Percussion Section Feature. Par CURNOW JAMES. A vibrant and attentive Percussion section is crucial to the success of any concert band. However, the Percussionists play a supporting role so much of the time that it can be difficult to keep your best players excited about their music. One of the best ways to beat that problem is to program an occasional feature piece. James Curnow’s BLOCKBUSTER PERCUSSION is just the arrangement you need when it’s time to let the Percussion section “show off” a bit. Bold, exciting themes and a well-crafted rhythmic modal concept keep the parts interesting for all the players in the band. AND, audiences love the energy that only the Percussion section can deliver! Give everyone a treatby programming BLOCKBUSTER PERCUSSION soon! / Niveau : 2 / Musique légère originale / Répertoire / Percussions et Concert Band ou Harmonie

Par YAGISAWA SATOSHI. Cette pièce vient compléter la série de concertos composés par Satoshi Yagisawa. L’écriture d’un authentique solo de percussion ainsi que l’élégante orchestration font de ce concertino une oeuvre exceptionnelle, largement appréciée par l’auditoire. Le style d’écriture de Satoshi Yagisawa est habituellement dramatique, mais il se pourrait fort bien qu’une empreinte de couleur différente nous soit offerte avec Concertino pour Percussion et Orchestre à Vent ! / Niveau : 3 / oeuvre solo et Orchestre / Répertoire / Percussions et Concert Band ou Harmonie

Par CURNOW JAMES. Feature the section that “delivers the energy” in this great new arrangement by James Curnow. Based on a French folk song that tells a story about three young drummer boys, the music uses imitation, question and answer and stylistic rhythmic figures to challenge these proud musicians. While featuring the Percussion section, there are also great parts for everyone else, so the entire group will stay engaged and productive in rehearsal. Spirited! / Niveau : 1.5 / Musique légère originale / Répertoire / Percussions et Concert Band ou Harmonie
