By Lantern's Light is a medley of Persian folk songs. The songs come from a collection for voice and piano by Clair Fairchild in his Twelve Persian Folk Songs published by Novello and Company, London, 1904. Fairchild's goal was to capture the spirit and ambiance of Persia's music and musicians. Fairchild took special care to preserve their authenticity by limiting western harmony. Such is also the case in this setting for concert band. Special attention should be given to replicate songlike phrasing of the melodic lines and the rhythmic integrity and style of the accompaniment. Conductors are encouraged to take liberties with dynamics and articulations to help performers play expressively. There are many inflections that exist beyond what is printed on the page. For example, the reeds might subtly shape the rhythmic accompaniment in m. 6-7, as might the trumpets with the melody in m. 18. In. m. 23, the wind musicians other than the trumpets are a part of the rhythm section with the percussion. These rhythms should fit together nicely to create a steady cadence. The melodic statements beginning at m. 35 should be carefully balanced to speak evenly throughout the various voices. If an oboist is not available, the solo in m. 57 has been cued in the alto saxophone.

Arranged by Roland Kernen. De Haske Pop Collection. Pop & Rock. Score Only. Composed 2004. De Haske Publications #DHP 1043587-140. Published by De Haske Publications (BT.DHP-1043587-140).

Legend has it that Edith Piaf, one of the greatest stars of the French music scene, was born under a lamp post in the streets of Paris and spent much of her lonely childhood roaming the streets, singing here and there in front of a fascinated audience. Out of the poor streets developed a singer who was to become the darling of French cabaret. A Tribute to Edith Piaf is a wonderful arrangement for concert band of four of the most well known songs of this romantic, spontaneous, desperate and everlasting legend.

Naar verluidt werd een van de grootste sterren uit de Franse muziekwereld onder een lantaarnpaal in de Parijse rue de Belleville geboren. Na een eenzame jeugd, waarin ze veel over straat zwierf en voor mensen zong, werd Edith Gassionontdekt door Louis Leplée. Van hem kreeg ze haar bijnaam, La môme Piaf (de kleine mus). A Tribute to Edith Piaf is een prachtig arrangement voor harmonieorkest van Roland Kernen. Het omvat vier van de bekendste chansonsvan deze tegelijkertijd romantische, spontane, wanhopige en onsterfelijke legende: Milord, Hymne l’Amour, Mon Manège Moi en La Vie en Rose.

Die Legende um Edith Piaf, den Spatz von Paris“ besagt, dass sie aus ärmsten Verhältnissen kam und ihre Karriere auf der Straße begann. Aus der armen Straßensängerin wurde die wohl berühmteste Chansonsängerin aller Zeiten. A Tribute to Edith Piaf ist ein wundervolles Medley für Blasorchester von Roland Kernen aus vier der bekanntesten Lieder dieser unsterblichen Legende.

Le 19 décembre 1915, Paris a vu naître sous un lampadaire de la rue de Belleville (si l’on en croit la légende), une étoile de la chanson française. Enfant délaissée, Edith Gassion sillonne seule les quartiers de Paris, en chantant ici et l devant un public fasciné, avant d’être remarquée par Louis Leplée qui l’accueille de son cabaret et qui pose sur cette voix unique un nom voué l’immortalité, la môme Piaf (FAM. moineau), symbole de la fragilité physique du personnage. Mais du haut de ses 1,47 m, elle séduit le Tout-Paris de l’entre-deux guerres puis cristallise autour d’elle le public international. La môme Piaf devient alors définitivement Edith Piaf, lacoqueluche des intellectuels, l’amie des grands chansonniers tels que Maurice Chevalier, Mistinguett, Lucienne Delisle et André Claveau. Artiste célébrée dans le monde entier, femme tourmentée et déchirée, Edith Piaf cessera de chanter le 11 octobre 1963.Avec A Tribute to Edith Piaf (“Hommage Edith Piaf”), Roland Kernen signe un superbe arrangement pour Orchestre d’Harmonie de quatre des plus célèbres chansons de cette légende immortelle, romantique, spontanée et désespérée : Milord, Hymne l’Amour, Mon Manège Moi et La Vie en Rose.
