Spring by Henri Tomassi is a wind sextet for Flute, Oboe, Bb Clarinet, Alto Saxophone, Horn and Bassoon. This book includes the score for each instrument and the conductor?s score. Lasting 9 and a half minutes, this melodious piece is divided into three main parts and finishes on a Scherzando section. These three pieces musically describe the flirting process of birds in Spring. 1. Reveil des oiseaux / Birds wake up 2. Chant d?amour / Love song 3. Danse des oiseaux / Dance of the birds This piece is very difficult to play for all instruments involved, but simultaneously really nice and challenging. Henri Tomasi also composed a variety of concerti for Alto Saxophone and for Trombone, as well as some ballades..

This work was composed as a commission by the Keika Gakuen Symphonic Band, to commemorate their 40th annual concert. The composition is a march-style work that begins with a chorale based on a theme from the school song—a distinctive motif that reappears in the middle section. Tetsuya Kashino, a graduate of the high school, is a band coach and has a deep friendship with the composer. Kashino named the work Scent of Spring, which reflects two distinct meanings—firstly, in Japanese, a part of the band’s own name, and also “a premiere in Spring”. Scent of Spring is a bright and optimistic piece of music, suitable to perform on various occasions.

Dit werk is geschreven in opdracht van de Keika Gakuen Symphonic Band, een schoolorkest uit Tokio, ter gelegenheid van hun veertigste jaarconcert. Deze in marsstijl geschreven compositie begint met een op een thema uit het schoollied gebaseerd koraal: een motief dat nog eens opduikt in het middengedeelte. Tetsuya Kashino, een orkestleider die zelf ook op de betreffende school heeft gezeten, is nauw bevriend met de componist: hij heeft het werk Scent of Spring gedoopt, met in zijn achterhoofd twee betekenissen: ten eerste komt deze titel in het Japans deels overeen met de orkestnaam, ook verwijst de titel naar ‘een première in de lente’. Scent of Spring iseen opgewekt, optimistisch werk dat geschikt is voor diverse gelegenheden.

Dieses Werk wurde von der Keika Gakuen Symphonic Band anlässlich des 40-jährigen Konzertjubiläums in Auftrag gegeben. Das Werk wurde im Marschstil komponiert und beginnt mit einem Choral, der auf einem Thema des Schulliedes basiert ein charakteristisches Motiv, das im Mittelteil wieder aufgenommen wird. Tetsuya Kashino, ein Absolvent der Highschool, ist Orchesterleiter und eng mit dem Komponisten befreundet. Kashino gab dem Werk den Titel Scent of Spring“, was zwei verschiedene Bedeutungen zum Ausdruck bringt: einerseits ist es ein Teil des Orchesternamens auf Japanisch, andererseits bedeutet es eine Premiere im Frühling“. Scent of Spring ist ein fröhliches undoptimistisches Musikstück, das sich für alle möglichen Gelegenheiten eignet.

Cette œuvre a été composée en commande du Keika Gakuen Symphonic Band pour célébrer son 40e concert annuel. Cette composition dans un style de marche commence par un choral basé sur un thème de l’hymne de l’école, qui est un motif distinctif et réapparaît dans la section du milieu. Tetsuya Kashino, diplômé de l’école secondaire, et répétiteur de la formation et très bon ami du compositeur. Il a donné le titre de Scent of Spring (« parfum de printemps ») l’œuvre, ce qui a deux sens différents : d’abord, une partie du nom de la formation en japonais, mais aussi une allusion sa première qui eut lieu au printemps. Scent of Spring est une pièce de musique vive etoptimiste qui convient chaque occasion.

Questo lavoro è stato commissionato dalla Keika Gakuen Symphonic Band, per commemorare con un concerto il loro 40esimo anniversario. La composizione ha lo stile di una marcia che comincia con una corale basata su un tema della canzone della scuola - un tema distintivo che riappare anche nella sezione di mezzo. Tetsuya Kashino, insegnante della Banda e legato da profonda amicizia col compositore, ha voluto intitolare la composizione Scent of Spring, nome che riflette due significati distinti - in primo luogo, in giapponese, una parte del nome proprio della banda, ma anche col significato di una prima in primavera. Scent of Spring è un brano musicale brillante eottimista, adatto per essere eseguito in diverse occasioni.

The violin concerto is commissioned by Friends of Dresden Music Foundation for American soloist Mira Wang and the New York Philharmonic and Staatskapelle Dresden as an American commemoration of the reconstruction of the Dresden Frauenkirche, 60 years after its destruction in World War II by American and British Forces. The world premiere is given at the Semperoper in Dresden, Germany, on October 9, 10 & 11, 2005, conducted by Ivan Fischer. Full of excitement and inner power, the musical image is vivid, energetic, sometimes lyrical and sometimes dramatic. The major angular thematic material (a three note motive) consists of big leaps in interval (a perfect fourth downward and then a minor seventh upward, first introduced by the violin solo in measures 27-29). Except for the cadenzas which stand at the middle (Rehearsal E, measure 127) and the two ends of the piece as a frame, the virtuosic violin solo line is always accompanied by the ever moving and growing textures in the background. The rests between long and short phrases symbolize the space in Chinese paintings. The Beijing Opera reciting tune, and the fingerings to produce sliding tones in the performance of the Chinese fiddle erhu are also borrowed in the writing and the performing of the western instruments. The musical imagination of the violin concerto came from an ancient Chinese poem with the same title, written by Du Fu (712-770) in Tang Dynasty. Happy Rain on a Spring Night by Du Fu (712-770 in Tang Dynasty) Happy rain comes in time, When spring is in its prime. With night breeze it will fall, And quietly moisten all. Clouds darken wild roads, Light brightens a little boat. Saturated at dawn, With flowers blooming the town. (English translation by Chen Yi from the original poem in Chinese) The following is the poem in its original Chinese form, and the detailed introduction on the structural plan of the violin concerto Spring in Dresden. It's like the welcome rain on a quiet spring night that nurtures the budding seeds, our new society is pushing us forward to the new future. The music reflects the scenes and the expression according to the meaning of the poem when it's being unfolded line by line. Although the tempo is set 63 quarter notes per minute throughout (played vividly, never slow down), the tension is being built up from the quiet background in the beginning, to the sustained climax towards the end. The musical image in Rehearsal A and B (measures 39-80) represents the first four lines of the poem. The wind instruments response to the rustling of fast moving notes on muted string triplets, decorated by occasional strokes produced by metallic string sound and high woodwind gestures. The music in Rehearsal C and D (measures 81-126) represents the next two lines of the poem. It's so dark, a little light in the boat is shimmering on the lake... The breathy sound and key slaps on the flutes create a mysterious atmosphere, in a dialogue with other instruments. The cello glissandi recite the poem in the tone of Mandarin, echoed by the string harmonics. The music in Rehearsal F, G and H (m 129-202) is a toccata, starting in the orchestra (led by the marimba), which builds up a big shape, to reach the climax in m. 157 (Rehearsal G, the location of the Golden Section, according to the length of the music without cadenzas), and keeps the vivid scene towards the coda (from Rehearsal I, m. 203), which stands on the energetic peak until the clear cutoff on measure 239, followed by the short, yet powerful solo conclusion with the lingering echo produced by the high string harmonics. On the top, there is a recall of the three note motive in the sound of wonderland, touched by the motor-on vibraphone meaningfully. The music is written for 2 flutes, 2 oboes, 2 clarinets (in Bb), 2 bassoons, 4 French horns (in F), 2 trumpets (in Bb), 3 trombones, tuba, harp, 3 percussion players (Perc. 1: xylophone; Perc. 2: suspended cymbal, Japanese high woodblock, snare drum, bass drum and vibraphone; Perc. 3: marimba and tam-tam), solo violin, and strings. Duration is about 20 minutes.
