Par HESKETH KENNETH. L'éprouvette de deuxième Section sélectionnée pour les championnats 2009 Pontins Brass Band, qui se tiendra à Prestatyn sur le week-end du 24-25 octobre. En Danceries, par Kenneth Hesketh, les mélodies eux-mêmes sont un mélange de vieux et le nouveau. Où les anciens se produit, il a été adapté à l'humeur et la composition et est souvent entrecoupée de complètement nouveau matériau. Les harmonies contemporaines et les rythmes apportent un souffle de nouveau sur ces thèmes et ajouter le drame à la suite. Le premier mouvement, ' Accalmie Me au-delà de Thee ', est doux et harmonieuses, presque un barcarole, ce mouvement est très bien d'une rêverie. La mélodie originale avait le nom de Robin pauvres mouche, un titre plutôt déconcertant - mouche, cependant, dans le langage du XVIIe siècle signifiait caprice ou la fantaisie. Le second, ' La capture de cailles ', est un scherzo coloré, flottant sur une mélodie originale. Le matériau thématique est ensuite autour de la bande à contraste avec tuttis pléthorique. Le dernier que quelques barres fondu à presque rien, avant une dernière surprise ! ' Pour ma Dame.../ Répertoire / Brass Band

Par DE HAAN JACOB. This composition in two parts is one of the first successful works Jacob de Haan published for brass band. Somewhat under the influence of Ted Huggen’s Choral and Rock Out which was an overwhelming success at the time, the still very young Jacob de Haan wrote this composition. The first part (Air) exists of a choral melody with baroque grace notes, supported by a pop rhythm in the drums. The second part (Crazy Music) is a swinging bossa nova, in which various instrument groups present themselves in the continuously varying themes. The famous Black Dycke Mills Band contributed to the success of Crazy Music in the Air by regularly putting the piece on its tour programmes.

Par TOMASI HENRI. Suite is a piece for three Bb or C Trumpets composed by Henri Tomasi in 1964. This unusual suite lasts approximately 8'30 minutes. It is divided into three main parts: 1. Havanaise at a Tempo di Habanera, 2. Lento egeen and 3. Danse Bolivienne. The Havanaise is made of a danse part and a more melodious one. Its dialogue in between the Trumpets creates a counterpoint. In the second part, the three instruments alternate the theme with small variations and the last part, ; 3. Danse Bolivienne, is a toccata. This book features score and parts for Bb and C Trumpets. HenriTomasi was a French composer, conductor and winner of the Grand Prix de Rome in 1927. He also composed a variety of concerti for Alto Saxophone and for Trombone, as well as some ballades./ Répertoire / 3 Trompettes en Sib ou Do

Par SPARKE PHILIP. The Four Noble Truths are the most basic expression of the teaching of Buddha and therefore still form the guidelines for Buddhists to this day. The four truths are Dukkha, which describes times of major stress in our lives - birth, aging, desire and death; Samudaya which describes those parts of our life that induce stress, feeling, craving, desire; Nirodha which tells us how to eliminate those aspects of our lives which induce stress and Magga which describes the eight didciplines which can help us eliminate the origins of stress from our lives. It can be seen from these over-simplified definitions, that the Four Noble Truths fall into two pairs, the first two describingthe origins of stress and the second two describing how we can reduce stress. To reflect this, the four movements of this work are also combined into two pairs - two quick movements and two slow movements. A fascinating work from this great English composer. / Niveau : 4 / Pièce de concert / Répertoire / Brass Band
