One of the numerous short piano pieces for children that Béla Bartók completed in a four-volume piano collection in 1909. This arrangement for early band students remains faithful to Bartók's intent while comfortably accommodating the skills for first year players. Light and whimsical, you can hear the playful nature of The Fox in this solid scoring for your beginners. (1:45).

Requiem. Composed by Franz von Suppe. Missa Pro Defunctis (Requiem). Sacred vocal music, Requiem. Set of Orchestra Parts. Composed 1855. Duration 70 minutes. Carus Verlag #CV 40.085/19. Published by Carus Verlag (CA.4008519).

ISBN 9790007134501. Language: Latin.

Franz Suppe wrote his Requiem not as a humanistic or pantheistic lament for the dead, but as a work created on the basis of firm Christian and Catholic faith. The fact that Suppe succeeded in writing a Requiem which remains within the theological-liturgical bounds without sacrificing the values of an autonomous work of art is perhaps the greatest - although hitherto unrecognized- achievement of this work. Score and parts available separately - see item CA.4008500.

Composed by Henry Purcell. Arranged by Jan de Haan. Your Favorite Classics. Opening Pieces. Score Only. Composed 1987. De Haske Publications #DHP 0870078-216. Published by De Haske Publications (BT.DHP-0870078-216).

Purcell composed this brilliant theme as incidental music for his work Abdelazar (1693). Three centuries later Benjamin Britten used it in his symphonic work The Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra (with the subtitle Variation and Fugue on a theme of Purcell) and it became famous. This arrangement by Jan de Haan remains faithful to Britten’s intentions featuring the different tembres of the instruments. Rondo entrances the listener with its varied tone colours and its solemn grandeur.

Das Rondo aus dem Stück Abdelazer oder die Rache des Mohren ist eines der bekanntesten Stücke von Purcell - nicht zuletzt, weil Benjamin Britten es für seinen berühmten Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra verwendete. Dank Jan de Haans Bearbeitung für Blasorchester können nun auch Blasorchester jeder Altersgruppe das Rondo zu feierlichen Anlässen erklingen lassen.

Composed by Marc Antoine Charpentier. Edited by Shirley Thompson. For four voices, two treble instruments and continuo. Full score. Published by Edition HH Music Publishers

Cantata for the 10th Sunday after Trinity. Composed by Johann Sebastian Bach. Edited by Reinhold Kubik. Arranged by Paul Horn. German title: Herr, deine Augen sehen nach dem Glaube. Sacred vocal music, Cantatas. Set of Orchestra Parts. Composed 1726. BWV 102. Duration 24 minutes. Carus Verlag #CV 31.102/19. Published by Carus Verlag (CA.3110219).

In 1726 Johann Sebastian Bach performed a series of cantatas by his Meiningen cousin Johann Ludwig, then continued this series with his own works, but remained faithful to the textual models used his cousin: a Meiningen cycle of texts by an unknown author from the early 18th century. All these texts share the characteristic of including two quotations from the bible: one from the Old Testament at the beginning, and another from the New Testament in the middle. These cantatas include Herr, deine Augen sehen nach dem Glauben BWV 102. The opening chorus in several sections is one of Bach's masterpieces of choral composition. The cantata is also one of those works on which Bach's later reputation was based: performances are documented from 1776 in Hamburg and in Berlin by Zelter's Sing-Akademie from 1813 onwards. In 1830 it was one of the very first cantatas by Bach to appear in print. Score and parts available separately - see item CA.3110200.

Composed by Georges Bizet. The Great Classics. Set (Score & Parts). Composed 2001. De Haske Publications #DHP 1012709-010. Published by De Haske Publications (BT.DHP-1012709-010).

Carmen is the best known work by the French composer Georges Bizet (1838-1875). Criticised by the French public at the time of its creation because its plot was deemed indecent, the opera nevertheless came to be considered as a major work due to its captivating melodies, Spanish character and energetic rhythms. In this brilliant transcription for concert band Tohru Takahasi has remained faithful to the sparkling, joyful atmosphere of the scenes from the opera.

Ook buiten de theatrale context heeft de operamuziek van Bizet een beeldende kracht. Tohru Takahahsi’s bewerking van de Carmen Suite doet recht aan de dramatiek en grandeur van het origineel.

Carmen ist wohl das berühmteste und meistgespielte Werk des Musiktheaters. Auch außerhalb des Theaterkontexts mangelt es der Musik von Georges Bizet nicht an Ausdruckskraft und Dramatik. Nach dem Tode des Komponisten wurden einige Passagen der Oper für die Carmen Suite exzerpiert, die mit dieser Bearbeitung von Tohru Takahashi, die der Dramatik und Größe des Originals vollkommen gerecht wird, nun auch für Blasorchester zugänglich ist.

Carmen est l’œuvre la plus célèbre du compositeur français Georges Bizet (1838-1875). Cette brillante transcription reste fidèle l’atmosphère pétillante et vive des scènes de l’opéra.
