Hayato Hirose composed this dramatic piece based on the great journey of Marco Polo, Italian traveller and one of the first Europeans ever to visit Asia. In the 13th century, he made a long journey from Venice to Mongolia with his father. After his arrival, he was sent to the various regions in Asia by the Mongolian government to take notes about the culture, the people, and the way of life in those areas. Celebrate the life of this great explorer with this dynamic new concert work.

Captain Marco is het eerste werk van Hayato Hirose voor blaasorkest. Hij componeerde het in 1998. Met dit dramatische werk smeedt de Japanse Hirose een muzikale band tussen Europa en Azië, waarbij de grote zeevaarder Marco Polo deverbindende factor is. Marco Polo was niet alleen een van de eerste grote ontdekkingsreizigers ooit, hij hield ook een logboek bij van zijn avonturen. In zijn tijd deed het letterlijk een boekje open over het verre Oosten. Nog steedsspreekt deze roemruchte kapitein tot de verbeelding. In ieder geval tot die van de componist, die er een mooie compositie aan wijdde�

Captain Marco ist Hayato Hiroses erstes Werk fu?r Blasorchester und wurde im Jahr 1998 komponiert. In diesem dramatischen Werk knu?pft der Japaner Hirose ein musikalisches Band zwischen Europa und Asien, indem er das Leben des beru?hmten Handelsreisenden Marco Polo vertont. Kapitän Marcoâ?? war nicht nur einer der ersten groÃ?en Seefahrer und Entdecker u?berhaupt, sondern er hinterlieÃ? auch seine Erfahrungen in einem Buch, das den Europäern damals das ferne Asien erklärte und offensichtlich auch heute noch sehr inspirierend ist.

Captain Marco est la première oeuvre pour orchestre dâ??harmonie dâ??Hayato Hirose, écrite en 1998. Le compositeur nous emmène sur les traces du célèbre aventurier et marchand vénitien, Marco Polo, qui fut lâ??un des premiers Européens se rendre en Extrême-Orient. Hayato Hirose nous livre une oeuvre expressive, intense et épique.

Captain Marco, composta nel 1998, è la prima opera per banda di Hayato Hirose. Un brano espressivo ed intenso, omaggio a colui che ancora oggi è considerato uno dei più grandi esploratori di tutti i tempi: Marco Polo.

Born in Bicester in 1931, Anthony Hedges studied music at Keble College, Oxford, and left university with a first class honours degree and a post-graduate degree in composition. Following National Service as solo pianist and arranger with the Royal Signals Band, he spent the next five years as a lecturer at the Royal Scottish Academy of music. During that time he was a regular contributor on music to many national newspapers and journals. In 1962 he moved to Hull University where, he became, until his retirement in 1995, Reader in Composition. In 1972 he was elected Chairman of The Composers' Guild of Great Britain, served as joint-Chairman in 1973 and was subsequently elected to the Guild's Council. He has been a member of the music panels of Yorkshire Arts and Lincolnshire and Humberside Arts, the Music Board of C.N.N.A., and a Council member of the S.P.N.M. A Council member of Westminster Central Music Library for 15 years, he instituted its publishing scheme for contemporary British scores. As a pianist he has given regular solo recitals, and as an accompanist has worked with many leading performers. In the late 1970s he founded the Humberside Sinfonia with whom he gave numerous successful concerts as well as recording a highly-praised LP of his music. Anthony Hedges is equally successful in many types of music. His serious music has received wide critical acclaim; his light music enjoys numerous broadcasts, recordings and public performances. He has also written much music for children and amateurs as well as having composed for film, stage, ballet and television. His works have been performed by many major British orchestras and heard worldwide in many hundreds of broadcast and public performances. In 1991 he was the featured composer in the Riga Festival of British Music and Film and was subsequently invited back to Latvia to conduct further performances of his works. A prolific composer, much of his output has resulted from commissions - over 60 to date*. In 1990 Hull Central Library established an Archive collection of all his compositions and working sketches. A CD of his light orchestral music was issued in 1997 (Naxos/Marco Polo) and many CD recordings have followed on various labels. In the same year he was awarded an honorary D.Mus. by the University of Hull
