This little concerto for clarinet was written for Peter Holligan , a friend of its composer, and the Fife Youth Concert Band (Scotland).

The work was based on traditional Celtic music, and consists of three movements.
1. Reel - a fast dance ending in an atmospheric but virtuoso cadenza.
2. Lament - a slow and melancholy song hinting at the sound of bagpipes.
3. A fast and virtuoso dance in 6/8 time with Irish influence.

The work is a wonderful audience-pleaser and an absolute 'must' for all clarinet-players.
The band too is called upon and by all means does have its part to play in the piece.
Band grade 4, soloist grade 5. Dit Concertino voorklarinet werd geschreven voor Peter Holligan , een vriend van de componist, en de Fife Youth Concert Band (Schotland).

Inspired by the music of Scotland, this stellar original opens with a strathsprey, written in a bold and majestic manner. A brief transition introduces the beautiful Scottish carol Christ Child's Lullaby, before a percussion interlude gives a nod to the music of the traditional Scottish military tattoo. The work culminates in an energetic cut-time reel, which brings the piece to a rousing conclusion. Incredible writing!

Freedom's Sword tells the tale of battle and reconciliation between two lands, deriving themes from the well-known Scottish song Ca' the yowes. Horn calls and pounding drums set the tone for the battle scenes while a dreamy alto saxophone solo creates an air of optimism.

This work was originally commissioned by Nigel Boddice for the West Lothian Schools Brass Band to play at the European Youth Brass Band Championships in 1997 entitled Devolution to celebrate the setting up of the new Scottish Parliament. It appears in this revised version for Concert Band with the title Freedom's Sword. The opening section recalls days gone by when the Scots and English fought many a battle. The themes are derived from the well-known haunting song Ca' the yowes. The horn calls and off-stage percussion sound of a distant battle and it gradually comes closer. The centre section creates a mood of reconciliation with a dreamy Alto Saxophone solo. The last section now looks ahead with optimism and various bright dance themes appear based on traditional Scottish reel tunes, one of which is a two-part vocal scat section The piece then heads for its conclusion including a full statement of the main theme.

Das Adagio, so wie es heute weithin bekannt ist, hat eine interessante Geschichte: Es wurde erst im 20. Jahrhundert von einem Musikwissenschaftler aus einem Manuskript Albinonis, welches lediglich Teile einer Melodie enthielt, rekonstruiert. Dennoch ist es gerade das Adagio, das Albinoni in der heutigen Musikwelt beruhmt gemacht hat und dessen Wirkung sich auch in diesem gefuhlvollen Arrangement von Jacob de Haan niemand entziehen kann.

Tomaso Albinoni (1671-1751) est ne a Venise. Il est le fils aine d'un riche marchand. Des son plus jeune age, il developpe un reel talent pour le chant et surtout pour le violon, et se met rapidement a composer. Albinoni a vecu et travaille toute sa vie durant a Venise, mais a egalement sejourne a Florence et a Munich.Dans sa jeunesse, Albinoni compose de la musique sacree mais sans grand succes. En 1694, il attire l'attention du public venitien lors de la representation de son premier opera Zenobia, Regina de Palmireni (Zenobia, reine de Palmireni). Ses premieres œuvres de musique instrumentale datent de la meme annee. Par la suite, Albinoni se consacre surtout a lacomposition d'œuvres vocales (operas et cantates) et instrumentales (sonates et concertos).C'est en travaillant sur la biographie d'Albinoni, au sortir de la Deuxieme Guerre mondiale, que le musicologue milanais, Remo Giazotto, decouvre a la Bibliotheque Nationale de Dresde, un manuscrit inedit, sur lequel est base le celebre Adagio. Il semblerait que les six mesures de la melodie et la ligne de basse retrouvees aient constitue un passage d'un mouvement lent d'une sonate a trois. Vers 1945, en partant de ces elements, Remo Giazotto reconstitue une œuvre, celebre de nos jours, comme l'Adagio d'Albinoni, alors qu'Albinoni lui-meme ne serait probablement plus en mesure de reconnaitre sa piece.

The third movement of Opus 34 (Three Festival Choruses), which Gustav Holst penned in 1916, was originally scored for chorus with piano, orchestra, or military band. The easily recognized melody is a nineteenth century Welsh ballad, known to most as the hymn tune St. Denio, set to the words of English poet, Clifford Bax. In 3/4, this characteristically delightful Holst theme has been freely arranged to incorporate elements of his original score with additional material included to heighten musical interest for contemporary concert bands and audiences alike. As the title implies, chimes are an integral part of this arrangement; however, there are alternate options provided in the program notes if a suitable instrument is unavailable. This musical setting is complete with a variety of teaching and performance opportunities and a perfect fit for beginning concert bands. (2:00).

Based on an old Highland dance tune, Carron's Reel, also known as Gentry Libby. The dance tune and an original tune are played over a bagpipe effect with regimental drums, first approaching, and then passing into the distace. Wonderful!
