Fanfare Band - Grade 4

SKU: BT.DHP-0991779-020

Composed by Jan Van der Roost. Brilliant Marches. Concert March. Set (Score & Parts). Composed 1999. De Haske Publications #DHP 0991779-020. Published by De Haske Publications (BT.DHP-0991779-020).

Minerva by Jan Van der Roost was composed on the commission of the German “Musikverein Braunshausen” on the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the orchestra. The composition, first performed on September 17, 1999, is not a street march but a concert march, just like Mercury and Arsenal. The use and variation of different rhythmic patterns gives the first part of this march a distinctly dynamic character. Two main themes are presented in several instrumental combinations. The theme from the trio, on the other hand, is characterized by a broad melodic approach using large intervals. This theme, wreathed by high woodwinds, is heard one more time after a contrasting newpart, but now in a somewhat slower tempo. The counterpoint in this part refers to the first part of the march. The brilliant ending suits a festive anniversary march!

Another Alfred Reed spectacular! The jaunty 6/8 tune in the woodwinds is complemented by the singing countermelodies of the Trio section. Commissioned for the opening of Kohoku New Town's (Japan) new concert hall, this march is sure to please!

The Fighting 50th Regiment is a delightfully patriotic march featuring the trumpet section and the upper woodwinds on the melody throughout and has a couple of drum breaks to keep the percussionists on their toes. With a trio section that is reminiscent of Anchors Aweigh, this piece is sure to please

March. Composed by King. Arranged by Glover. Concert Band. Karl L. King Centennial. Audio recording available separately (item CL.WFR391). March. Extra full score. Composed 2017. Duration 2 minutes, 30 seconds. Opus III Wind Orchestra Publications #012-4600-01. Published by Opus III Wind Orchestra Publications (CL.012-4600-01).

A ponderous and dramatic march from the King of all march composers! Composed for King’s friend Merle Evans, bandmaster for the Ringling Bros. Barnum & Bailey Circus, Invictus (which means unconquerable) lives up to its title! After a ponderous minor-key first section featuring low brass and woodwinds, the second features an exciting circusy sound. The trio is followed by a return to the minor key, and ends with a rock-solid final section. An excellent choice for more advanced high school, college, and adult bands, Invictus will impress audiences and engage performers from top to bottom!

Salutation was commissioned by Japanese conductor and broadcaster, Yutaka Nishida, a dear friend of the composer Philip Sparke. Salutation follows fairly conventional march form. A short fanfare introduces the main theme, played by clarinets and saxophones. A bridge passage, mainly in the brass, heralds a change of key and a legato second subject, again played initially by the clarinets, which leads to the conventional trio theme, which is then repeated by the full band. Sections of the second subject lead back to thehome key and a return of the main theme, embellished with woodwinds.

Prelude to a Celebration is a fantastic way to open any concert in the tradition of great symphonic openers. The work starts with a triumphant yet majestic fanfare from the trumpet section, which gives the basis for the whole work. A rollicking and driving faster section follows for the woodwinds, which leads into a broader trio before the opening fanfare returns to bring the work to a majestic conclusion. Whatever the occasion (or celebration), Prelude to a Celebration is one piece that is sure to have your audience on the edge of their seat and start your performance off in the finest of styles. Duration: 5:10.
