The Beatles
remain the
biggest-selling British
group of all time with
their countless hits and
timeless classics written
by John Lennon and Paul
McCartney. All You Need
Is Love is one such song
that recently made it
into the top 40 pop songs
of all time. In this
arrangement Thijs Oud has
utilised all the original
Beatles elements whilst,
at the end, integrating
‘snippets’
of many more of their
hits. Perfect for all
concert programmes this
will also make an
excellent finale to your
events.

This is my
first work for piano,
except for studies. The
'bell' and 'cloud' in the
subtitle are metaphors of
motifs used in this
piece. The motif
representing the sound of
the 'bell' in Le gibet,
the second of Gaspard de
la nuit by Maurice Ravel,
is transferred here and
tolled insistently from
the beginning. The motif
gradually loses its
figure and transforms
into tremolos which
represent 'clouds'. I
name the process
'Disincarnations.' The
work represents the
transforming process
itself. -Kenji Sakai.

In the
seventies, Elvis Presley
gave many concerts with
an orchestra that
included a large wind
section. These concerts
were characterised by
enthusiasm and a fast
tempo. Burning Love was
one of the up-tempo
numbers where the bass
guitar player played an
especially important
role. Thus, this
arrangement of Burning
Love, written by Thijs
Oud, brings a specific
challenge for the
musicians in the low
register. The trumpets
and the trombones can
also play standing behind
the band adding to the
visual and dynamic

Babilya was inspired by
music from Iraq, in
particular the beautiful
sonorities of the oud, a
variety of Middle Eastern
lute dating back to
antiquity. An oud-like
resonance is evoked
without the use of a bow
via a combination of
'arabic' scales, open
strings, ringing
harmonics and ornamental
inflections.The
particular oud piece that
inspired this one was
written to help lull the
children of Bagdad to
sleep during bombing
raids and bears the same
title, which translates
from the Arabic as
'Babylonian Prayer. (Zoe

Rainb
ow in the Clouds is
based on an old
traditional spiritual,
possibly an
African-American song
from the 19th century,
entitled God Put a
Rainbow in the
Clouds. Composer
Carol Brittin Chambers
was inspired by poetic
Maya Angelou to create of
setting of this beautiful
song. It is lush and
beautiful throughout and
will highlight the
musicianship of your
students. This would
serve as a welcome change
of pace piece on your
program for concert or
contest. Rainbow in
the Clouds was
commissioned by the
Pflugerville Middle
School Wind Ensemble in
Pflugerville, Texas,
directed by Shauna
Satrom. The piece
premiered in May 2017, in
memory and celebration of
Luis Ham, who was an
Assistant Principal at
Pflugerville Middle
School.This piece is
based on an old
traditional spiritual,
possibly an
African-American song
from the nineteenth
century, entitled God Put
a Rainbow in the Clouds.
The first time I heard
reference to this song
was in a Maya Angelou
video, in which she sings
a portion of it:
“When it looked
like the sun
wouldn’t shine
anymore, Oh, God put a
rainbow in the
clouds.†In the
video, Dr. Angelou honors
those who have
demonstrated kindness to
her in the past, and she
suggests that we all try
to be a blessing to
others. The Pflugerville
community believed that
Mr. Ham, with his
positive outlook, was
definitely a
“rainbow in the
clouds†for other
people.The piece begins
with a full ensemble
introduction, followed by
a woodwind treatment of
the first verse with a
fairly reserved tempo and
straight eighth-note
rhythm. When brass pick
up the melody on the
second phrase, we start
to hear the song more
like the original
spiritual, with
dotted-eighth, sixteenth
rhythms. The middle
section of the piece at
m. 22 begins to move at a
slightly quicker tempo,
and the mood becomes
lighter. This section
becomes a
call-and-response between
a euphonium solo and
upper woodwinds. The
final section of the
piece involves everyone
playing together joyously
and full, eventually
winding down with two
more solo statements in
flute and euphonium.Note
to the Conductor:Use this
piece to introduce or
reinforce the following
musical concepts:Lyrical,
expressive playing varied
stylesSolo
responsibilitiesKey

traditional spiritual,
possibly an
African-American song
from the nineteenth
century, entitled God Put
a Rainbow in the Clouds.
The first time I heard
reference to this song
was in a Maya Angelou
video, in which she sings
a portion of it:
“When it looked
like the sun
wouldn’t shine
anymore, Oh, God put a
rainbow in the
clouds.†In the
video, Dr. Angelou honors
those who have
demonstrated kindness to
her in the past, and she
suggests that we all try
to be a blessing to
others. The Pflugerville
community believed that
Mr. Ham, with his
positive outlook, was
definitely a
“rainbow in the
clouds†for other
people.The piece begins
with a full ensemble
introduction, followed by
a woodwind treatment of
the first verse with a
fairly reserved tempo and
straight eighth-note
rhythm. When brass pick
up the melody on the
second phrase, we start
to hear the song more
like the original
spiritual, with
dotted-eighth, sixteenth
rhythms. The middle
section of the piece at
m. 22 begins to move at a
slightly quicker tempo,
and the mood becomes
lighter. This section
becomes a
call-and-response between
a euphonium solo and
upper woodwinds. The
final section of the
piece involves everyone
playing together joyously
and full, eventually
winding down with two
more solo statements in
flute and euphonium.Note
