‘Bella Ciao’ originated as an Italian folk song, stemming all the way from the late 19th century. Many versions have since appeared over the years, but the song now has a new lease of life owing to a new dance adaption as well as its feature as the theme for the Netflix series ‘La Casa de Papel’, which has inspired Bert van Haagen to create this dynamic arrangement for quartet.

‘Bella Ciao’ is van oorsprong een aansprekend Italiaans volksliedje uit het einde van de 19e eeuw waar in de loop der tijd vele versies van zijn gemaakt. Nu heeft het nieuw leven ingeblazen gekregen in een dancevariant én als themasong bij de Netflixserie La Casa de Papel. Naar aanleiding daarvan creëerde Bert van Haagen dit levendige arrangement voor blazerskwartet.

Im Laufe der Jahre sind zahlreiche Versionen erschienen, aber das Lied ist jetzt durch eine neue Tanzadaption und die Verwendung als Thema für die Netflix-Serie La casa de papel“ (Haus des Geldes“) wieder aufgelebt. Das hat Bert van Haagen dazu inspiriert, dieses neue dynamische Arrangement für Quartett zu schreiben.

Arachnophobia - fear of spiders - is the title of one of Maxime Aulio's first compositions for saxophone quartet (SATB). It is a simple musical amusement and a humorous allusion to the composer's fear of spiders. Come forth intrepid saxophone players!

Arachnophobie betekent: ‘Angst voor spinnen'...! Het is de welluidende titel van het nieuwe werk voor saxofoonkwartet van Maxime Aulios. Ook de afzonderlijke delen hebben natuurlijk toepasselijke titels. Zo passeren Spinnendans, Marsvan de vogelspin en Zwarte Weduwe allemaal de revue. Bang voor spinnen? Na het horen van dit prachtige werk vast niet meer!

Arachnophobie - Angst vor Spinnen - ist der klangvolle Titel einer von Maxime Aulios ersten Kompositionen für Saxophonquartett. Mit einem Augenzwinkern bezieht er sich darin auf seine eigene Angst vor Spinnen. Keine Angst vor diesem anspruchsvollen Werk sollten Saxophonisten haben: Die Mühe lohnt sich!

Arachnophobie, la phobie des araignées, est le titre d'une délicieuse composition en trois mouvements (Danse d'araignées - Marche de la mygale - Veuves noires) de Maxime Aulio, écrite pour quatuor de saxophones. N'ayez crainte, cette œuvre qui ne vous piquera pas, vaut la peine d'être jouée.

L'aracnofobia, ovvero la paura dei ragni, è il tema di questo brano per 4 sassofoni (SATB) di Maxime Aulio. Anche i titoli dei tre movimenti fanno riferimento ai ragni: La danza dei ragni, La marcia dei ragni, La vedova nera. Un brano esigente, ma che i sassofonisti non devono temere. Anzi, in concerto proporranno una musica nuova ed accattivante!

Three works with quotations from well-known composers are contained in this tongue-in-cheek collection. Otto M. Schwarz has produced an outstanding recording of these works with members of the Slovak Philharmonic, which is available on all streaming and download platforms. 1. THE AMADEUS WATCH: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's own watch - if he had one - ticks away. The ticking carries us back in time with a piece that stylistically imitates the music of the 18th century in melody, harmony and rhythm. 2. COMPOSERS DINNER IN HEAVEN: At the music publisher De Haske, a composers' dinner was an integral part of trade fairs or meetings. The dinner was very popular among anyone who sat at it, not least of all because it offered one the opportunity to chat informally. Based on such a meeting, Otto M. Schwarz has composed a work that describes an imaginary dinner of great classical masters on a cloud in the sky. Guess which composers are present by the references in the form of musical quotations and stylistic devices! 3. SCHERZO FOR WOOD QUARTET: The work, in 12/8 time, moves in a rapid furioso. Underscored by a continuous eighth note rhythm, the work creates in the listener the sensation of a frantic rollercoaster ride. The theme moves throughout all the parts, and following a chromatically moving chord sequence, ends in a dramatic crescendo.

Jolly Old Saint Nicholas is an American traditional carol by an anonymous composer. St. Nicholas is associated with a priest serving in Asia Minor who was consecrated as Archbishop in Myra, then was made a patron Saint of the Russian Orthodox Church. Legend has it that he was generous and kind to children and practiced gift giving in secrecy at night. This charming, gentle tune blends well with Pachelbel's Canon in D, and performers are urged not to take a beginning tempo too fast that would rush the coming eighth notes.

This arrangement for saxophone quartet (SATBar), rather than favoring a soprano solo with accompaniment, strives to include all the players in the music making, particularly by distributing melodic material. In addition, all dynamics and articulations should be taken as suggestions only, as performers are encouraged to make their own interpretations.

A composition in five movements that sound as if from a former age. They are in fact newly composed pieces but, stylistically speaking, are “historically accurate.” They can be performed separately or one after the other. The important thing is that the lead part at any point is given enough “space” in terms of dynamics and overall balance. Old music, newly composed, at times cheerful and at others solemn, which create the very special charm of this composition.
