The Fuzzsquatch Fuzzdrive will make your rig roar! This hulking humanoid harnesses the unique power of operational amplifiers (op-amps) to craft its signature sustained distortion. Featuring expansive tone-shaping capabilities and a character all its own, the Fuzzsquatch promises to transport you to a realm of colossal fuzz tone nirvana! The Fuzzsquatch Fuzzdrive is a recreation of the Electro-Harmonix Big Muff Pi, first released in 1969. Originally marketed as a “harmonic distortion sustain,” it has been lumped together with fuzz effects, although it's a very different animal than classic fuzz effects like a Fuzz Face or a Tone Bender. The circuitry of the Fuzzsquatch Fuzzdrive differs from the traditional transistor-based Big Muff circuit in that it uses operational amplifiers (op-amps) to achieve its signature sustaining sound. With widely-sweeping tone controls and a character all its own, the Fuzzsquatch Fuzzdrive will surely be a formidable addition to your sonic arsenal.

Brass Band - Grade 6

SKU: BT.AMP-028-130

Composed by Philip Sparke. Elite Series. Concert Piece. Score Only. Composed 2003. Anglo Music Press #AMP 028-130. Published by Anglo Music Press (BT.AMP-028-130).

The piece reflects the composer's fascination with the origins of the universe and deep space in general. The title comes from a theory, formulated by Pythagoras, that the cosmos was ruled by the same laws he had discovered that govern the ratios of note frequencies of the musical scale. (‘Harmonia’ in Ancient Greek, which means scale or tuning rather than harmony - Greek music was monophonic). He also believed that these ratios corresponded to the distances of the six known planets from the sun and that the planets each produced a musical note which combined to weave a continuous heavenly melody (which, unfortunately, we humans cannot hear). In this work, these six notesform the basis of the sections MUSIC OF THE SPHERES and HARMONIA. The pieces opens with a horn solo called t = 0, a name given by some scientists to the moment of the Big Bang when time and space were created, and this is followed by a depiction of the BIG BANG itself, as the entire universe bursts out from a single point. A slower section follows called THE LONELY PLANET which is a meditation on the incredible and unlikely set of circumstances which led to the creation of the Earth as a planet that can support life, and the constant search for other civilisations elsewhere in the universe. ASTEROIDS AND SHOOTING STARS depicts both the benign and dangerous objects that are flying through space and which constantly threaten our planet, and the piece ends with THE UNKNOWN, leaving in question whether our continually expanding exploration of the universe will eventually lead to enlightenment or destruction.

Dit werk weerspiegelt de fascinatie van de componist voor het heelal. Het begint met een hoornsolo met de naam t = 0, waarmee sommige wetenschappers de oerknal aanduiden. Dan volgt een weergave van de oerknal zelf. Het volgendegedeelte, The Lonely Planet, is een meditatie over het ongelooflijke samenspel van omstandigheden dat leidde tot het ontstaan van de Aarde. Asteroids and Shooting Stars beschrijft objecten in de ruimte. Het werkeindigt met The Unknown, waarmee we in het ongewisse blijven over de gevolgen van onze verdere verkenning van het universum. In 2005 won Philip Sparke met Music of the Spheres de National Band Association/William D.Revelli Memorial Band Composition Contest.

Mit diesem großartigen Werk, das dem Auftraggeber der Yorkshire Building Society Band am Europäischen Brass Band Wettbewerb 2004 in Glasgow als Selbstwahlstück zu einem weiteren Titel verhalf, beweist Philip Sparke einmal mehr seine außergewöhnlichen kompositorischen Fähigkeiten. Dieses Werk über die Ursprünge des Universums führt uns vom Urknall, vorbei an einsamen Planeten, Asteroiden und Sternschnuppen schließlich ins Unbekannte - die ungewisse Zukunft. Ein Glanzstück und eine echte Herausforderung für jeden Spitzen-Brass Band!

La fresque Music of the Spheres (“La musique des sphères”) souligne la fascination qu’éprouve le compositeur pour les origines de l’univers. L’orchestration est proche de la musique de film. Le climat musical est ample, sonore et contrasté.

Music of the Spheres evidenza il fascino che le origini dell’universo esercitano su Philip Sparke. Il titolo proviene da una teoria del matematico greco Pitagora, secondo la quale il cosmo è retto dalle stesse leggi che governano i rapporti di frequenza tra le note della scala musicale. Questa composizione inizia con un assolo di corno chiamato t = 0, nozione che definisce il momento del big-bang. The Lonely Planet (Il pianeta solitario) è una meditazione sulle circostanze che hanno portato alla creazione della terra. Asteroids and Shooting Stars (Asteroidi e Stelle cadenti) descrive i molteplici oggetti che si muovono nello spazio e che rappresentano unrischio per il nostro pianeta. Le battute finali portano verso l’ignoto (The Unknown) sollevando una domanda la cui risposta resta in sospeso: la nostra continua avanzata nell’esplorazione dell’Universo porter un giorno alla scoperta o alla distruzione?

Hvil (Eng.:rest) is an imperative, and a plea: the earth's plea to humankind. This plea consists of words and music which have taken shape at the same time in a close collaboration between composer and the author Aasne Linnesta. 'Hvil' was commissioned by the Nordland Musikkfestuke festival, Bodo, in 2008 and received its premier performance there by Marianne Beate Kielland and Nils Anders Mortensen. The piece is released on the album 'Come Away Death' by Kielland and Sergej Osadchuk (piano) on the Norwegian label 2L, in 2010.

In this powerful offering from Mark Hayes, we journey with Christ through Holy Week, experiencing momentous events that changed history for all of humankind. Mark's distinctive compositional voice adds to the drama of the work. Masterful arrangements of Twila Paris's Lamb of God and Keith Getty and Stuart Townend's The Power of the Cross, along with an unforgettable mezzo soprano solo inspired by Michelangelo's Pieta, contribute to a truly compelling work for Easter worship. This work may be performed during Holy Week by excluding the final movement or in its entirety for Easter and Eastertide. The beautiful piano accompaniment reflects Mark's keyboard artistry, and his masterful orchestration offers an added dimension to the drama. The Power of the Cross provides an artful and poignant reminder of Christ's sacrifice of love, His triumph over death, and His promise of redemption for us all.

Warum gerade ein Orchester-Liederzyklus nach Celan-Gedichten zum Beethoven-Jubilaum 2002? Was verbindet die humanistischen Ideen des genialen Klassikers mit dem gespaltenen Menschenbild eines der bedeutendsten Lyriker des 20. Jahrhunderts? Vielleicht die Gestaltung des Aussergewohnlichen in Wort und Ton? - oder die innere Einsamkeit des grossen Kunstlertums? Der mir zum diesjahrigen Bonner Beethovenfest gegebene Kompositionsauftrag war an kein bestimmtes Thema gebunden. Beim Nachdenken uber einen sinnvollen Beitrag mit Beethoven-Bezug erinnerte ich mich an mein 1967 komponiertes Werk Mit wechselndem Schlussel , Lieder nach Paul Celan fur Bariton und Klavier (aus Celans Gedichtbanden ,,Mohn und ,,Gedachtnis und ,,Von Schwelle zu Schwelle), entstanden wahrend einer sehr progressiven Schaffensperiode, inspiriert von Versen, die Vergangenheit und Gegenwart poetisch verschlusselt miteinander verknupfen. Langer schon plante ich, diesen Zyklus zu orchestrieren - das schien mir jetzt der geeignete Ansatz zur Erfullung meines Auftrags, denn ich wollte zugleich das Werk formal anders gestalten, die sieben einzelnen Gesange unter einem grossen symphonischen Bogen zusammenfassen. So entstand ein ganz neues Opus - eine Art Solo-Kantate fur Singstimme und Orchester - durchaus im Beethovenschen Sinn und Geist, da ich mich wahrend der Ausarbeitung der neuen Fassung von Kompositions- und Instrumentations-Ideen und -Prozessen aus Beethoven-Symphonien anregen liess. So zum Beispiel bei der Durchfuhrung von charakteristischen Motiven und Strukturen: im Prolog und im ersten Lied (Kristall), oder bei der Gestaltung dramatischer Bewegungsablaufe - etwa im vierten Lied (In Gestalt eines Ebers), bei der Darstellung kammermusikalisch-lyrisch er Stimmungen im funften Lied (Nachts) und bei titanischen Klangausbruchen im Schlussgesang (An den langen Tischen der Zeit), schliesslich bei der formalen Gliederung des ganzen Werks in funf symmetrisch angeordnete, grossere Satze. Fazit: ein Beitrag zur Synthese von zeitgenossischer Lyrik und Musik im Geiste Beethovens.

NASA's Apollo program is known for landing the first humans on the moon in 1969. In this composition, your dauntless adventure begins with a powerful lift off. Once achieved, the main theme is presented by flutes, oboe, and then trumpets, with stabilizers provided by baritone, tenor sax, and eventually the remainder of the crew. Stage 1 boosters (a strong, rhythmic accompaniment) provide the propulsion needed to voyage through to a sea of tranquility (lyrical section). From there we journey to an adventurous transition and a final re-entry of the main theme. (2:35) This title is available in MakeMusic Cloud.

Between Beethoven and Brahms, a long neglected workSchumann's last work for solo instrument and orchestra was not given its premiere until 1937, at which time it was also released in an editorially inadequate version. A re-evaluation of Schumann's late oeuvre began in the 1980s, in the wake of which the missing link between the concertos of Beethoven and Brahms (Yehudi Menuhin) also drew increasing attention. Since then, those in the know have come to appreciate the work, whose unique musical and technical demands challenge for both interpreter and listener.This new edition of what is perhaps the most underestimated masterpiece of the Romantic era is the first meticulously prepared Urtext edition of the score. Nothing short of incredible is the fact that the composer's own piano reduction from which Clara Schumann and Joseph Joachim played the piece is being published here for the first time! Thomas Zehetmair, who has significantly contributed to the re-assessment of the concerto, assumed the task of providing a sound technical basis to his revision of the solo part.Perhaps this edition will help stimulate awareness and appreciation of this unjustly forgotten romantic violin concerto described by Menuhin as the missing link between the concertos by Beethoven to Brahms. (John Thomson, Stringendo)
