This composition reflects a colorful time in American history and is an opportunity for your band to discover ragtime rhythms. Folk hero Billy Miner (the Grey Fox) was the last of the old-time bandits. He was noted for his unusual politeness and is believed to be the originator of the phrase, Hands up! This composition is like a mini movie score and starts with the Billy Miner ragtime theme, followed by a train robbery, his capture, and final release. The artful interplay between sections gives this piece the sophisticated sound and intensity of a much more advanced work. Dur: 3:35.

Afro-Cuban composer Joseph (José) White Lafitte studied violin and composition at the Paris Conservatory between 1855 and 1871, winning the 1856 First Grand Prize. He eventually became a French citizen in 1870, leaving Paris only for a period of time between 1877 to 1889 when he was director of the Imperial Conservatory in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. White composed mainly for his own instrument, which happened to be the famous 1737 Swansong Stradivari violin.  In addition to numerous etudes and a virtuosic violin concerto, White wrote this habanera for two violins, La Bella Cubana. In this string orchestra arrangement, the lyrical melodic solos are spread throughout the orchestra. Traditional Cuban dance rhythms in the contrasting middle theme capture the vibrant joy of the original work.

Concert Band/Harmonie/Fanfare Band - Grade 2

Composed by Traditional. Arranged by Jacob De Haan. Christmas Collection. Christmas. Set (Score & Parts). Composed 2000. De Haske Publications #DHP 1001910-015. Published by De Haske Publications (BT.DHP-1001910-015).

Jacob de Haan arranged four Christmas carols in the suite Four Shepherd Songs. In the four-part instrumentation, creating the possibility to play the piece with a large number of varied strengths, he successively arranged Als ich bei meinen Schafen wacht, Inmitten der Nacht, Kommet ihr Hirten, and Ihr Hirten, erwacht. The arrangement was skillfully replenished with suitable percussion instruments. All of the carols can be performed with a choir (German text). Four Shepherd Songs beautifully enriches the Christmas repertoire.

Jacob de Haan bewerkte vier kerstliederen in de suite Four Shepherd Songs. In een vierstemmige instrumentatie, die de mogelijkheid biedt om het werk met een groot scala aan gevarieerde bezettingen te spelen, bewerkte hij achtereenvolgens:Als ich bei meinen Schafen wacht, Inmitten der Nacht, Kommet ihr Hirten en Ihr Hirten, erwacht. De vierstemmige instrumentatie werd vakkundig aangvuld met gepast slagwerk. Daarnaast kunnen alle liederenmet koor (Duitse tekst) uitgevoerd worden. De Four Shepherd Songs vormen hierdoor een verrijking van het kerstrepertoire.

J acob de Haan hat vier Weihnachtslieder bearbeitet und zu der Suite Four Shepherd Songs (Vier Hirtenlieder) zusammengefügt. Die vierstimmige Bearbeitung, die eine Aufführung mit vielen und unterschiedlich großen Besetzungen erlaubt, wurde mit Schlagzeug effektvoll angereichert. Alle vier Lieder können zudem mit einem Chor (deutscher Text) aufgeführt werden uns sind somit eine echte Bereicherung des weihnachtlichen Repertoires.

Four Shepherd Songs (“Quatre chants de bergers”) est une suite de quatre noëls traditionnels allemands. L’harmonisation quatre voix avec percussion offre un vaste choix de combinaisons instrumentales. Pour réaliser cet arrangement brillant, Jacob de Haan a rassemblé les chants Als ich bei meinen Schafen wacht, Inmitten der Nacht, Kommet Ihr Hirten et Ihr Hirten, erwacht. Cette pièce peut également être interprétée avec un Chœur mixte (SATB). Le set chœur [texte en allemand] est vendu séparément (réf. : DHP 1012653-050).

Nell a suite Four Shepherd Songs (Quattro canti di pastori), Jacob de Haan ha arrangiato per banda quattro canti natalizi tedeschi, Als ich bei meinen Schafen wacht, Inmitten der Nacht, Kommet Ihr Hirten e Ihr Hirten, erwacht, con la possibilit di eseguirli con una qualsiasi strumentazione variabile. La strumentazione a quattro parti è stata arrangiata abilmente e completata con le percussioni. Inoltre, tutti i canti possono essere eseguiti assieme ad un coro (con testo in lingua tedesca). Four Shepherd Songs è senza dubbio un valido arricchimento del repertorio natalizio.

This jazz standard is typically a jazz waltz, but this superb chart has a very hip Latin-pardido feel in 4/4. Tempo is half note around 77 BPM, with solo opportunities, tenor 1 and trumpet 2 with suggested written solo provided. Lead trumpet range goes to written A-flat, a great sax soli along with optional flute and vibe parts. Up Jumped Spring arranged by Jeff Jarvis is an excellent choice! (5:41).
