Concert Band/Harmonie - Grade 2.5

SKU: BT.CMP-0626-02-010

Composed by George Frideric Handel. Arranged by James Curnow. Sinfonia Series. Set (Score & Parts). Composed 2002. Curnow Music #CMP 0626-02-010. Published by Curnow Music (BT.CMP-0626-02-010).

This arrangement of Handels beautiful melody was created as an educational tool for teaching students both the legato (sustained) style and the expressive quality of playing. Though these qualities of performance are not generally considered fun by younger students, compared to playing fast, exciting music with more technical demands, it actually requires a great deal more musical maturity and ability.

De titel van Händels bekende Largo is een Italiaanse muziekterm die het laagst mogelijke tempo aanduidt. Meer in het algemeen vraagt de term ook een brede stijl van spelen, in een plechtige beweging. James Curnow schreef ditarrangement als educatief materiaal om jonge orkestleden zowel legato(vloeiende) stijl als de expressie tijdens het spelen bij te brengen. De mooie melodie wordt veel gespeeld tijdens bruiloften en kerkelijke feesten en aangeleenheden.

Di e Melodie des 1720 zum ersten Mal für Cembalo erschienenen Largo erklingt oft zu Hochzeiten und ähnlichen festlichen Anlässen. James Curnows Arrangement des Largo für Blasorchester ist nicht allzu schwer. Das Stück eignet sich damit gut, auch unerfahrene Orchester in das langsame, getragene Spiel einzuführen, das diese wunderschöne Melodie verlangt.

En 1738, Haendel compose l’opéra-comique Serse qui relate les diverses escapades amoureuses de Xerxès - représentation purement imaginaire du roi de Perse. Il intègre dans cette œuvre, l’aria Ombra mai fú, reprise dans diverses versions instrumentales sous le titre de Largo d’Haendel. L’arrangement de James Curnow est idéal pour mettre en valeur les caractéristiques sonores de chaque famille d’instrument, développer l’expressivité et le jeu legato.
