Funk is a very rhythmic music style that finds its origin in the 1960s. The American artist James Brown and the New Orleans-based group The Meters are considered the founders of this genre. Funk is characterized by an independentbass line that emphasizes each first beat of the bar (the one), as well as by a rhythmic combination of syncopated melodies and accompaniments with lots of harmonic additions. This style-conscious composition by Peter KleineSchaars contains a healthy blend of the harmonic ingredients as well as the rhythmic challenges of funk music. On the one hand, New Orleans Funk is an educational exercise with the rhythmic cells 9,10, 14, 15 and 16: on the otherhand, it is a funky highlight of your rehearsal or concert!

Funk is een sterk ritmische muziekstijl die in de jaren zestig van de vorige eeuw is ontstaan. De Amerikaanse muzikant James Brown en de uit New Orleans afkomstige groep The Meters worden beschouwd als de grondleggers van ditgenre. Naast een zelfstandige baslijn die elke eerste tel van de maat (the one) stevig benadrukt, wordt funk gekenmerkt door een ritmisch samenspel tussen syncopische melodieën en begeleidingen met veel harmonische toevoegingen.Deze stijlbewuste compositie van Peter Kleine Schaars bevat zowel de harmonische ingrediënten als de ritmische uitdagingen die erbij horen. Enerzijds is New Orleans Funk een pedagogische oefening met de ritmische cellen 9,10, 14,15 en 16, anderzijds is het werk een funky hoogtepunt van uw repetitie of concert!

Funk ist ein sehr rhythmischer Musikstil, der seinen Ursprung in den 1960er Jahren hatte. Der amerikanische Künstler James Brown und die aus New Orleans stammende Band The Meters gelten als die Begründer dieses Genres. Funkzeichnet sich durch eine unabhängige Basslinie aus, die jeden ersten Taktschlag (the one“) betont, sowie durch eine rhythmische Kombination von synkopierten Melodien und Begleitungen mit zahlreichen harmonischen Ergänzungen.Diese stilkonforme Komposition von Peter Kleine Schaars enthält eine gute Mischung aus harmonischen Zutaten sowie rhythmischen Herausforderungen der Funkmusik. Einerseits ist New Orleans Funk ein pädagogisches Übungsstück aus denRhythmus-Einheiten 9, 10, 14, 15 und 16, andererseits ist es auch ein funkiges Highlight für Proben oder Konzerte!

Né dans les années 1960, le funk est un style musical très rythmé. Le chanteur américain James Brown et un groupe de la Nouvelle-Orléans, The Meters, sont considérés comme les fondateurs de ce genre. Le funk se caractérise par uneligne de basse indépendante qui souligne le premier temps de la mesure, ainsi que par une combinaison rythmique de mélodies syncopées et d’accompagnements chargés d’adjonctions harmoniques. Adoptant pleinement ce style, lacomposition de Peter Kleine Shaars est l’heureuse fusion des ingrédients harmoniques, mais aussi des difficultés de la musique funk. D'une part, les cellules rythmiques 9, 10, 14, 15 et 16 font de New Orleans Funk un exercicepédagogique : d’autre part, cette pièce apportera une belle ambiance funky vos répétitions et vos concerts !

Bleak Forest is a piece for smaller concert bands and offers the musicians above all space to improve their sound and their effect playing. The technical requirements are therefore deliberately kept low. With this piece, the composer won the VLAMO International Composition Contest 2022. Thematically, the work is influenced by the composer's childhood memories. In his hometown there was a dark and mysterious forest, that seemed to the children in the small village to be magical. Without a reasonable explanation, every trip into the woods was exciting and somewhat terrifying. There were tales of dangerous animals, which can be heard at the beginning of the piece, as well as magical beasts. The magic of the forest is depicted musically from bar 70 in the andante section. The snapping of the fingers represents single raindrops. From bar 99 onwards, we hear the trek home, with the occasional moments of trepidation as the children spook each other with their fanciful tales. In the end, though, we arrive safely at home because after all, magical beasts only exist in fairy tales don’t they? Andreas Ziegelbäck studied music education at the Mozarteum University in Salzburg, and history at the Paris Lodron Universität, Salzburg. In addition to his studies, he trained in ensemble conducting for wind orchestra with conductor and composer Thomas Doss. It was Doss who sparked Ziegelbäck's interest in composing. In 2021, Andreas Ziegelbäck completed his composition studies with Johannes Maria Staud. In 2020, he took part in a brass band composition masterclass in Bern with Oliver Waespi, followed by a premiere by the Swiss Army Brass Band.

Named after the leaf displayed on Canada’s flag, Maple Leaf Overture was composed specifically to open a Canadian school’s symphonic band tour of England. A short fanfare during the overture smoothly transitions to a jazzy, syncopated section. The main theme is first played by the horns and saxophones, and then by the entire ensemble. This lively theme then alternates with a slower second theme, building momentum before a brisk coda culminates in a rousing finale!

Maple Leaf Overture gaat natuurlijk over het bekendste herkenningsteken van Canada: het blad van de esdoorn, in de vlag. Sparke componeerde dit openingswerk speciaal voor een Canadees schoolorkest uit Calgary, voor hun tour door Groot-Brittannië.Een korte fanfare gaat in deze ouverture naadloos over in een jazzachtig, syncopisch vivo. Eerst nemen de hoorns en saxofoons het hoofdthema voor hun rekening. Daarna speelt het hele orkest dit thema. Spanning ontstaatwanneer het snelle hoofdthema een langzaam tweede deel afwisselt. Daarna keert het snelle hoofdthema weer terug. Een snel coda beëindigt de ouverture. Maple Leaf Overture: feestelijk en sprankelend!

Maple Leaf Overture trägt das kanadische Wahrzeichen, das Ahornblatt im Titel. Eine kurze Fanfare geht in dieser Ouvertüre nahtlos in eine jazzig synkopiertes Vivo über. Das Hauptthema dürfen erst die Hörner und Saxophone vorstellen, dann spielt das gesamte Blasorchester. Es entsteht Spannung durch den Wechsel zwischen dem schnellen Hauptthema, einem langsameren zweiten Thema und zurück, bevor eine schnellere Coda das Werk beendet.

Maple Leaf Overture porte l’emblème du Canada (la feuille d’érable) jusque dans son titre… Ce morceau, composé par Philip Sparke, a été joué par l’Orchestre Symphonique du Lycée de Calgary dans le cadre de sa tournée en Angleterre. La pièce s’ouvre avec une fanfare maestoso, puis un passage en tempo vivo introduit peu peu des rythmes syncopés de style jazzy. Un motif plus doux nous conduira progressivement vers un apogée où le thème central réapparaît. Le morceau se termine par une brève référence la fanfare d’ouverture, suivie d’une rapide coda.

Maple Leaf Overture, il cui titolo riporta all’emblema della bandiera canadese (la foglia di acero), è un brano commissionato a Philip Sparke dall’Orchestra Sinfonica di un liceo di Calgary che l’ha eseguita in occasione di una serie di concerti tenutisi in Inghilterra. Il brano apre con una fanfara maestosa che alterna fraseggi affidati alle varie sezioni della banda. Questa successione omogenea in un tempo vivo introduce progressivamente ritmi sincopati in stile jazz. Un tema principale, all’inizio eseguito dai corni e dai sassofoni, sar in seguito ripreso da tutto l’organico. Segue un motivo più dolce che si intercala progressivamente verso un’apoteosi nella qualeviene riproposto il tema principale. Il brano si conclude con un breve richiamo alla fanfara di apertura, seguita da una rapida coda.
