Imagine a horse-drawn sleigh coasting leisurely through the park with blanket-coated passengers in tow. This music features a bright melody, a sparkly glockenspiel part, and jingle bells to mimic the sound of the sleigh.

Composed by John Emerson Blackstone. Score Only. 16 pages. Gobelin Music Publications #GOB 000514-120. Published by Gobelin Music Publications (BT.GOB-000514-120).

‘Music’ by John Miles was one of Blackstone’s favourite numbers.
With completely different notes, but holding on to the same form and atmosphere the latter has tried to write an attractive composition for both young and old.
Gate 11 refers to the ever agitated and noisy scenes at an airport, especially during check-in. Yet there are also passengers who wait patiently, letting their thoughts range at will, looking forward to meeting a loved one at the end of their journey.

‘Music’ van John Miles was een favoriet nummer van Blackstone.
Met totaal andere noten maar in dezelfde vorm en sfeer heeft hij getracht een aantrekkelijke compositie te schrijven voor jong en oud.
Gate 11 refereert aan dealtijd weer gejaagde en luidruchtige taferelen op een luchthaven en dan vooral bij het inchecken. Toch zijn er ook andere passagiers die geduldig wachten en in stilte wegdromen en uitkijken naar de ontmoeting met een geliefde aanhet einde van de reis.

Gate 11 is a piece by John Emerson, inspired by the mood of a bustling airport in which passengers dream quietly of the loved ones that await at the end of their journey. Equally accessible to young and old alike, Gate 11 is an atmospheric piece ideal for concert performance.

Music van John Miles was een favoriet nummer van Blackstone. Met totaal andere noten maar in dezelfde vorm sfeer schreef de componist zelf Gate 11. De compositie refereert aan de altijd weer gejaagde en luidruchtige taferelen op een luchthaven en dan vooral bij het inchecken. Toch zijn er ook andere passagiers die geduldig wachten en in stilte wegdromen… Al uitkijkend naar de ontmoeting met een langverwachte geliefde... Gate 11: afwisselend om te spelen en prachtig om naar te luisteren!

Mit völlig anderen Noten, aber derselben Form wie sein Lieblingslied Music von John Miles schreib John Emerson Blackstone dieses attraktive Werk für Jung und Alt. Der Titel Gate 11 ist ein Verweis auf die Atmosphäre an einem Flughafen, wo einerseits Hektik herrscht, es andererseits aber auch Menschen gibt, die still vor sich hin träumen von geliebten Menschen, die am Ende ihrer Reise auf sie warten.

Music de John Miles était l’un des tubes préférés de John Emerson Blackstone. Avec des lignes mélodiques différentes mais en conservant la même structure afin de recréer une atmosphère identique, il composa Gate 11. Cette œuvre se réfère des scènes presque toujours bruyantes dans un aéroport, en particulier lors de l’enregistrement. Ces moments de grande agitation cèdent cependant leur place des motifs plus doux, incitant la rêverie. Une invitation au voyage ne pas décliner !

John Emerson Blacksone ha scritto questo piacevole brano con note diverse, ma con la stessa forma della sua canzone preferita, Music di John Miles. Il titolo, Gate 11, riporta all’atmosfera in un aeroporto, dove storie e destini si intrecciano in un’atmosfera frenetica ma capace anche di dare spazio a momenti più rilassati, che invitano a sognare. Un invito a viaggiare che non si può rifiutare!

Concert Band/Harmonie - Grade 5

SKU: BT.GOB-000447-010

Composed by Carl Wittrock. Set (Score & Parts). 174 pages. Gobelin Music Publications #GOB 000447-010. Published by Gobelin Music Publications (BT.GOB-000447-010).

In Scotland, the monster of Loch Ness is a hot issue, but the American state of Montana enjoys a comparable phenomenon going by the name of Montana Nessie.
In the western part of this remote state lies Flathead Lake: a lake of 45 kilometres /38miles in lenght and 24 kilometres /15 miles breath. At several places, its depth exeeds 100 metres.
Nessies discovery takes us back to the year 1889, when captain James Kerr aboard the passengership U.S.Grant was startled by a ship unknown to himsuddenly approaching his vessel across Flathead Lake.
However, it turned out not to be a ship but an undefinable animal of immense size.From that moment onwards, life would never be the same again in and around Flathead Lake.
The composer wasinspired by the story, and summarized the events into a symphonic poem, but from a surprising angle:that of the monster.

The exiting opening allows us to follow the monster in its natural surroundings.
The fast follow-up movement depictsMontana Nessie trotting and frolicking about the Montana woods and prairies.From its abode, it thorougly enjoys everything around it. This period abruptly ends in a short climax (Chimes).
The solo for cor anglais marks a new period in themonsters life.The presence of people has a paralizing effect and the apprehensive atmosphere of the slow movement may be felt profoundly.
The monster observes and mildly teases the ship. Abhor sounds force the ship to a withdrawal.
The movingmusical continuation depicts the triumphant monster dancing an ironic waltz.
The monsters fear and anger at the intrusion of his freedom run through the piece like continuous threads, and develop into the works final theme.

Ook Amerika kent, in navolging van Loch Ness, haar monster met alle sterke verhalen eromheen. Dit Amerikaanse monster werd in 1889 voor het eerst gezien door de kapitein van een toeristenboot, varende op Flathead Lake in de staat Montana.
Wittrock schildert niet enkel de gebeurtenissen maar kruipt in de huid van het monster.

Het programmatische werk beschrijft op vaak ontroerende en soms angstaanjagende wijze het leven van Montana Nessie.
Aanknopingspunten in dit werk zijnde geboorte (het begin), de eerste levensfase met oerkreten (allegro) en de verwondering en bewondering van de natuur (hobosolo).
Het tweede gedeelte symboliseert de spanning tussen mens en monster tijdens de spannende boottocht op FlatheadLake.
Het derde deel brengt het monster aan het dansen in een aandoenlijke wals vol ironie en zelfspot. Rode draad en afsluitend thema is de angst en boosheid van Montana Nessie op de vrijheidsinbreuk.
Een meesterwerk!
