A new day. A new event. A new opportunity. We look forward to these things and the potential they hold. We live our lives looking forward, but we understand them looking backward (a thought of Danish philosopher Soren Kierkegaard). We do not always know what the future may hold, but we must remember: first, there are no guarantees beyond the time and opportunity we are given to do good. Second, change around us is inevitable. Finally, and the most important aspect, we have choices. This lesson is fixed to the composer's office door: Today is the greatest day of your life, if you want it to be. Why not look forward to the Promise on the Horizon and the possibilities for greatness that lie within it? The opening motif of this concert fanfare is purposely inquisitive as the piece seeks to establish its first steps. The subtle shift at measure 37 and again at measure 69 are reminders of the challenges that await us during the journey. Here again it is a matter of choice - do we choose to let circumstances define us, or do we define the circumstances? The section at 93 is a resounding answer that we will move barriers, overcome obstacles and keep our vision looking forward. The piece builds toward an exciting conclusion from measure 127 onward. The piece reinforces several basic rhythmic patterns in 6/8 time. As a number of these rhythms are repeated, it provides an easy opportunity for the entire ensemble to grow more comfortable performing in this meter. While it is a fanfare-type piece, remind young musicians to play with lightness and precision, rather than intensity in volume. Maintaining this style of articulation and accuracy helps the rhythms in 6/8 time maintain their buoyancy. It is vital that each musician listens for the melody and balances their part, especially in moments where the melody is passed between sections. If vibes are not available, a second bell set can be employed in its place. It is hoped that this piece is an uplifting way to open your next concert, and a meaningful opportunity for you to discuss the power of making positive choices with your students in the ensemble (as a reminder, regular practicing of their instrument is a positive choice). Wishing you and your ensemble well as you look to the Promise on the Horizon.

Clarinets to the Fore keeps the promise of its own title: the entire clarinet section of your band is put into the spotlight. The two virtuoso outer sections of this entertaining work are separated by a blues-style middle section. Here’s Harm Evers in top form!

De titel van dit bravourewerk verraadt alvast dat de klarinettengroep centraal staat. Het eerste en laatste gedeelte zorgen voor de nodige virtuositeit waarmee uw sectie stevig kan uitpakken. In het middengedeelte, een heuse blues, is er dan weer ruimte voor melancholie en expressie.

Clarinets to the Fore - Klarinetten nach vorne“ - dieser Titel hält, was er verspricht, indem er das ganze Klarinettenregister Ihres Orchesters ins Rampenlicht rückt. Die zwei virtuosen Eckteile dieses unterhaltsamen Werkes werden von einem bluesähnlichen Mittelteil unterbrochen. Harm Evers in Hochform!

Comme le titre l’indique déj , Clarinets to the Fore (Les clarinettes au premier plan) est une oeuvre brillante qui permettra aux clarinettistes de votre formation de dévoiler tout leur talent. L’accompagnement orchestral est soigné et souligne élégamment la trame solistique. La première partie est vive et spontanée. S’en suit un motif plus lyrique où deux solistes sont mis en avant. Le _x001C_finale est éclatant_x001E_!

Come indica il titolo, Clarinets to the Fore è un brano brillante che consente ai clarinettisti del vostro organico di mettere in mostra il proprio talento. L’accompagnamento orchestrale è curato e a_x001F_ffianca elegantemente la trama solistica. La prima parte è vivace e spontanea e precede un motivo più lirico nel quale i due solisti si mettono in evidenza.

PROGRAM NOTES Santa's Majesty is inspired by the promise and grandeur presented by Santa Claus. Many of us place our faith in legendary figures hoping for good to be shared with those around us in our lives. The intention of this work is to capture the majesty surrounding our beloved Saint Nicholas. NOTES TO CONDUCTOR The duration of the composition is two minutes at the marked tempo. Careful attention should be given to articulations, dynamic changes and phrasing throughout the work. The entire work should be felt in two even though it is marked in common time. Be sure not to breathe after any crescendo throughout the work. Measure 73 through measure 75 should give focus to the tenor voices. The last three quarter notes of the piece should be emphasized a little heavier with some space.
