This opening piece, whoâ??s title is a mixture of the words â??psalmâ?? and â??Intradaâ?? is both festive as well as solemn. It was based upon the music of Psalm 149.

Psaltrada is een openingswerk dat zijn titel ontleend aan een combinatie van de woorden â??psalmâ?? en â??intradaâ??. Het is zowel feestelijk als ook plechtig van karakter en is gebaseerd op de muziek van Psalm 149.

Der Titel dieses Werkes verrät, wie es entstanden ist: Jan de Haan nahm die Vertonung von Psalm 149 aus dem Genfer Psalter von 1562 und schuf aus dieser schlichten, schönen Melodie ein prachtvolles, lebendiges Eröffnungswerk für Blasorchester. So wurde aus einem Psalm und einer Intrada also eine Psaltradaâ??, mit der Sie Ihr nächstes Konzert glanzvoll beginnen können!

Ce morceau dâ??ouverture, dont le titre est un mélange entre les mots psaume et Intrada, est festif et solennel. Il est basé sur la musique du psaume 149.

Il titolo di questo brano ci svela come è stato composto: Jan de Haan ha ripreso la struttura del salmo 149 dal Geneva Psalter del 1562, creando da questa semplice e splendida melodia un glorioso e vivace brano di apertura. Quindi, da un salmo e un preludio (intrada) nasce una Psaltrada, ideale per iniziare il vostro concerto.

Fanfare Band - Grade 2

SKU: BT.DHP-0960785-020

Composed by Jan Van der Roost. Performance Series. Festive and Solemn Music. Set (Score & Parts). Composed 1996. De Haske Publications #DHP 0960785-020. Published by De Haske Publications (BT.DHP-0960785-020).

Jan Van der Roost was commissioned to write this hymn by the “International Association for Human Rights” in Frankfurt. The commission specified that the instrumentation of this simple hymn should be so, that it can be performed by a variety of combinations of players. The piece starts with an “intrada” for brass ensemble based on the first bars of the hymn, but is “ad libitum” and can therefore be omitted. The coda can also be left out, depending on the available instrumentation. The piece should be played “legato” to accentuate its hymn-like character.
