvent mentionné comme le titre le plus important dans l‘histoire du Rock. Écrite par Freddie Mercury, cette chanson défie toutes les normes jusque-l respectées. Elle se compose de six sections bien distinctes: introduction, ballade, solo de guitare, parties opéra et hard rock ainsi qu’un finale. L’arrangement pour orchestre d’harmonie de Philip Sparke reste conforme la version originale. Succès garanti!

Bohemian Rhapsody è spesso menzionato come il titolo più importante nella storia della musica rock. Scritta da Freddie Mercury, questa canzone sfida tutti i canoni fino a allora rispettati. Si compone di sei sezioni ben distinte: introduzione, ballata, assolo di chitarra, parti classiche e rock ed un finale. L’arrangiamento per banda di Philip Sparke è fedele all’originale.

Composed by Adam Gorb. Arranged by Michael Brand. Band Music. Score only. Duration 4:20. Published by G & M Brand Music Publishers (CN.S11242).

Scenes from an English Landscape is a brief nostalgic tone poem taking its inspiration from visions of rural England as depicted in the paintings of John Constable, the novels of Thomas Hard, and the music of Gustav Holst and Ralph Vaughan Williams. A chorale-like theme is stated in the brass and then taken up at three times the tempo in the woodwinds. At the end of the work, both versions of the theme are stated together to bring the piece to a triumphant climax.

This is a brief nostalgic tone poem taking its inspiration from visions of rural England as depicted in the paintings of John Constable, the novels of Thomas Hard, and the music of Gustav Holst and Ralph Vaughan Williams. I imagined a community of villagers coming out of church and filling a village square with their vibrant presence. A chorale-like theme is stated in the brass and then taken up at three times the tempo in the woodwinds. At the end o the work, both versions of the theme are stated together to bring the piece to a triumphant climax. Adam Gorb was born in Cardiff and started composing at the age of ten. His first work broadcast on national radio was written when he was fifteen. He studied at Cambridge University (1977-1980) and the Royal Academy of Music (1991-1993) where he graduated with the highest honours including the Principal's Prize. He has been on the staff at the London College of Music and Media, the junior Academy of the Royal Academy of Music and, since 2000 he has been the Head of School of Composition at the Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester . International recognition came in 1994 with the US Walter Beeler Prize for his work Metropolis . With it began what has developed into probably the most important wind ensemble catalogue by a contemporary composer, ranging from extremely challenging to the most accessible, at all technical levels, seized on by players internationally, widely recorded and now absolutely central to the world's wind repertoire. Equally important though are his works for dance, and concert pieces like the chamber orchestral Weimar , the Violin Sonata , a Clarinet Concerto for the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra and Diaspora for strings (for the Goldberg Ensemble). Deceptively mainstream at first glance, they display the same inventive brilliance, pulsating sound world, striking use of rhythm and an undogmatic absence of stylistic hang-ups to embrace jazz and serialism in works where power, poetry, irony and pathos, often underlaid by a theatrical and deeply subversive element, coalesce in an integrated, highly individual musical voice. Gorb is also not afraid to draw on the vivid musical heritage of his Jewish roots, sometimes directly, often in a more subsumed or radically creative way. The crucial and consistent feature of Gorb's work though is that it communicates strongly without patronizing players or audiences. He firmly believes that if contemporary music - any music - does not impact on listeners then its message is irrelevant; it is lost.

‘Mixed Bag’ stands midway between a collection and a hotchpotch. It is a colourful compilation of four completely different pieces, each with its own specific character.

The first part is called ‘Tanguillo’ : as its name suggests, this Spanish dance is related to the Tango.
In the next part, ‘Maybe next time ....’ a repeated bass line (Passacaglia) can be heard, first solo, but thereafter gradually the other instruments join in.
The third part forms a huge contrast did the former part have a Baroque atmosphere, ‘Rock Hard’ seems to have come directly from the Rock ‘n Roll era, reminding us of stars such as Bill Haley and Elvis Presley.
The finale is acheerful, inciting movement called ‘Gypsy Dance’.

Mixed Bag’ houdt het midden tussen collectie en ratjetoe. Het is een bonte verzameling van vier verschillende stukjes met ieder een heel eigen karakter.

Het eerste deel heet ‘Tanguillo’. Dit is een Spaanse dans, die zoalsde naam al doet vermoeden verwantschap vertoont met de Tango.
Daarna volgt ‘Maybe next time ....’. Dit deel bestaat uit een steeds herhalende baslijn (Passacaglia). De eerste keer solo, vervolgens komen de andere instrumentenerbij.
Het derde deel vormt een groot contrast. Ademde deel twee vooral een Baroksfeer uit, ‘Rock Hard’ komt rechtstreeks uit de Rock ‘n Roll tijd van Bill Haley en Elvis Presley.
De afsluiting is vrolijk en een tikkeltjeopzwepend: ‘Gypsy Dance’.
